How Empires Were Built (Comment ont été construits empires?)

Turning the potential disaster to one's advantage is a proverb often found in many countries.

It can apply to an individual but also to a nation.

After the collapse of the Roman Empire, there were only two great empires in the world long in the subsequent history of the world: India and China.

But, China could not colonize Siberia and Russia while India was vastly colonized by one European nation, Great Britain. We had better review some concerning them, since China and India are now potentially rising economic powers in the world.


SECTION I: Siberia

Siberia is from an old kingdom situated in the east of Ural Mountains.

The Khanate of Sibir was a Tatar Turkic khanate in Siberia, just east of the middle Urals. The Khanate had an ethnically diverse population of Siberian Tatars, Khanty, Mansi, Nenets and Selkup people. Along with the Khanate of Kazan it was the northernmost Muslim state. It was also the second northernmost Turkic state after the Yakuts. Its conquest by Ermak in 1582 was the beginning of the Russian conquest of Siberia.

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

What made it possible for Russia to conquer Siberia is its application of fire arms. Especially, artillery guns of the Russian Empire exercised their power on native tribes in Siberia. However Mongolians had long enjoyed superiority in the west of Siberia. Fire arms and saltpeter were originally invented and put into application in China around the 10th century. Then why would not Mongolians, or descendants of Genghis Khan, equip themselves with fire arms to cope with Russians?

If Mongolians had upgraded their arms, Russians could not have conquered Siberia. But why would they not?

It is because they had had excellent arms of special bows and arrows. Their bows and arrows were suitable for use on horseback. The arms had once enabled the great conquest by Mongolians and Genghis Khan before the emergence of Russians with fire arms.

Accordingly, Russians have relied on cannons, artillery guns, and rockets and missiles even to date, while occupying the southern Kuril Islands, which legitimately belong to Japan, since the end of WWII.

Anyway, the historical fact that Russians having been put under Mongolian power for centuries came to outdo and eclipse Mongolians is one example that making up for one's shortcomings promises a great success against enemies who had more advantage. By adopting fire arms or harquebuses, Russians won Mongolians with old, though excellent, bows and rows only.

Mongolians attached their minds consistently to horse riding and arrowing technique, while fire arms or matchlocks at the time were not suitable for such a way of fight.


SECTION II: India

What made Great Britain a richer nation was India.

Without making India its colony, the higher living standards the British people today enjoy should be impossible. Then, the United States should have been gravely influenced due to less financial and business resources available from England for its material success.

But, how did the U.K. conquer India which then included today's Pakistan and Bangladesh?

The Battle of Plassey, 23 June 1757, was a decisive British East India Company victory over the Nawab of Bengal and his French allies, establishing Company rule in South Asia which expanded over much of the Indies for the next hundred years. The battle took place at Palashi, Bengal, on the river banks of the Bhagirathi River, about 150 km north of Calcutta, near Murshidabad, then capital of undivided Bengal. The belligerents were Siraj-ud-daulah, the last independent Nawab of Bengal, and the British East India Company.
...
As a result of the battle of Plassey, the French were no longer a significant force in Bengal. In 1759, the British defeated a larger French garrison at Masulipatam, securing the Northern Circars. By 1759, Mir Jafar felt that his position as a subordinate to the British could not be tolerated. He started encouraging the Dutch to advance against the British and eject them from Bengal. In late 1759, the Dutch sent seven large ships and 1400 men from Java to Bengal under the pretext of reinforcing their Bengal settlement of Chinsura even though Britain and Holland were not officially at war. Clive, however, initiated immediate offensive operations by land and sea and defeated the much larger Dutch force on 25 November 1759 in the Battle of Chinsura. The British then deposed Mir Jafar and installed Mir Qasim as the Nawab of Bengal. The British were now the paramount European power in Bengal. When Clive returned to England due to ill-health, he was rewarded with an Irish peerage, as Lord Clive, Baron of Plassey and also obtained a seat in the English House of Commons...

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

The U.K. did not launch major wars against Indians to invade India war after war against native kingdoms, tribes, and people. But, it defeated France and the Netherlands by force to secure a monopolized position to handle India politically and economically. These wars displayed its military power to Indians, but the U.K. adopted more sophisticated strategy to overwhelm anti-British camps in India.

