SECTION I: Gasoline Tests “McCain,” “Hillary,” and “Obama”

So, I said two months ago or so that gasoline prices could be a big challenge to the governments here and there.

It can even test US Presidential candidates:
------
Obama, who as a state senator supported temporarily suspending the Illinois gas tax in 2000, cast Clinton's proposal as a ploy that would, according to an estimate by the Congressional Budget Office, save the average family about $30 for the summer -- or, he said yesterday, "30 cents a day, which is less than you can buy a cup of coffee for at 7-Eleven." He began running a 60-second ad showing a clip of him responding to what he calls the "Clinton-McCain proposal" at a rally.
------

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/30/AR2008043003575_pf.html

However, I am concerned with words of a Harvard professor on economy:
------
"What you learn in Economics 101 is that if producers can't produce much more, when you cut the tax on that good the tax is kept . . . by the suppliers and is not passed on to consumers," he said.
------

It is a basic of economics but cannot be a basic of wisdom.

I will tell you that it is not a matter of supply, demand, and prices, but a potential for supply, a potential for purchase, a differentiated change of prices, and information.

In this case on gasoline prices in the U.S. this summer, it is information that is a key to solving the problem. Necessary information on states of supply and needs, and an expected price change must be disseminated among consumers.

If the US Government provides all the necessary information to consumers, asking them to behave like a Christian and a good neighbor when the US Government suspends an execution of taxation on gasoline for poor Americans, people will start to control their driving practices and habits so as to avoid catastrophe.

Extensive public announcements and media reports on this issue along with this purpose will help US consumers behave like a hero.

It is, however, what a Harvard professor does not want, since US consumers will no more respect cold-blood professors on economics.

It is really what Jesus Christ preached down to. He really lamented 2000 years ago, saying: “Professors do more harm than good to people.”


(From a political point of view, a focus should be on the following part of the Washington Post article:
------
Clinton stresses that she, unlike McCain, would push for a windfall-profits tax on oil companies to offset any benefit to them…
Burman called this "utterly incoherent," saying that a windfall-profits tax would over the long term only exacerbate the supply problems…
"So a policy intended to lower prices, but which won't do that, will be offset with a policy that's likely to raise prices over the long term," he said.)
------

Indeed, that incoherence in Mrs. Clinton’s policy ideas can be a big issue, since she is an American woman, good or bad, in my humble Japanese view.)


SECTION II: CxHx

Gasoline is mainly made of only carbon and hydrogen.

It includes various types of hydrocarbon molecules, such as C6H6 (benzene), C7H8 (toluene), C4H8 (butene), C4H10 (butane), C6H12 (hexene), etc.

These are all simple chemical structures.

You take six of carbon atoms and six of hydrogen atoms from any convenient sources to combine them together so as to form a molecule; then you can get C6H6, a component of gasoline.

But, 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 carbon atoms weigh only 12 grams.

One gallon or 3.8 liters of gasoline must include carbon and hydrogen atoms literally running into astronomical figures.

Mankind cannot still create gasoline while carbon and hydrogen are all around them here and there, even in the air and water.

But, the God created them so easily and put them in crude oil.

As mankind comes to love God less and less while loving money more and more, this gasoline-price problem can be regarded as a natural consequence of human arrogance.

Conversely, when mankind repents and comes to love God more and more and abhors money more and more, this gasoline-price problem can be solved.

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

That’s all for today as is usual.

You may be busy, since there seems to be parties and conferences here and there nowadays.

And, remember that the Chinese President is expected to visit Japan the next week.

It is time for Japan to help China set appropriate gasoline prices and develop natural resources including natural gas and crude oil.

(So, have a good weekend. Rest your wings.

And, do not drive much, though I often drove passing Tokyo to the west to serve God.

I saw just only once a remarkable driver in my driving experiences on expressways who could drive a car truly as a master on the road, which made me so humble.

Among ordinary people, there are many hidden masters in various fields in Japan.

Yet, somebody must be in charge of praising God even in this country to save the nation…

May God Come to You like the Sun!)

EEE-LECTURE ON EUROPE

EEE-LECTURE ON EUROPE

(L'Europe est une bénédiction pour l'humanité?)


If you have anything classy money can buy in Paris or Rome, your value cannot be enhanced.

Selfish guys can also feel like a hero when they come back and display their pictures taken in Paris and Rome to their colleagues of good nature.

Such things spoil young men.

If you want to restore economy and social systems in your country, you had better not recommend young men and women traveling to Paris and Rome, since I have never seen anybody coming back to Tokyo to show their growth in piousness and faith in the God Almighty who allowed the survival of the European Civilization to date for some holy reasons I am highly concerned with.

And, Tokyo is the greatest and mightiest city a single race or a tribe has ever built on the earth since the Age of Pyramids.



SECTION I: COLLAPSE OF THE WESTERN ROMAN EMPIRE

There are two contradictory views on why the Western Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century.

(i) Peacefully transited to the Middle Age with emergence of new kingdoms in the north of the Alps, especially in present France, as recently discussed in “THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE” by Mr. Peter Heather.

(ii) Demolished unbearably mainly due to invasion by eastern wild tribes with drastic downfall of the Civilization to the level of the Stone Age as recently discussed in “THE FALL OF ROME AND THE END OF CIVILISATION” by Mr. Bryan Ward-Perkins.
http://www.amazon.com/Fall-Rome-End-Civilization/dp/0192805649


This issue is related to the present arguments about CO2 emission-related crises mainly claimed by European elites.

It is because there is another convincing argument based on the climate change theory, for example in the Web site of the University of Arkansas :

---
Studies of climate changes and their subsequent influences on humans are in no way unique or new as evident from the previous discussion. So, why have scholars apparently neglected climate influence on human activity in the third century AD if there have been so many other times where climate may have had significant influence?

The answer lies in two areas: one, high-resolution climate data was not available and second, there has been a lack of communication between the historians/ archaeologists and the paleoclimatologists. The data that are readily available include palynology, which does yield annual resolution data sets, and dendrochronology, which is the best method of paleoclimatological reconstruction. Other proxies are also helpful in piecing the puzzle together

http://www.cast.uark.edu/student_pubs/david_holt/germanic_movement_theories.htm
----

(iii) Every incident that led to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire was triggered by a great climate change around the 5th century.

This theory is supported by a book titled “The Long Summer: How Climate Changed Civilization” by Mr. Brian Fagan.

A Japanese blogger presented a very persuasive figure contained in the above book to address his idea to the same effect.

http://www.teamrenzan.com/archives/writer/nagai/roman_empire.html

It is important to note that the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa, which have repeated globally influential eruptions several times in the past, is said to have erupted in 416 and 535.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa#416_AD_event


SECTION II: DISCONTINUITY IN EUROPEAN HISTORY

It is apparent that the history of Europe has the age of discontinuity.

The Eras from Greece Civilization, the Empire of Alexander the Great, Caesar and Cleopatra, and the further prosperity of the Roman Empire until the 5th century did not smoothly lead to the Era of the Frankish Empire, including the following episodes, and further to the Middle Age:
- Merovingian rise and decline, 481–687
- Dominance of the mayors of the palace, 687–751
- Carolingian empire, 751–840
- Divided empire, post-840

You must also realize that the Eras from Greece Civilization, the Empire of Alexander the Great, Caesar and Cleopatra, and the further prosperity of the Roman Empire until the 5th century were featured by sub-tropical environments, especially around the Mediterranean.