The U.K. first established friendly relationships with local kings in India and then made them at feud against one another. The British rulers also leveraged the discriminatory social system in India. They abused the class divide in the Indian society. They rather controlled the Indian society by guile. As there were no rival European forces, the British way penetrated without check. Indians could not see through British malicious intent, since they had no other Europeans to consult.

But, where did they get such craft? How could they handle so easily Indians who had long civilized history.

Season of Politics (Saison de la politique)

Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan met Former PM Mr. Yukio Hatoyama this morning before voting of a non-confidence motion in the Diet, and eventually secured support from Mr. Hatoyama. PM Mr. Kan promised, according to Mr. Hatoyama, that he would step down when disaster recovery laws and the second supplementary budget were passed or prepared (probably in late June or July). But, after rejecting the motion, PM Kan said that he would continue his premiership till Fukushima nuclear reactors get stabilized at low temperature (probably taking a year or so).

Today, without support from lawmakers who belong to the Hatoyama Group and Ozawa Group, PM Mr. Kan should have lost premiership as the non-confidence motion must have been passed. But, after today's voting in the Lower House, he seemed to change the promise regardless of expectations from not only Mr. Hatoyama and Mr. Ichiro Ozawa but also the opposition LDP.


SECTION I: 2012 Presidential Election

Will President Mr. Barack Obama's success in the War on Osama bin Laden lead to his reelection in 2012 eventually?

Or, should President Mr. Barack Obama be reelected for justice, peace, and the American Dream?

First of all, we have to understand what made it possible, the first African American President in the United States.

So, let's confirm what put an end to the fame of Former President Mr. George W. Bush.

Now it is clear that the Bush family had strong business associations with the bin Laden family. Accordingly, the Bush Administration did not honestly and fully pursue Osama bin Laden. Instead, it tried to turn Americans' eyes away from Osama bin Laden to Saddam Hussein.

The then President Mr. George W. Bush did not try to arrest or capture Osama bin Laden at any costs but try to take on his father's enemy the then Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The then President Mr. George W. Bush put more priority on his family business rather than on Americans' priority.

As President Mr. Obama could take on Osama bin Laden just in two years in his presidency, Mr. George W. Bush could have driven Osama bin Laden to the corner and captured him within 2001 or in two years after September 11, 2001. But Mr. Bush would not. Instead of further deploying necessary troops at the border to Pakistan and launching joint military operation with Pakistan to capture Osama bin Laden, he mobilized hundreds of thousands of American troops for invasion of Iraq.

Put simply, Former President Mr. George W. Bush protected the son of the clan he befriended. He did not request the Congress, CIA, FBI, and the American Media to pursue the Saudi Arabian connection of Osama bin Laden. It is an bogus operation, the War in Iraq. Mr. Bush did not show any strong enthusiasm in chasing Osama bin Laden. And, the Republican Party supported fully Mr. George W. Bush, authorizing the big war budget. But, the Obama Administration could take on Osama bin Laden hiding near the capital of Pakistan with a minimum of costs: scores of special troops and a few helicopters.

To take on the biggest enemy of America, the U.S. had to undergo the ENRON scandal, the subprime-loan crimes, and the 2008 financial crisis so as to choose Mr. Barack Obama as new president.

Has Republicans fully reflected on their past conducts?

It will decide the case of the 2012 Presidential Election, since Republicans supported Former President Mr. George W. Bush who virtually helped Osama bin Laden flee and survive in safety while also helping ENRON, the sub-prime loan business, and Wall Street tricks.


(As the American Government allowed Osama bin Laden, the biggest enemy of America, to flee from Afghanistan to Pakistan, it is no wonder at all that the British Government would not protect Princess Diana. )


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

When Mr. George W. Bush was president, Japan was led by the conservative LDP.

But along with the start of presidency of Mr. Barack Obama, Japan also changed the power balance to assign a ruling position to the pro-Korean/Chinese Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ). Both in America and Japan, democratic and liberal party took power almost at the same time.

However, though President Mr. Obama pushed forward healthcare innovation and took on Osama bin Laden, Former PM Mr. Hatoyama of the DPJ failed in fixing the US Marines' Futenma base relocation issue and PM Mr. Kan of the DPJ failed in early fixing the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.

Therefore, Mr. Obama has now a strong chance for reelection, but in Japan the DPJ will most probably lose the next general election.

In either case, democracy should be advanced more among both the peoples, since even Islamic nations are going for democracy nowadays.

Marvel of Nature and Radiation (Merveille de la nature et de rayonnement)

Today, a no-confidence motion against the Kan Cabinet was filed in the Lower House of the Japan's National Diet.

Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan faces a strong criticism from President of the LDP Mr. Sadakazu Tanigaki who has challenged the prime minister. Mr. Tanigaki's motion will be put to a vote in the Lower House tomorrow.

Indeed, in Japan it is very simple to replace the prime minister. Filing a no-confidence motion against the Cabinet in the Lower House and have it passed with a majority of ballots. Then, the incumbent prime minister is forced to step down or allowed to dissolve the Lower House into a snap election, according to the Constitution.


SECTION I: Daily Newspaper Radiation Report

Japanese newspapers post a radiation measurement report everyday as below shown.

(The Asahi Shimbun Newspaper; Click to enlarge.)

Like weather forecasts, they present a radiation dose report on various locations everyday. It is crazy, but it is reality.

However, people can confirm that their places are safe except some areas around Fukushima Daiichi. Tokyo and other big cities are all safe. Even Fukushima City shows just 1.36 micro sieverts per hour, which is 12 milli sieverts per year, though it is said that one of 180 10-years old children could suffer cancer in future if they receive 20 milli sieverts of radiation for a year. Tokyo radiation dose is 1/22 of Fukushima City's, which is almost the same as New York's.



SECTION II: Westerlies

It is said that the wind blowing high in the air called Westerlies starts to snake its way when the gap between the temperature in the polar zone and the equatorial area gets bigger.

(http://www.cokbee.com/weather/jet.htm)

As the occurrence of a lot of tornadoes in North America tells, the global warming trend in these years has heated the sea around the equatorial line to an alarming level. Temperature of the oceans and the sky in the the equatorial area must continue to be comparatively high for some time. But, as the occurrence of a lot of tornadoes in North America also tells, atmosphere over the polar zone is cool enough or maybe is getting cooler to match the heated air mass in the southern zones.

Accordingly, a clear state of meandering is observed with Westerlies. Specifically, the winter Westerlies are over Japan down in the southern sky, and the summer Westerlies are over Japan up in the northern sky.

If a mini ice age is starting on the globe, the temperature gap between the north and the south will get more intensified with the Westerlies showing more meandering. If so, not only Japan but also Western Europe and North America will be situated in the north of the Westerlies to get cooler air from the polar zone.

Conversely, the strong meandering of the Westerlies can be regarded as a sign of the coming of a mini ice age.

Yet, nuclear power plants are not welcomed. We have to find safer fuel for electricity generation.

On March 11, 2011, an M9.0 earthquake and a 15-meter high tsunami hit the Fukuhima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

On March 12, the No.1 reactor unit exploded in the afternoon, destroying the upper part of the housing building due to hydrogen gas emitted along with meltdown of nuclear fuel, while PM Mr. Kan visited the Fukushima plant in the morning.

On March 15, the No.2 reactor unit exploded in the morning, destroying part of the suppression pool probably due to hydrogen gas leaked to the pool under the pressure vessel along with meltdown of nuclear fuel, while PM Mr. Kan visited and stayed in the head office of Tokyo Electric Power Company to pressure TEPCO executives into following his instruction which was however vague and untechnical but mostly political. Experts says that the meltdown in the No.2 reactor unit occurred in the evening of March 14, though PM Mr. Kan did not take any measures to prevent the explosion if he had obtained information about the unit.

So, some people and politicians think that the series of explosions of the reactor units of Fukushima Daiichi is man-made or concretely triggered by the prime minister himself.

Reactor Unit....Meltdown Time after the M9.0 Earthquake
------------------------------------------------
No.1...16 hours
No.2...101 hours
No.3...60 hours

For detailed situation of each unit, refer to the following: http://eereporter.blogspot.com/2011/05/blog-post_29.html

Anyway an investigation team from IAEA has completed their work in Tokyo and Fukushima Daiichi. They will issue a full report sooner or later as they go back to Europe.

History for God or Men? (Histoire de Dieu ou populaire?)

The answer is that a man lives his life not for himself but for the God.

It is not his own happiness but happiness of the God that he must make efforts to achieve.

It is not a man himself that gave life to himself but the God that gave life to a man to which He would put an end at His discretion.