The modes of clothes and buildings adopted by Greek philosophers, Alexander the Great, Caesar and Cleopatra, and Roman citizens were all for living in a sub-tropical environment.

But, clothes and buildings Western Europeans put on and built in the Middle Age and after were apparently for living in cold regions.

It is a quantum leap from a sub-tropical flourish, sophisticated, and open culture under the azure sky to a drab, somber, and often gloomy living under a leaden sky.

From the Middle Age to the present Era of the EU through the Renaissance, the Age of Geographical Discovery, bourgeois revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, the Age of Imperialism, WWI, WWII, and the Cold War, the (Western) European history has been proceeding basically in the only one environment with drab, somber, and often gloomy living of people under a leaden sky.

The key age of discontinuity apparently corresponds to the period of time when the Western Roman Empire collapsed.

The collapse was apparently triggered by a great climate change that caused invasion by wild tribes from the east, namely, Central Asia and North East Asia.

This large scale climate change, probably triggered by global cold temperature, could be ascribed to the great eruptions of the Indonesian volcano Krakatoa which have repeated globally influential eruptions several times in the past, say, in 416 and 535.

(Dusts and ash a volcano spews to the air prevents sun rays and heat from reaching the surface of the ground, thus lowering the temperature in the ecosystem based on which human societies are built, including its agriculture activities...)

If so, the Indonesian volcano governed the European history and thus the world history.

For example, even in Japan, during this Era, namely the 5th century, due to cold temperature, people put on clothes suitable for cold regions as proved by various clay figures excavated from great ancient burial mounds which were built all over Japan for rulers central and local only in this period.

In China, there is also a great gap in history of dynasties around this period. No single kingdom between the 3rd century and the 6th century had power and momentum to unify all mainland China, unlike Han and Qin dynasties, probably due to a lower level of agricultural products.

Europeans only know the European History; but it is truly parallel with that of China and even Japan.


SECTION III: THE VATICAN

Now you know that Europe is based on two paradigms: the original sub-tropical one of Greece and Roman times and the later developed cold-region-adaptive one of successors of the Frankish Empire.

And, the transition period between the two Ages must be severe and cruel with long-persisting famines, frequently repeated invasion by wild tribes, and a helpless debacle of long established social systems.

It is just like the God at last punished the Roman Empire who had executed Jesus Christ in Jerusalem some 400 years before.

South and Western Europes must have been buried forever.

But, the Vatican stood and saved Europe.

Yet, immediately after the decisive work of the Vatican in this period, the God judged the mind and heart of the Popes and other leaders of the Vatican and thus decided to endow Arabs with Islam for holy reasons.

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

Now, that’s all for today.

But, remember Hitler was also a product of the influence of the paradigm of the Roman Empire while another new comer to the history, the Rothschild clan, owed its rise to the Vatican who could not develop an idea to cope with a new type of enemies against the teaching of Jesus Christ, namely modern financial desire, though the Vatican had to adhere to the old paradigm of the ancient sub-tropical European civilization to maintain order and its hegemony all over Europe.

Indeed, remember that is why Europeans today are eager to deal with CO2, since their instinct tells them that a climate change could destroy them.

Yet, you have to learn what happened in China and Japan over the above focused period, since China gradually started to lose faith in Buddhism; but Japan changed its mode of burial of rulers from the one based on original Shintoism using a big mound to the new one based on Buddhism with the building of sophisticated temples and other work of religious art.

Truly, that is all for today, again.



(As I once wrote, the French language is under strong influence of traditions of the Roman Empire. France can be really regarded as a hidden successor of the Roman Empire in the cold zone whose function Germany cannot take for itself forever, though irresponsible Anglo Saxons left the European Continent forever in those periods.

But, take note of the following:
"Civilization arose during a remarkably long summer. We still have no idea when, or how, that summer will end"
http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/eh/9.4/br_3.html )

Indeed, what you must be prepared for might be a remarkably long summer. But, with whom, or for whom??

I don’t think the nation Japan has completed its long, long summer if its population starts to a kind of decline…

Of course, this is an example of nonsense data based on prejudice and ignorance.

But, its implication cannot be neglected, if non-religious implicates advancement of science in the society without any adherence to superstition.

So, I like to help those who love Japan.


SECTION I: THE EMPEROR SHOWA (Showa Ten-nou)

Though respectfully, “Hirohito” in Wikipedia has about 60 entries for different languages in the world, while “Jyunichiro Koizumi,” being so popular as a former prime minister of Japan, has about 50 different-language entries.

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

In Japanese His Majesty the Emperor is called “Ten-nou Heika.”

Every Japanese knows that the Emperor Showa (born in 1901), meaning the Emperor of the Showa Era – between 1926 and 1989), has a personal name “Hirohito” which however nobody uses, in most cases, to mean him in daily conversations or a discussion with a reverence.

So, when we hear the English expression “Hirohito” or even “Emperor Hirohito,” we feel usually uncomfortable.

(There are 171,000 hits for “Showa Ten-nou” but only 5,700 hits for “Ten-nou Hirohito” and 3,460 hits for “Hirihito Ten-nou” as results of Internet search mostly in the Japanese domains using Kanji letters.)

Nonetheless, the Emperor is called simply “Ten-nou” when referring to the function or position or otherwise in historical context, say, in a discussion or writing.

The Kanji (originally Chinese) letter “Ten” means heaven; the Kanji letter “Nou” or “Kou (as a standard sound)” means the first great king.

(http://shimo.exblog.jp/4848937/ )

However, all other emperors in the world, including ones who ever existed in China in the past, are called “Kou-tei” in Japanese.

The Kanji letter “Tei” means a god since this letter originally means a table on which tributes to a god are placed.

Anyway, when Japanese started to call their ruler “Ten-nou” instead of “Oh (meaning a king who is supposed to obey the emperor, specifically the Chinese Emperor)” unlike other Asian tribes and races around ancient China 1,300 years ago, Japan did not any more rely on China in terms of politics and military affair.

Before and during WWII, the Emperor Showa presided over the supreme meeting (Privy Council) with top political leaders of the Empire of Japan as shown below.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%94%BB%E5%83%8F:Privy_Council_%28Japan%29.jpg

The Emperor Showa held the supreme command of the whole Imperial Military as shown below in a picture taken on the Battle Ship “Musashi,” a sister ship of the world largest warship “Yamato,” both of which were equipped with the world mightiest 45cm cannons to destroy any European or American battleships before WWII.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%94%BB%E5%83%8F:Hiro-Hito_on_Musashi.jpg

The so blessed eldest son of the Emperor Showa is the present Emperor of Japan (the Emperor of the Heisei Era).

But, His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince of Japan has no sons yet but one daughter.

The younger brother of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince of Japan has a son.

This is one of the most controversial issues to the nation state of Japan.

But, Japan is not the U.K. You must not talk about the Imperial Family of Japan as if you were talking about the British Royal family one member of which was surely Princess Diana who died in Paris in 1997.

Anyway, if you are an A-student, an A-postgraduate student, an A-associate professor, or an A-professor majoring in Japanese or Japan, the above issue is the first and the last thing you have to understand in your study of Japanese and Japan.


SECTION II: JAPANESE BUDDHISM

Compared with sacred Japanese Buddhist monks who ever appeared in the Japanese history, the Dalai Lama does not look holy at all, since he was using an expensive jet plane and an expensive hotel while visiting Japan often to collect money.