Indeed, studying history does not make a man happy. (So, rich men do not love history.)


SECTION I: 5 Bi-Millennium History

We may start our history from the age of 8000 years ago.

(Click to enlarge.)

Or, there were 4000 years before Abraham came to exist after the start of use of copper or metal.

And, there were 4000 years before we have come to exist after the start of Abraham's religion.

Finally, what of today will be the start of the next 4000 years in the human history?

I hope it will be the coming of the Kingdom of God.


SECTION II: History of Europe for the Last 10,000 Years

Palestine was more advanced than Europe and even Egypt in terms of agriculture around 10,000 years ago.

When the Sumerian Civilization was growing in Mesopotamia, hundreds years before Abraham, ancestors of Iranians, Greeks, and Italians came to emerge in East Europe. Palestine was then occupied by Old Egyptian Kingdom.

Yet, it is in Fertile Crescent that first copper age started in the human history 8000 years ago.


SECTION III: God's Choice

From 6000 BC till 4000 BC, there were many regions in the West Half of the Earth with a possibility to be chosen by the God. But, the God took Mesopotamia finally when these 2000 years passed.

From 4000 BC till 2000 BC, there were many persons in Mesopotamia with a possibility to be chosen by the God. But, the God took Abraham finally when these 2000 years passed.

From 2000 BC till AD 1, there were many occasions in Judea on which the God might have sent His Son. But, the God finally took the timing 30 years after the death of Cleopatra, a kind of ancient Greeks, in Egypt and selected the place of Bethlehem around Jerusalem.

Eventually, from AD 1 to 2001, there were so many nations in the world that the God might have chosen as the leading symbol for the next 2000 years. The 9/11 Terror of 2001 might suggest that it is the U.S. But, the 3/11 Disaster seems to suggest that it is Japan.


SECTION IV: 8000 Years Ago in Japan

It is said at the time, namely 8000 years ago, Japan was divided into the south half and the north half, around Mt. Fuji on Honshu Island.

It is estimated that 17,300 people lived in the northern half and 2,800 in the southern half. The former were descendants of migrants having come from as far as Lake Baikal in Siberia, and the latter were descendants of migrants from North China. They used unique types of earthenware, respectively.

Now, in Fukushima Daiichi, 2000 workers are engaged everyday in recovery work of the crippled nuclear plant.

But, it is suspected that some of them have already suffered strong internal exposure to radiation.

The Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry of Japan set a yearly dose limit at 50 milli sieverts for workers in Fukushima Daiichi. But, now the Ministry has reportedly abolished this limit. However, it has set the dose limit at total 100 milli sieverts in five years.

In the case of Chernobyl, residents living 15 to 20 km far from the blasted nuclear reactor received 52 milli sieverts of radiation.

TEPCO has started to provide live pictures of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (illuminated in the night).

Unknown Facts around the 3/11 Disaster (Des faits inconnus autour de la catastrophe de 3 / 11)

The total cash all the Japanese enterprises have inside reached almost $900 billion.

Probably, they have not many promising investment targets in these years. But, they can invest into the 3/11 Disaster hit northeast Japan. That is why experts in the world do not have a gloom and doom forecast about Japan's recovery efforts.

Yet, the matter is more psychological and spiritual since the 3/11 Disaster includes a great nuclear accident of Fukushima Daiichi.


SECTION I: Lucky Dragon 5

Decades ago, when the U.S. Army was busy testing its nuclear weapons in the South Pacific Ocean, some Japanese ships and fishing industry were hard hit. One of them is a half wooden fishing boat named "Daigo Fukuryu-Maru" (Lucky Dragon 5).

http://www33.ocn.ne.jp/~dotoku/HPFF2005/program/main/programlistmain2.html

Daigo Fukuryū Maru encountered the fallout from the U.S. Castle Bravo nuclear test on the Bikini Atoll, near the Marshall Islands, on March 1, 1954. The boat, along with its 23 fishermen aboard, as well as their catch of fish, were contaminated. They returned to Yaizu, Japan on March 14. The crew members, suffering from nausea, headache, burns, pains in the eyes, bleeding from the gums, etc., were diagnosed with acute radiation syndrome and admitted to two Tokyo hospitals. On September 23, chief radio operator Mr. Aikichi Kuboyama, 40, died — the first Japanese victim of a hydrogen bomb. He left these words: "I pray that I am the last victim of an atomic or hydrogen bomb."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daigo_Fukury%C5%AB_Maru

The American Government paid some compensation which was not sufficient to cover damage of the Japanese fishing industry. But, the American Government also paid strong attention to whether this accident would lead the Japanese society to anti-American behaviors while the Cold War was going on with the Soviet Union.

Concurrently, the U.S. was at the time fostering pro-American politicians in the Japanese politics who mostly came to belong to the LDP. What's more, the U.S. started to sell nuclear electricity generation systems to Japan, thus trying to remove anti-American movement linked with Hiroshima/Nagasaki atomic bomb attacks. The pro-American Japanese politicians started to hoist a phrase "use of atomic energy for peace." Then, they started to allocate national budget for introduction of nuclear power generation technology from the U.S.

In April 1954, the first nuclear development budget was approved in the Japanese parliament (called the Diet). It was Mr. Yashuhiro Nakasone, prime minister of Japan between 1982 and 1987, that pushed this 250 million-yen nuclear energy promotion law into enforcement.

Since then, the Japanese industry imported the American nuclear technology, developed its own systems, and built many nuclear power plants.

But, the start of this industry in Japan was accompanied by the Daigo Fukuryu-Maru tragedy in 1954 as warning.

Maybe it is better to put an end to this industry with the Fukushima Daiichi accident of 2011.

Japan has already enough plutonium to make so many nuclear bombs in case. It is time to change the paradigm, though North Korea, Russia, and China still rely on its nuclear arsenal to expand their influence.



SECTION II: Tohoku University

Tohuku University is located in the city of Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture in the Tohoku Region; accordingly it was somewhat influenced by the M9.0 earthquake and tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011.

There were 1,500 foreign students in the university, but 1200 left Japan after the 3/11 Disaster in which even the Sendai Airport was covered by seawater of the tsunami and the Sendai Station of the Shinkansen express railway was partially damaged. (Shinkansen express trains that were running through the affected area at the time of the M9.0 earthquake all stopped in safety, without damage to passengers, the train body, and tracks.)

The Tohoku region has many makers, subcontractors, factories and R&D centers of high-tech enterprises of Japan. High quality of parts and components are produced in this region and provided for not only domestic big makers, such as Toyota and Sony, but also makers all over the world.

Tohoku University is the most important research & development infrastructure in the Tohoku region in northeast part of Honsyu Island.

Now, 90% of the foreign students who returned to their home countries in the wake of the 3/11 Disaster has come back to the university. No professors or assistant professors quit their posts in Tohoku University.

The president of the university said in a newspaper interview that scientists and researchers might feel emptiness facing the great disaster that made their study and work look senseless and powerless but they have to make efforts to produce something useful if not so creative.

http://www.tohoku.ac.jp/english/


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

It is estimated that as many as 400,000 cars were lost in the 3/11 Disaster of Japan.

Some cars violently washed and carried by the big tsunami caught fire while floating on the seawater and gathering at the foot of hills, expanding damage and casualties among earthquake hit communities.

The more advanced the civilization is, the greater damage it suffers would be.

The more sophisticated a person is, the greater damage he or she suffers would be.

So, being wild might be a key to survival even under a great tornado.

Yet, it would be really hurting a big city is sometimes for good natured citizens and workers, even in the era of Christ Jesus, wouldn't it be?

Fukushima Daiichi & Tokyo

[updated on Dec. 15, 2011]

For most of peoples in the world, the distance between Tokyo and Fukushima Daiichi (220 km or 140 miles) must be very remote and vague. It is almost equal to the distance from Paris to Brussels. Or it is almost equal to the distance from New York to the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station.

So, it is no wonder that some people in the world suspect that Tokyo is under full of radiation coming from Fukushima Daiichi. In terms of the number of atoms emitting radiation, many, many of such atoms are now in per square meters at any part of Tokyo. But, it's effect is so far almost equal to a dosage in New York or Paris.

Yet, I do not recommend Europeans and Americans to casually come to Tokyo nowadays, since even the Japanese politics is going into a tough period around the Kan Cabinet getting so unpopular.



SECTION I: Overview of State of Radiation from Fukushima Daiichi

The typical radiation level now around Fukushima Daiichi is 1.6 micro sieverts, Tokyo 0.062 micro sieverts, Yokohama 0.053 micro sieverts, Nagoya 0.046 micro sieverts, Kyoto 0.039 micro sieverts, etc.