Even all the Popes in Rome do not look holy at all, since they travel like a Roman Emperor and live in an expensive building keeping various works of art above price.

I can introduce here a few important Japanese Buddhist monks that established the spiritual foundation of the Japanese Civilization:

------------
Kukai
Kukai (774-835) was a Japanese Buddhist monk who founded the Shingon sect. This great scholar's activities extended beyond the domain of the purely religious, including the building of roads, irrigation canals, and temples…

This was the first attempt by a Japanese to organize the existing mass of teachings, including both Confucianism and Taoism, before proceeding to an exposé of his own sect.

The first stage is the animal life of uncontrolled passions unguided by religious ideas. Superior to it by but one step is Confucianism, which preaches secular values but is not really a religion. One step higher is Taoism (or according to some, Brahmanism), in which one aspires to heaven but remains ignorant of the nature of it. Stages four and five are two Hinayana stages, in which there is but partial understanding and where extinction in nirvana is the highest aspiration.

Kukai considered the altruism of Mahayana superior to this. The sixth stage is that of Pseudo-Mahayana, which aims at discovering the nature of existence through the investigation of its characteristics (the Hosso sect is an example). At this stage there is compassion for those still in ignorance. The seventh, eighth, and ninth stages are represented, respectively, by Sanron and its elimination of all false conceptions, the universality of Tendai (one moment contains eternity; a sesame seed may hold a mountain), and Kegon with its doctrine of interdependence and convertibility. The tenth stage of religious consciousness is, of course, Shingon and its mysteries.

http://www.answers.com/Kukai?cat=entertainment

Kūya
(903-72)
The earliest Japanese monk to spread the practice of the nembutsu, or oral invocation of the name of Amitābha Buddha, among the common people. Widely admired for his devotion to the practice and his willingness to live outside the élite circles within Buddhist temples, he became the precursor of an entire class of religious wanderers called nembutsu hijiri, or ‘wandering sages of the nembutsu’.

http://www.answers.com/topic/kuya

Ippen (Yugyō Shōnin)
(1239-89)
Founder of the Jishū (literally, ‘time school’) of Japanese Pure Land Buddhism. His sobriquet, Yugyō Shōnin, means ‘wandering holy man’, and accurately reflects his homeless lifestyle...

After that, he continued to distribute his amulets and encourage people to recite the name even if they did not believe. Ippen travelled with a group of disciples, both male and female, and they became known for their performance of the odori nembutsu, or ‘dancing nembutsu’, in which he and his followers would dance while chanting Amitābha's name. Spectators frequently reported miraculous occurrences during these performances, such as the appearance of purple flower-like clouds in the sky. Because he travelled with a mixed group, Ippen was very concerned with issues of morality, and he had his followers carry a set of blocks wherever they went, with which they would construct a wall between the men and the women at night when they slept…

http://www.answers.com/Ippen
------------

You may refer to the table of the progress of Japanese Buddhism as below shown:
http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/history/jap_timeline.htm

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

That is all for today.

But, remember that before the eras of Japanese Emperors there had been living of people on the Japanese islands for more than 35 thousand years which were not documented but are confirmed in various archaeological sites.

Also, remember that since a samurai clan established the first samurai regime in the early 12th century to control all over Japan, Japanese Emperors have virtually neither commanded military nor collected taxes on his own initiatives to date.

And, once, say around 1200 years ago, Buddhism was Japan’s national religion as Emperors believed in Buddhism though Shinto has been another national religion all time.

So, again, that is all for today.


(In Japan, these consecutive holidays from late April to early May are a time for change in climate.

It is getting warmer and warmer until the rainy season comes with June.

So under the bright sun rays, young people get well tanned.

[Give power to the Tibetan people so as to have them gain independence from China and learn Japanese Buddhism, if Olympic Games are for real held in Beijing this summer as incumbent Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Yasuo Fukuda so wishes.]

But, before you are getting high in spirit and emotion with the midday altitude of the sun getting higher, you had better listen to the sound suitable for a tranquil spring night, though I am not a Christian at all officially like Jesus Christ and his followers as they were all pure and true ancient Judaists.

When I was by chance talking, of course in Japanese in Japan, with a foreign-born young Japanese man with sufficient experiences overseas, he suddenly asked me, “You speak English, don’t you?”

However, when I was by chance talking, of course in Japanese in Japan, with a young American with some ability of speaking Japanese, he never asked me, “You speak English, don’t you?”



1. NEWS PAPER REPORTING

1.1 English Education in Japan
The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper of Japan this morning discussed the new trend in English education in Japan.

Now, more and more universities in Japan are creating chairs and giving courses where foreign professors are delivering lectures in English to ordinary students (not majoring in English literature).

English can be a tool but the native language is treasure.

But, I am afraid that unless Japanese students learn and understand European Christianity fully, their using English might result in their obtaining the second class citizenship in the U.S. where non-Christian Asians cannot be trusted ultimately.

For Your Information, the most used languages in the Internet are as follows:

No. 1…English………380 million users
No. 2…Chinese………185
No. 3…Spanish………113
No. 4…Japanese……88
No. 5…French………64
No. 6…German………62
No.7…Portuguese……51
No.8…Arabic…………46
No.9…Korean…………34

http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats7.htm

[Note: The Japanese language is only spoken in one country, Japan, unlike any other language listed above, while Korean is spoken in the whole Korean Peninsula and the boarder area of Manchu.]

Now you know why Japan and Spain must be permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

1.2 The Children's Investment Fund (TCI)

As I wrote on April 23, 2008, The Children's Investment Fund is trying to acquire a larger stake in Electric Power Development Co. that owns a significant public infrastructure in Japan.

The Yomiuri Shimbun today also presented a report on this controversial business issue from a view point as to how much strategically and socially important Japanese companies should go public with openness to foreign funds.

However it never discussed the association of TCI with the Rothschild clan.

As the major media never reveal the link of foreign financial institutes, trying to take an active part in the Japanese money market, with Rockefeller or Rothschild financial networks, some critics, such as Mr. Benjamin Fulford, seem to be getting more absorbed in conspiracy theories most of non-nonsense Japanese readers never believe but find fun or a merit in supporting such theories to make the Japanese public anti-American and thus expand their political influence.


2. JAPANESE BUREAUCRATS

2.1 Exodus From BOJ or MOF
Mr. Benjamin Fulford, a Canadian Japanese critic, recently presented his argument on the Bank of Japan (BOJ) in his Web site using Japanese.

His Japanese writing looks a little untidy, but it is very much understandable. His personality can be accepted by a majority of Japanese. And, his argument on the Bank of Japan is interesting in that he bravely pointed at the influence of the Rockefeller and Rothschild networks on BOJ.

( http://www.benjaminfulford.com/nitigindarenomono.html )

On the other hand, a major media reporter specializing in BOJ matters recently wrote in his blog that very hopeful young bureaucrats of BOJ and a certain ministry of the Japanese Government quit their jobs and took up a new career in a major law firm, respectively.

Recently, it is said that the more ambitious or material-oriented Japanese young bureaucrats are, the more likely they will change their jobs to work in foreign financial institutes in Tokyo, probably, under an influence of a Rockefeller or Rothschild network.

Nonetheless, I trust bureaucrats stubbornly honest in pursuing their career if it looks out of fashion or out of time, good or bad, so long as they have a minimum necessary amount of national pride and human pride as humble Japanese.

( http://hongokucho.exblog.jp/8421881/ )


2.2 Former Premier Mr. Koizumi’s Speech
Last November, Former Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Junichiro Koizumi visited Singapore to deliver a speech on the ongoing reformation of the Japanese Government in terms of economic and financial policies and structures.

He did this speech in English and drew enthusiastic applause.

But, the manuscript of his address was not drawn by a bureaucrat of the Japanese Government, though in most cases staff members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Japan are said to be in charge of translation work on such an occasion.

It was prepared by an American, reportedly being a friend of notable economist Mr. Heizo Takenaka, working in a branch office of a major US securities company. Therefore, Mr. Koizumi’s speech is not a product of a Japanese mind but an American mind, which however effectively appealed the audience in Singapore.

Some foreign finance companies are really gaining momentum in Tokyo along with the spread of English in business, politics, and higher education.

(http://www.nikkei.co.jp/neteye5/shimizu2/20071119neabj000_19.html )

(However, in a recent homicide case in Tokyo, a husband, an employee of a subsidiary company of that prominent US securities company, was killed and mutilated by his troubled wife, might tell something, being rooted in the paradigm of English speaking wealthy people, that can destroy virtue of Japanese mind and heart.

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

Young Japanese elite bureaucrats are usually given a chance to learn abroad at the expense of the Japanese Government. They are sent to universities in America, France, and Germany for completing a master course.

( http://www.ohmynews.co.jp/news/20070904/14735)

Of course, elites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Japan are professionals in mastering English.

But, the one Former Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Koizumi trusts is an American economist in preparing his speech in Singapore.

Yet, among hundreds of languages in the world, Japanese is the fourth major language used on the Internet due to active use of the Internet by Japanese.

It is time for Japan to request people in the world to learn Japanese more, so that Japanese former prime ministers will find more easily and conveniently translators among Americans and Europeans or in the United Nations who respect and love Japan more than a certain foreign security company in Tokyo which might be connected to the so called cold-blood Rothschild or Rockefeller network according to some critics, such as a Canadian Japanese critic making tear-provoking efforts in writing a Japanese article on the Bank of Japan.


(There is a theory that one of roots of the Japanese language is South India.

More specifically, Tamil seems to have some common words with Japanese.

This idea is not widely accepted in the academic community.

But, the ancient Indus Civilization, built by people who must have shared some linguistic traits with some ancestors of Japanese thousands of years ago, might influence Tamils now living in Mumbai and other southern Indian regions.

And, of course, a language used by ancient Israelites, say, 2000 years ago, might have an influence on some people still living around the Mediterranean.

Even the modern Latin might still embrace the trait of Aramic Jesus Christ spoke.

What do you think? Become a nun to go deep into the Vatican and find the truth of expressions used in Gospel, if you, puella or domna, so pious.)

SECTION I: SPOTLIGHT ON “BARRACK”

Now it is time to talk to supporters of Mr. Barack Hussein Obama.

As “Barrack” once spent four years going to elementary school in Indonesia, he must know that people in Indonesia, his old friends, respect Japan so much; I suppose he will listen to EEE Reporter.

So, let’s see the New York Times’ smart summary on public commitments by Mr. McCain, Mrs. Clinton, and Mr. Obama.

One important pledge by each is as follows:
Mr. McCain – Expand military ($15 billion)

Mrs. Clinton – Match savings in government-created retirement accounts ($20 - $25)

Mr. Obama – Use savings from ending Iraq War

However, New York Times smart analysis reads, “…But such savings, which Mrs. Clinton does not count on, would not immediately make their way into the Treasury, and some experts say it is not clear whether they would be sufficient to finance all the programs Mr. Obama has enumerated.”

Indeed, this may be a typical case that a smart criticism on the surface turns to be a fatal mistake later.

Without doubt, the 9/11 Terror and the collateral War on Iraq are still two major issues for the US Presidential Election. And, Mr. McCain plans to pursue the war based on the same paradigm as President Mr. Bush’s; Mrs. Clinton is trying to forget about it.

But, you have to put the end to the war being carried out along with President Mr. Bush’s paradigm he happened to grab an opportunity to materialize in the immediate wake of the 9/11 Terror.

So, Mr. Obama’s promise to use savings from ending Iraq War for domestic projects to help and save poor Americans is quite right and reasonable, deserving a spotlight in EEE Reporter.


SECTION II: HOW FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA TO END IRAQ WAR

I feel somehow uneasy though I have checked Mr. Obama’s view on the War on Iraq.

http://terrorism.about.com/od/issuestrends/a/BarackObama.htm

Nonetheless, there are of course two aspects of the War on Iraq for each point in controversy: domestic one and international one.

For Security and Defense:
Domestic aspect – It is apparent that the War in Iraq does not contribute to enhancement of security of the U.S. against Islamic terrorists, if any targeting the mainland America. US troops can be pulled out of Iraq ASAP.

International aspect – It is apparent that the existence of US troops in the Persian Gulf region does contribute to security and prosperity of rich or oil-producing Arab countries in the region. US military presence might even help Saudi Arabia and Arab countries maintain their equilibrium against the potential threat from Iran, if any even in some religious term.

For Economy:
Domestic aspect – US Defense industry and other related industries are making great profits from military procurement. Even young non-US-citizens have found a chance in US military as a path to get US citizenship and pursue American Dream. Wall Street must be another beneficiary, since the US Government defense spending is eventually settled in the money market including the New York Stock Exchange.

International aspect – There seems to be many parties concerned with the US defense spending so as to hold any sort of vested interest in maintaining the War in Iraq. Those parties must be found from the E.U. to the Arab world, and South Asia to China. They are silently supporting the War in Iraq, since the US Government is spending big money.

(In addition, the Davos Conference addicts must love to see the US Government sparing less sufficient resources for supervision of the money market; Russia must love to see the US Government sparing less sufficient resources for supervision of the energy market; and the European CO2 Mafia must also love to see any war which makes them look like a savior of the earth while establishing their hegemony over territories and new business around the CO2 and the energy sectors.)

So, President Mr. Obama must deal with these aspects and solve problems the parties wishing continuation of the War will pose to the Obama Administration.

It is not an easy task.

But, President Mr. Obama, by neglecting all those opponents, must take strong measures to put an end to the Iraqi War and pull out the substantial number of US troops from Iraq to the mainland USA, while drastically cutting the military spending during his first year of the White House, namely in 2009.

All he has to do is to request Arabs and Muslims to solve the problem in and around Iraq by themselves.

If Arabs tie up with Iran for this purpose, the Obama Administration must accept it, since there will be no oil embargo to the U.S., if Saudi Arabia and Iran align themselves with each other.

And finally, the Obama Administration may have to send a US Carrier Battle Group off the coast of Israel to calm Israelis down.


SECTION III: “BARRACK” vs. “BARRICK”

I presented the following on April 4, 2008:

----------
In this context, I am interested in Barrick Gold Corporation, the largest pure gold mining company in the world.