(Click to enlarge.)
http://atmc.jp/

Measured values of radiation levels at various points in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant are mostly less than 50 micro Sieverts. However, the south point of the Main Office Building in the plant shows 400 micro-Sieverts/hour or 0.4 milli Sieverts/hour (300 milli sieverts per month).

Dangerous High Arab Connections (Connexions dangereuses arabe de haut)

IAEA scientists and staff members came to Japan and visited Fukuhsima Daiichi, taking several hours on site to check damaged facilities.

They would soon issue a report when they return to Europe.

Anyway, their on-site inspection should be respected, since no ministers in charge of the Japanese Government have yet conducted on-site inspection, though it has already passed two months since March 11, 2011.


SECTION I: Connections

(Click to enlarge.)

It is well know that the Bush family has had a strong tie with the bin Laden family of Saudi Arabia.

In this circle a notorious Arab arms dealer, namely Mr. Adnan Kashoggi, has been involved.

Mr. Kashoggi's sister was mother of Dodi Al-Fayed who associated with Princess Diana.

It is also well known that the British Royal Family has helped British weapon industry to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia like Former U.S. President Mr. George H.W. Bush. They have found merit in connection with Mr. Adnan Kashoggi.

Accordingly, the British Royal Family, the Bush Family, the bin Laden Family, the Kashoggi/Al-Fayed clan, and some others formed a circle to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Princess Diana thought that her association with Dodi Al-Fayed was safe and overlooked by the British Royal Family.

Even Israel has had a linkage with this circle through Mr. Richard Perle who worked in the White House governed by Ronald Reagan and Mr. George W. Bush and had a tie with Mr. Adnan Kashoggi.

So, everybody looked so sharing in benefits till the 9/11 Terror was executed by orders from Osama bin Laden.

However, it was after the 1997 Death of Princess Diana that Osama bin Laden intensified his attacks against the U.S.

Psychologically, the death of Princess Diana in Paris in 1997 must have a grave impact on Osama bin Laden.

(Indeed, Osama bin Laden was connected to Princess Diana through Khalid Bin Mahfou and Mr. Adnan Khashoggi/Dodi Al-Fayed so closely and dangerously.)

Yet, in the wake of the 9/11 Terror, the then President Mr. George W. Bush immediately started a plan to attack Saddam Hussein of Iraq who was a threat to Saudi Arabia and an enemy of his father Mr. George H.W. Bush. President Mr. George W. Bush would not jeopardize his relationship with the bin Laden family. What is a big surprise is that the American Media, the American Congress, and the American citizens just embraced the plan of President Mr. George W. Bush: to attack the enemy of Saudi Arabia and his father Bush Sr., Saddam Hussein, but leave the bin Laden family free and safe.

But, juts in two years since President Mr. Barack Obama assumed presidency, he could simply take on Osama bin Laden in Pakistan just when a son of Princess Diana celebrated his own wedding in London.

Indeed, a sub-era of dominance of the circle of the British Royal Family, the Bush Family, the bin Laden Family, the Kashoggi/Al-Fayed clan, and some others seems to have ended.

Though American voters once followed President Mr. George W. Bush into the War in Iraq, they look like having made a right choice in 2008 to vote for Mr. Barack Obama, since President Mr. Obama took on Osama bin Laden hiding near the capital of Pakistan in 2011.

Now Muslims are engaged in fight for democracy in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, etc.

They must now know that their centuries-long problems cannot be addressed by simply following Dodi Al-Fayed or Osama bin Laden.

Yet, for another precaution, let's confirm what product Princess Diana was in the figure below:

SECTION II: Electricity Prices

Costs of electricity is fairly low in North America.

Consumers in Japan, the U.K., and Italy spend almost twice more for electricity than the U.S. consumers do.

(Click to enlarge)
http://www.saxifrages.org/eco/go20h/World_Electricity_Prices

It must be related to room for further expansion of GDP, since use of electricity is fairly related to growth in GDP.

Japan, the U.K., and Italy have longer history of civilization than the U.S. Their environment and territorial space must be getting closer to saturation than in North America.

Yet, if six billion people on the earth come to use electricity like Americans, the earth would be surely heated to accelerate global warming, though it looks like now being superseded by global cooling power of the nature.