You can refer to the following, if you want, though I do not assure authenticity of their contents:

Barrick Gold Corporation (set up by international arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi who's first employer was the Bin Laden family and has close ties to the British throne; Barrick also employed Bush Sr.; the later discussed Rothschild buddy Vernon Jordan; and was headed by Peter Munk, a 1001 Club member and skiing partner of Prince Charles). http://www.pehi.eu/introduction.htm

Adnan Khashoggi:
a Bush-allied Saudi billionaire and arms trafficker, founder of the Barrick Gold Corp.; famous for his illegal weapons sales to Iran.

Peter Munk:
a business failure who became a protege of the British royal family, and Khashoggi's partner. Munk is chairman of Barrick Gold Corp.
http://www.afrocentricnews.com/html/bush_gang.html


“Munk is originally from an Israelite Hungarian family and now engaged with Nathaniel Philip Rothschild in developing recreational facilities in Hungary and East Europe, since East Europe is a domain of the Rothschild brand…”

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/images/4062879271/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=465392&s=books
-------

As the US President, how much can he be unswayed and untinged from these money-happy and conspiracy-happy persons?

President Barack must pursue the truth of Mr. Osama bin Laden, and further search for the truth of the Pearl Harbor Attack in 1945, the JFK’s Assassination in 1963, the Deaths of Princess Diana and JFK Jr. in late 1990’s, and the failure of the White House, Congress, CIA, FBI, and the US media, including The New York Times, in preventing the 9/11 Terror.

(Do you know howmany times the terms, "AlQaeda" and "Osama bin Laden," appeared in reports issued by US think tanks, such as CFR and former IIE, before Sept. 11, 2001?)


SECTION IV: JAPAN-US Trillion Dollar Cooperation Project

I wrote the following last Saturday:
--------
The US Government prints Japanese yen bills worth 800 trillion yen or $8 trillion and gives them to Japan.

The Japanese Government prints US dollar bills worth $9 trillion and gives them to the U.S.

This transaction will take a form of the selling and buying of citizenship entitlement authorized by each Government, so that all the Japanese have a legitimate right to live in the U.S. as US citizens and all the Americans have a legitimate right to live in Japan as Japanese citizens.

The US Government sells this right to Japan at $9 trillion (so as to earn $9 trillion and offset the deficits).

The Japanese Government sells this right to the U.S. at 800 trillion yen or $8 trillion (so as to earn 800 trillion yen and offset the deficits).
-------

If Mr. Barack Hussein OBama supports the above my idea, I really hope that he will be elected as the next US President this November.



(While women victimized by a drug disaster were going on a hunger strike in a cold night rain before a Government building in Tokyo last fall, I was worried about their health getting further deteriorated since they were conducting it already for a few days.

Then suddenly they abandoned the desperate strike and went back home, because then Prime Minister Mr. Shinozo Abe suddenly announced his will to resign due to health problems.

I also felt relieved, since those women infected by virus hidden in blood derivatives imported from the U.S. could then take a good rest.

It was truly a miracle, but it needed sudden resignation of the Japanese Prime Minister due to his physical and psychological conditions.

Now, you may wonder what drastic miracle is needed to put an end to the War in Iraq.

That is why I am telling you that you have to decide to be part of a miracle to save the $8 trillion plus $9 trillion problem, since it needs implementation of “The EEE-REPORTER’S Trillion-Dollars Initiative.”

But, don’t you know even Mrs. Obama or Mrs. Abe in the vicinity of miracles?)




Dan 4:27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

Dan 4:28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

Trillion Dollar Reporter

(Reporter milliards de dollars)


My idea is as follows:
The US Government prints Japanese yen bills worth 800 trillion yen or $8 trillion and gives them to Japan.

The Japanese Government prints US dollar bills worth $9 trillion and gives them to the U.S.

I call this scheme “The EEE-REPORTER’S Trillion-Dollars Initiative,” since …


(If you doubt, just enter “Japanese Trillion Dollar Reporter” in a key-word field of Yahoo’s Web Search.)

(As many viewers accessed Yahoo, now EEE-Reporter's position has decreased to the 22nd with the keyword; so please try, say, the AltaVista search engine to confirm it...[4/27, eer])


SECTION I: CHINA UNDER FINANCIAL IMPACT

A month ago, a Chinese investment company suffered a loss of $1.4 billion due to a decline of appraised value of its stock holding.

It is because the stocks they hold are of US Blackstone Group that recorded a loss in the fourth quarter of 2007 due to the subprime loan issue, which triggered the steep fall in its stock prices, leading to the big loss of the Chinese investment company and probably the Shanghai Stock Market.

( http://news.searchina.ne.jp/disp.cgi?y=2008&d=0314&f=business_0314_010.shtml )

US Blackstone Group, which recently established a subsidiary company in Japan, is said to be the globally largest investment company with invested assets worth almost $90 billion.

But, what is more interesting might be its founder Mr. Peter George Peterson.


SECTION II: PETER GEORGE PETERSON

If you can read Japanese, you had better refer to p.205 of the following Japanese book by Mr. Yasuhiko Nakata:

(http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/images/4062879271/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=465392&s=books )


However, Mr. Peter George Peterson is globally introduced as below:

-----------
In 1985, he co-founded the prominent private equity and investment management firm, the Blackstone Group, for which his current position is Senior Chairman.
…
Peterson has been Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations since 1985, when he took over from David Rockefeller. He also serves as Trustee of the Rockefeller family's Japan Society and the Museum of Modern Art, and was previously on the board of Rockefeller Center Properties, Inc..

He is founding Chairman of the Peterson Institute (formerly the Institute for International Economics, renamed in his honour in 2006), and a Trustee of the Committee for Economic Development. He was also Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York between 2000 and 2004.

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

So, Mr. Peterson, with mighty potential that could topple the Shanghai Stock Market, has two influential intelligent tools: Council on Foreign Relations and Peterson Institute (IIE).


SECTION III: COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS (CFR)

CFR is globally introduced as below:
-----------
Through its membership, meetings, and studies, it has been called the most powerful agent of United States foreign policy outside the State Department.

It publishes the bi-monthly journal Foreign Affairs. It has an extensive website, featuring links to its think tank, The David Rockefeller Studies Program, other programs and projects, publications, history, biographies of notable directors and other board members, corporate members, and press releases.

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


We can check one of its reports:
-------------
October 24, 2000
Future Directions for U.S. Economic Policy Toward Japan

But as-or rather if-Japan continues to open its doors to foreign direct investment, American companies are likely to have many more opportunities to foster structural changes through their ongoing operations in Japan than the American government is likely to have through bilateral negotiations.

Some in the Japanese bureaucracy welcomed foreign purchases of bad bank loans at discounted prices to ease the banking crisis. And as foreign capital was attracted for this purpose, foreign direct investment flows into Japan began to increase. Recent high-profile cases of such investment include: Ripplewood's purchase of the Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan (LTCB); Merrill Lynch's purchase of part of Yamaichi Securities; Citigroup's merger with Nikko Securities; GE Capital's investments in Japan Leasing and Toho Life Insurance; Nissan's joint venture with Renault; Cable and Wireless's acquisition of International Digital Communications (IDC); and Daimler-Chrysler's partnership with Mitsubishi Motors.

Analysts predicted that approximately one-quarter to one-third of the 106-trillion-yen maturing in the Postal Savings System over the next two years would be invested in alternative higher yield, though riskier, assets. To date, however, investors have shied away from equities, choosing to reinvest most of maturing funds in other types of accounts in the Postal Savings System or at other banks.

Foreign financial institutions are working hard to educate Japanese investors about the rates of return they can expect by investing in equities, and they hope that the need for retirement savings will entice Japanese investors to put a much larger fraction of their savings in the stock market over time. Large U.S. institutions like Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and Fidelity are using sophisticated advertising, including weekly television shows, to attract Japanese investors.

http://www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/Economic_Policy_Toward_Japan.pdf
-------------

CFR is busy trying to help US financial institutes grab a big profit in the Japanese money market in the manner even the US Government would hesitate to take.

One of strong criticisms against the former Koizumi Administration is that then Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi took too drastic and strong measures in privatizing the Japanese Postal Saving System with help of a notable economist, Mr. Heizo Takenaka who was appointed to a Minister of the Cabinet for this purpose.

Mr. Heizo Takenaka is said to have once worked in IIE, namely, the Peterson Institute.


SECTION IV: PETERSON INSTITUTE (IIE)

Peterson Institute is globally introduced as below:
-----------
The institute chairman is the chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations and former United States Secretary of Commerce, Peter G.Peterson…
Other prominent members of the institute's board of directors include:
…
Paul O'Neill, former United States Secretary of the Treasury;

David Rockefeller, former chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank;

Lawrence Summers, former United States Secretary of the Treasury;

Paul Volcker, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve;
…
Fred Bergsten (Director),
…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterson_Institute

We can check one of its reports:
-------------
October 10, 2007

Recent Financial Disturbances and Risks to
the Outlook Beyond the United States
…
Japan: Taking it in stride (for a change)
• Thanks to Takenaka and foreign investors, the core
banking system is well-capitalized

• The financial system is increasingly diversified
– Though more for corporate than household borrowers

• BOJ and FSA may want to be moralistic hazards, but
political and economic constraints will prevent them
…

Bottom Line For The Outlook:
Be concerned about European financial risks
• Though the shock originated in the US, the financial and
supervisory structure in the Eurozone is more fragile

• The current recovery is not a robust buffer
– German and Italian recoveries are not sustainable
– British, Irish, and Spanish real estate bubbles are significant

• The ECB’s willingness and room to act will prevent a
persistent downturn from financial troubles, but not some firstround
drag or supervisory problems from local real estate

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

To your astonishment, just several months ago, they did not use the term “subprime loan trillion dollar crisis.”

As early in April IMF presented estimation of a total loss related to subprime loan problem to reach $1 trillion, this Peterson Institute’s report looks very strange.

That is why I am telling you that you should not think American elites to be very smart, though famous Japanese economist Mr. Takenaka, reportedly having well practiced his English and knowledge of accounting in the Peterson Institute, also failed in predicting this subprime-loan triggered crisis as he looked so on his TV appearance in the Japan's popular Sunday morning interview program Mr. Soichiro Tawara moderates.


SECTION V: JAPAN-US TRILLION DOLLAR COOPERATION PROJECT

Now, you may come to like to listen to my proposal on the Japan-US Trillion Dollar Mutual Cooperation.

It is to conquer the potential global great depression which could be triggered by $9 trillion deficits in the U.S. and $8 trillion deficits in Japan as I wrote yesterday.

My idea is as follows:
The US Government prints Japanese yen bills worth 800 trillion yen or $8 trillion and gives them to Japan.

The Japanese Government prints US dollar bills worth $9 trillion and gives them to the U.S.

This transaction will take a form of the selling and buying of citizenship entitlement authorized by each Government, so that all the Japanese have a legitimate right to live in the U.S. as US citizens and all the Americans have a legitimate right to live in Japan as Japanese citizens.

The US Government sells this right to Japan at $9 trillion (so as to earn $9 trillion and offset the deficits).

The Japanese Government sells this right to the U.S. at 800 trillion yen or $8 trillion (so as to earn 800 trillion yen and offset the deficits).

Concrete and detailed contents of this “nationality transaction” will be probably defined by CFR, Peterson Institute (IIE), and Japan’s Ministry of Finance.

But, there might be a need to establish a new financial federal system between Japan and the U.S.

Or, we may adopt a secret code for this project, until it is officially introduced to the world, such as “The EEE-REPORTER’S Trillion-Dollars Initiative.”

My request for royalty of the use of the term “EEE-REPORTER” is very humble.

One percent of one percent of $8 trillion plus $9 trillion is, for example, just $1,700,000,000, since $17 trillion is 17,000,000,000,000.



(Joking apart, though you may hate to leave, today a big May Day meeting is being held in Japan.

It is time to sit down and think about a non-nonsense issue, namely US $9 trillion national debt problem and Japan’s $8 trillion national debt problem, since I have a feeling that God has requested me to be in charge though not for a tiny reward such as $1.7 billion…

Forget about it, since it is just $1.7 billion…

So, good girls and Mlles., forget about it, just $1.7...my breakfast...O Lord!


[Listen to the one before I am sniped at, since it is a matter of ten quadrillions if there found is love beyond reasonable doubt:

JAPAN-US Trillion Dollar Cooperation Project

JAPAN-US Trillion Dollar Cooperation Project

(JAPON-Amérique milliards de dollars de projets de coopération)



Japan is the only country in the world, except China, that has $1 trillion foreign reserves.

(Japan has the external net assets reaching $2.1 trillion, as of the end of 2006, which is the world largest as Japan has secured this No.1 position for 16 consecutive years since 1991.

Japan’s foreign asset balance is about $5.5 trillion based on a dollar as 100 yen.

( http://www.chosunonline.com/article/20070526000003))

So, it is natural that the exchange rate against dollar gets stronger.

However, it is well known that for so many years or two decades the yen has been appraised lower except in a limited exceptional period.

And, Japanese export has been supported by this exchange rate or the weaker yen favorable for Japanese manufacturers.

But, the success of Japanese products in the global competition, of course, lies in its quality.

The weaker yen together with higher quality of Japanese products eventually has produced $1 trillion surplus in international accounts.

It also means too much reliance on foreign demand rather than on domestic demand.

By putting them in order, we may get the following explanation:

(1) The Japanese consumers come to buy less, especially compared with Americans, though their living space is full of home electric appliances and other humble commodities made in China, thus restricting growth of domestic need.

(2) The need for export gets stronger for survival of companies...

(3) Quality and technical sophistication of products have been further enhanced.

(4) The exchange rate or the value of the yen is set intentionally weaker.

(5) Export and foreign demand have become key factors to bolstering Japanese economy.

And, as I once mentioned,
(0) The Japanese land and its nature cannot accept any more development and destruction caused by industrial activities and people’s greed, so that the Japanese spirits have worked on people’s minds to stop their material desire-driven economic activities as much as possible, resulting in spending downturn after the burst of the bubble economy.

So, it is not CO2 but the whole nature that we should focus on in curbing consumption of crude oil, coal, natural gas, and other fossil energy, though Japanese industry has now the most advanced energy-saving technology in the world which the EU does not like to humbly and heartily admire for some reasons.

Anyway, we can logically analyze and trace the economy in a given time window by correctly taking in consideration the nature of human beings.

***********

As I wrote yesterday Japan has 8 trillion dollars national debt and the U.S. had 9 trillion dollars national debt, Japan and the U.S. must together take measures to avoid the possible global great depression.