There is an old man living near the Fukshima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

When he was 19 years old, he encountered the atomic bomb attack in Hiroshima as a soldier of the Imperial Army. Then he returned to his hometown to start dairy husbandry when he was in the middle of his 20's, though he felt some ailment since he had received radiation at the distance of just 2 km from the Hiroshima Ground Zero.

Nown in his 80's, he is forced to abandon his business he has been engaged in for 60 years. He has sold all the cows and bulls he fostered.

It is due to the accident of Fukushima Daiichi.

Probably, his story implies that the significance of the Fukushima Daiichi accident ranks with the Hiroshima atomic bomb attack.

Indeed, Japan has not triggered a world financial crisis, though economists in the world so often talked about the possibility in this decade. It has shook the world with another Hiroshima-class "event."

It is time to think it over a sin of modern civilization of mankind.



Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Mat 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Great Nations, Great Cities (Les grandes nations et des villes des Grands)

Jerusalem has never been the greatest city in the world unlike Rome, London, and New York.

Israel has never been the greatest country in the world.

But, everybody has been taught in these 2000 years what happened in Jerusalem of Israel 2000 years ago.

And, 2000 years ago did they teach anything about Mesopotamia? Yes, the first book of the Hebrew Bible (or the Christian Old Testament) is the Book of Genesis. Whenever they thought of their origin they thought of Mesopotamia but neither of Egypt nor of Europe. Between 2000 BC and 1 BC, southern Mesopotamia was not necessarily a dominant region but must have been referred to as homeland of Abraham in this period by Israelites.

So, what I think is in AD 4000 what city or nation will be remembered as spiritually the most important city and region for the preceding 2000 years between 2001 and 3999.

Indeed, we are at the start of the third bimillennium.


SECTION I: Biggest Nations

The Tokyo metropolitan area consists of Tokyo Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, etc. It occupies most part of the Kanto Plain connected to Tokyo Bay and the Mt. Fuji region.

It is said that the Japanese population is in a downward trend, but Japan is still a big nation in terms of the population.

1. China
:-------+-------+------+------+------+------+---1,331,460,000
2. India

SECTION II: Biggest Metroplexes

The Tokyo metropolitan area occupies most part of the Kanto Plain, surrounded by the Mt. Fuji region, northern mountains, northeast mountain areas, and Tokyo Bay within a 100 km radius range, including Yokohama City, Saitama City, and Chiba City. (The border to Fukushima Prefecture is at around 150 km from the Tokyo Station.)

1. Tokyo (Japan)
:-------+-------+ ------+------+------+------+ ----35,330,000
2. Mexico City (Mexico)

SECTION III: The 3/11 Tsunami Video Taken by Residents

A little snow was falling on March 11, 2011 in northeast part of Honshu Island of Japan.

In one video, a Japanese citizen living in his home happened to take video of a tsunami rushing in and almost carrying a passer-by, though his family tried to rescue the person.

In another, people of a community were overwhelmed by a coming tsunami so powerful and horrible.

SECTION IV: Energy Related Patents in America

Japan is the second largest applicants to the US Patent and Trademark Office next to the U.S. itself in the field of energy-related technology.

Patent-based Technology Analysis Report – Alternative Energy

[Click to enlarge.]

SOL: Solar energy
WIN: Wind power
BIO: Bio energy
HYD: Hydro power
GEO: Geothermal energy
OCN: Wave and tidal power
H&FC: Hydrogen and fuel cell
CCS: Carbon capture and storage
WST: Waste-to-energy
...
Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies have seen increasing numbers of applications at USPTO since the mid-1990s. Fuel cells were initially designed for use in spacecraft but in the 1990s, further civilian uses were identified. Recently, the US government, together with major automotive and refinery companies laid out a "National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap" to foster research and development of hydrogen-related technologies. Commercialization of hydrogen liquefaction systems and automotive fuel cells has also been a focus of industry in the United States (DOE 2006).

http://www.wipo.int/patentscope/en/technology_focus/pdf/landscape_alternative_energy.pdf

So, China and South Korea have been stealing Japanese technologies in these decades. Experts in non-nonsense fields of the world all know it. Only students in China and South Korea are not taught this fact.

Yet, Japan needs China and South Korea as its operation ground due to a limit of Japan's land size and for preservation of its priceless nature.