And, just refer to a certain opinion on the state of pre-crisis in the U.S.:
----------
America’s $9.3-trillion-and-growing national debt rightly has been blamed for many economic ills that lurk on our nation’s horizon, but it also had the stealth effect of further eroding Americans’ waning belief in the benefits, efficacy, and trustworthiness of government. many other, oft-mentioned factors – Vietnam, Watergate, anti-government rhetoric, and a 24/7 cycle of Washington scandals and blunders – have played a huge role in turning post-World War II pride in our government to present-day disdain for it.
….
Opinion research by Public Agenda and others has found the public to be livid about Washington leaders so unaccountable and irresponsible
…
Financial mismanagement and lying, indeed, go a long way toward diminishing public esteem for political leaders. But that is only part of the story.

The major drivers of growing national debt, aside from arguably too low taxes on some, are the voracious appetite of entitlement programs and interest on the debt itself. Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, and smaller entitlement programs, plus interest payments account for about 63 percent of federal spending, up from 33 percent 40 years ago. In a Newtonian budgetary world of equal and opposite actions, as such mandatory spending has soared since the 1960s, discretionary spending — what Congress and the President actually have control over – comparatively has wilted like an unwatered plant.
…
Thus, as a “tsunami” of debt threatens to sink our economy and government, that same tsunami is also feeding a rising sea tide of cynicism and mistrust of America’s central democratic institutions. If leaders and government are to be respected again, a big part of the solution lies with fiscal reform and debt reduction.

Andrew Yarrow is Washington director and vice president of Public Agenda.

----------

As US citizens proved that they could not even coolly and effectively judge and act in the wake of the 9/11 Terror in 2001, compared to the level and standard of the school of Sun Tzu, a notable ancient strategist, I do not expect Americans can solve the problem alone.

They need help from, say, Japan.

But, as I mentioned above, Japan needs cooperation with the U.S. to fix its economic problem.

The two countries have a trillion dollar scale problem, respectively.

So, mutual efforts worth trillion dollars are needed.


(But, of course, it is Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution that has allowed Japan to concentrate resources, namely excellent and diligent workers, on the industry of every size and government office central and local, and eventually win esteem from the world, including American consumers.

Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution is worth thousands of trillion dollars, though your love to Japan might be worth Mt. Fuji or a Cherry blossom.

CHAPTER II. RENUNCIATION OF WAR
　　　Article 9. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes.
　　　In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized. )

Indeed, my teaching to soldiers is that the best way to get prepared for war is to renounce the war.

Truly, you had better listen to a peaceful sound in between calmness and a clash, since we may leave today forever at ease like one who has no tomorrow...

The Enemy, US Middle Class?

(The Tokyo Bay and a TV Station)



The Enemy, US Middle Class?

(La classe moyenne américaine est l'ennemi)


Roughly speaking and taking into consideration a recent trend of the weakened dollar, we may be allowed to assume the following:

- The US labor population is 150 million and its GDP is $10 trillion.

- Japan’s labor population is 70 million and its GDP is $5 trillion.

The ratio is almost 2 to 1 between the world No.1 economic power and No.2., though the population ratio is 2.5 to 1 and the land size parity is 24 to 1, which means Japanese are more diligent and smarter, to your surprise.

(So, the EEE Reporter must be Japanese.)

But, there is another hidden great disparity between Japan and the U.S., which is on charity, though it is a reflection of difference in traditional practices for mutual aid, since Japan itself can be regarded as a big farm village where the Christian concept of charity is not fit.

And, also, the exceptional emerging economy China must be another focus in discussing how to avoid future Great Global Depression, which would blow off significance of every argument about the War on Terror, since the concept of mutual aide is so different between Japan and China, almost desperately.

Yet, the key is charity, since it can lead to a US Religious Revolution which would save the world.



SECTION I: Master Sun-Tzu, President Hu and Bush

In 2006, when China's President Mr. Hu Jintao visited the White House, he presented President Mr. George W. Bush with the book, The Art of War, ancient Chinese strategist Sun Tzu wrote in the 5th century B.C.

I do not feel that Mr. Hu respects Mr. Bush. Mr. Bush should have immediately presented Mr. Hu with the Bible of the King James Version.

It is because,
"Master Sun said:
"Intelligence is of the essence in warfare.
It is what the armies depend upon in their every move."

It is also because the U.S. leads China in terms of charity.

Say “charity” to Chinese leaders, you will see how they will be embarrassed.

Moreover, China's President Mr. Hu Jintao had reportedly built his career through his suppression of Tibetans. But, it is Mr. Hu that should learn the work of Sun Tzu from its preface.
“The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler,
so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.”

Indeed, for Tibetans, there is no moral law in dominance of irreligionists, namely Chinese communists. Therefore, unlike Manchus, Tibetans cannot be absorbed by Han people.

And, the truth of Sun Tzu’s mind is hatred to war, since he wrote:
“All warfare is based on deception.”

http://www.chinapage.com/sunzi-e.html

This is the essence of Sun Tzu’s teaching. Therefore, you may apply his teaching to anything but war, very ironically, since Sun Tzu must have wished that every greedy king and general promoting war would be punished by Heaven, in my humble view.


SECTION II: TAX vs. CHARITY

Charity is, unlike warfare, not based on deception. Therefore, Sun Tzu would not hate it. Then we can apply his teaching to charity:
“The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler,
so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.”

The US budget revenue in 2004 is $1880 billion.

The Total charitable giving by Americans in 2005 is estimated to have been $260 billion, an increase of 2.7 percent (when adjusted for inflation) over 2004

As the US working population is 147 million in 2004, every worker can be regarded as having paid 12,800 dollars for tax and having offered 1,800 dollars for charity.

This is great, since it matches the principle of tithe.

America can be still saved by holy teaching endowed them with by Jesus Christ.

To put an end to the War on Terror, American people should give charity money to poor Muslims, say, in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

If each of 147 million American workers offers 1,800 dollars per year to them as charity, 147 million poor Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan will receive 1,800 dollars per capita per year.

This is the right way to win the War on Terror and introduce true Democracy in Islamic countries.


SECTION III: US Charity Statistics

The following are excerpts from a certain charity-related Web site which, I suppose, are interesting when considering a possibility of a US Religious Revolution:

http://www.generousgiving.org/page.asp?sec=4&page=161#300

- Disaster Relief: Americans gave an estimated $7.37 billion for disaster relief in 2005: $5.3 billion for Hurricane Katrina, $1.92 billion for the Tsunami relief, and $0.15 billion for the India-Pakistan earthquake relief.

- Giving to Religious Groups: Americans gave an estimated $93.18 billion to religious organizations in 2005, an increase of 2.5 percent (when adjusted for inflation).

- Giving to Human Services: Americans gave $25.36 billion to human services in 2005, an increase of 28% (when adjusted for inflation).

- Average Annual Giving: On average, wealthy Americans (annual income of $150,000 or more) give away 1.9 percent of their annual income.

- Under $300,000: American families making under $300,000 a year give away roughly 2.3 percent of their incomes.

- Over $300,000: American families making over $300,000 a year give away roughly 4.4 percent of their incomes.

- Giving by Class: The two groups in the United States that give the highest percentages of their income are the poor (those making less than $20,000 per year) and the rich (those making more than $100,000 per year). Middle-class Americans (those making between $40,000 and $100,000 per year) are the smallest percentage givers.

- Christian Wealth and World Poverty: On average, American Christians enjoy an annual household income of $42,409, while 1.2 billion of the world's poorest people must survive on $1 a day.

- Christians Not Giving: Among adults who attend church regularly, (an average of a least once a month), 37 percent did not give any money to a church in 1996.

- The Great Depression and Today: In 1933, the worst year of the Great Depression, per capita income was at the lowest point it would reach between 1921 and 2000, whether measured in current or inflation-adjusted dollars. Yet per member giving among the 11 primary Protestant denominations (or their historical antecedents) in the United States and Canada as a percentage of income was 3.3 percent. In all the prosperity of 2000, per member giving was only 2.6 percent.
...


So, poor Americans should turn to God, Jesus Christ, and other poor people instead to conventional religious organizations and religions, in order to make their charity based on love to the poor more sacred.

That is a key to solution to the War on Terror, expected US economic slump, and so on.



(Another book I bought the other day is the one written by Mr. Kenji Mizutani.

http://www.tokyo-fukushi.ac.jp/english/kantou_ichiran/syousai/mizutani.html )

A decade ago or so, he was a kind of regular commentator in a late-night business reporting TV program called World Business Satellite broadcast by Television Tokyo Channel 12.

I may refer to his warning on Japanese economy soon, since US public debt is $9 trillion and Japan’s is $8 trillion.

You had better invite non-nonsense economist to a TV studio or a congressional official building even to secure your investment, if not yet decided to follow teaching of Jesus Christ or the path for Buddha’s enlightenment…)


Dan 4:24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:



　

Neither Blood Nor Tears in Heaven (Livedoor & Rothschild)

(unforgotten road-side stone monuments in Japan)



Neither Blood Nor Tears in Heaven

(Il n'ya ni sang ni larmes dans le ciel)



I bought two books yesterday.

It cost me 2,430 yen including tax.

However, one of them was priced at 514 yen (five dollars), though it might have triggered the downfall of the Cabinet if written in a different way in case that Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda should have made a wrong decision on it…


SECTION I: Fibrinogen vs. Livedoor

On the eighth floor of a department store, the book I had been long looking for was at last spotted, being hidden at the remote row behind various books laid on a small display counter at the foot of one of hundreds of shelves.

It was written by a TV-station program director to report the proceeding of lawsuits on the drug-induced sufferings recently spotlighted in Japan. It was so spotlighted since it requested Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda’s decision to officially recognize the Government responsibility and decide a concrete measure to save victims.

One interesting thing is that hundreds of thousands of victims might have been completely left neglected by the society and the Government unless one young staff member of the TV station had proposed in a meeting a strategy to focus on fibrinogen in pursuing responsibility of pharmaceutical companies and the Government.

Among several blood products that posed the danger of infection, they had wisely selected one right brand, Fibrinogen, (and virtually another, Christmassin) so effectively to make the matter understandable to the public, which turned out to be a key to success in court, thus winning the largest drug-disaster case in the Japanese history.

Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda might have become a king who had no clothes on if he had failed in recognizing the broadening of criticism to the Government.

And, more importantly, if the Fuji Television Network had been taken over by the then young president of Livedoor a few years ago through stock purchase being supported by a US security company under control of Rockefeller (and Japanese gangsters behind the scene), hundreds of thousands of victims of contaminated fibrinogen must have been neglected, since the then young president once said that he had no intention to serve a public interest.

So, the victims of the medical scandal must be thankful to those concerned with efforts to prevent the taking over of the Fuji TV by Livedoor a few years ago.

In addition, I have a feeling that the then young president of Livedoor must have wanted to justifiably access a certain female announcer of the TV station, since once top three of the most popular female announcers in Japan all belonged to the TV station.

(And some reporter of a newspaper company or other media must have inspired the young president of Livedoor with the idea of taking over the TV station through stock purchase, probably because the TV station building on the Tokyo Bay looked so fancy to the Media gangs, though the young president was indicted on charge of illegal transactions of stocks and driven out of Livedoor, still contending in court…)


SECTION II: Rothschild vs. Japan

One of interesting business reports recently issued by the Media in Japan is a decision by a Japanese Government panel to reject The Children's Investment Fund’s (TCI’s) acquiring of a larger stake in Electric Power Development Co. that owns a significant public infrastructure in Japan.

------
September 19, 2007

TCI's other campaigns have had mixed success. The hedge fund drove Mittal Steel Co., the world's largest steel maker by output, to pay $2 billion more than it planned to shareholders of the Brazilian unit of a company Mittal had agreed to take over in June. But this year TCI lost a public fight to force Electric Power Development Co. of Japan to pay a big dividend as the former government-owned company marshaled support from establishment shareholders.
…

Mr. Hohn has also tapped an influential acquaintance: Lord Jacob Rothschild, a London businessman from the famed European banking dynasty. Lord Rothschild's investment company or his family have put money into both Parvus and TCI. Lord Rothschild calls Mr. Hohn a "harsh and brilliant critic." He says, "We heard about Parvus through TCI. We have him to thank for that."

In January 2005, Mr. Hohn started his first big public fight: trying to force Deutsche Börse to drop its $2.46 billion offer to buy London Stock Exchange PLC. Mr. Hohn thought Deutsche Börse was overpaying. By the end of February, TCI had acquired at least a 5% stake in Deutsche Börse.

Following the TCI move, a New York hedge fund in which Lord Rothschild's son is a partner chimed in with its own public protests. Around the same time, Lord Rothschild's fund, of which Mr. Hohn was later named a director, acquired a stake of about £31 million, or about $62 million, in Deutsche Börse, according to that fund's annual report.

A spokesman for the son's fund, called Atticus, said in an emailed statement that the fund makes "independent investment decisions." Lord Rothschild says his fund acted independently of both Atticus and TCI.

The pressure worked. After months of trying to fend off the hedge-fund campaigns, Deutsche Börse Chief Executive Werner Seifert withdrew his offer.

However, Japanese newspapers avoid mentioning the background of TCI.

But, why must the Japanese media avoid mentioning any deeds by, or connections with, Rothschild or Rockefeller?

Is it because Rothschild and Rockefeller are a kind of friends of the Imperial Family?

The Japanese media should remember the Death of Princess Diana, since she had a close tie with Rothschild and Rockefeller.

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

Now, NHK TV’s noon news program reported that “Hillary” got 54% and “Obama” got 46% in the Pennsylvania primary.

This phenomenon of a female President candidate and an African-American candidate has also an influence on Japan.

Japanese voters may all the more come to vote for unique candidates in elections for whom they would never vote before, though Japan has already some unique Governors in Prefectures, such as a former TV comedian, Sonomanma-Higashi (now called Governor Mr. Higashikokubara of Miyazaki).

Indeed, we may have a Diet lawmaker being an ex-Fibrinogen-induced disaster victim so recovered or an ex-Rothschild-controlled-fund’s manager so repenting.

In fact, blood and money are two important elements in many episodes the Gospel depicts.

A miracle should really work on incidents related to blood and money.

But, how many poor Americans and Japanese will believe if EEE Reporter is so involved there?



(I think sometimes that certain people die for me if not logically linked to my existence in this world.

In turn, I may be living poor for certain people.

But, I have never thought any intangible or tangible connections possible between followers of Jesus or the Buddha and those super-rich people who can even deal with Royal or Imperial assets.

Nonetheless, do you feel that you have such a bond beyond any rational explanation?

So, the religion must teach that a tie based on blood or a relation drawing tears is only restricted in the human world...since money goes to the hell and the love goes to Heaven under protection of Angels...)