Now a big typhoon is around the Philippines moving north and northeast to Taiwan, the Okinawa Islands, and the Japan proper.

Typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, traffic accidents, and suicides have been major threats to the Japanese society.

But, finally, the nuclear threat is posed, as Japan planned to build 11 more nuclear reactors in the very near future.

Indeed, it is crazy. It is so since any nuclear plant cannot stand a disaster caused by a typhoons, an earthquake, a tsunami, a volcano eruption, a jet plane crash, and suicides of operators all happening together. In war, any nuclear power plant can be an easy and horrible target for enemy missiles and bombers.

Truly, compared with a state before March 11, 2011, every critic, journalist, or blogger in Japan is talking about 100 milli sieverts, 20 milli sieverts, 1 milli sieverts, 0.07 micro-sieverts and other radiation levels like a mad man. So, it is enough. Fukushima Daiichi must become history as soon as possible.




Act 5:26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

Act 5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

Act 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

Act 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

"they glorified God" - (Levels of Radiation and Calculation)

Tokyo Streets in the Rain

Levels of Radiation and Calculation (niveaux de rayonnement et le calcul)

As all the six nuclear reactors of Fukushima Daiichi are stopped due to the 3/11 Disaster, Tokyo Electric Power Company has lost 32,949,000,000 kilowatt-hours in its output of power generation.

Accordingly, in late March and in early April, TEPCO applied regional planned outage to its service areas around Tokyo (which is now not implemented).

Though this outage did not apply to Tokyo Metropolitan Area, the Imperial couple of the Emperor and the Empress stopped using electricity as if the Imperial Palace had been included in a certain outage area. Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress reportedly dined by candlelight without space heating by electricity during the assumed outage.

Of course, the government office, ministry buildings, the Prime Minister Office, and TEPCO's headquarters building enjoyed electricity as much as they wanted during the planned outage applied to some areas around Tokyo.

I think that there are many Japanese voters who want Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan to resign at appropriate timing or as soon as possible, since the 3/11 Disaster occurred while he was held against having received illegal political money from a Korean resident in Japan.


SECTION I: Fukushima Elementary/Middle Schools Radiation Levels

There are more than 1600 elementary schools, junior high-schools, and kindergartens in Fukushima Prefecture as the prefecture has 2 million population.

A Japanese authority measures a radiation dose level at the height of 1 cm and 1 meter above the play ground of each school to present results in a web site. For example:

#...Name...City...micro Sieverts/hour (1 cm)...micro Sv/h (1 meter)
7 - Onami Elementary School, Fukushima: 6.1, 4.8
249 - Sakura Nursery, Koriyama: 5.2, 3.2
970 - Tamano Jr. High, Soma, Soma: 5.2, 4.1
1003- Onahama Higashi Elementary, Iwaki: 0.75, 0.62

http://atmc.jp/school/

The dose of 5 micro Sieverts per hour means 120 micro Sieverts per day, 3.6 milli Sieverts/month, and 43 milli Sieverts/year, which is believed to be fairly dangerous to children.



SECTION II: PC Performance in 2000's

Let’s pick up PCs made by Toshiba (a Japanese electronics giant) in 2000’s.

Launch Date...Model...CPU...Memory...HDD
============================================
Oct. 2000…DB65P/4MC…650MHz…64MB…20GB

Oct. 2001…T3/410PME…1GHz…256MB…30GB

Oct. 2002…T6/518CDE…1.8GHz…256MB…40GB

Oct. 2003…EX/522PDET3…2.2GHz…256MB…80GB

May 2004…VX/2W15LDSTW…1.5GHz…256MB…80GB

Aug. 2005…VX/670LS…1.73GHz…512MB…100GB

Aug. 2006…TX/980LS…1.66GHz…1GB…120GB

Aug. 2007…TX/67D…1.80GHz…1GB…160GB

Aug. 2008…TX/66G…2.26GHz…2GB…320GB

Oct. 2009…TX/66K…2.53GHz…4GB…500GB

Between 2000 and 2009, the CPU performance increased by 3.9 times; the memory size by 62.5 times; and the hard disk capacity by 25 times.

In total a personal computer was powered up by 3.9 x 62.5 x 25 = 6094 times.

The operating system was enhanced from Windows Me to XP and Vista and to Windows 7.

If it is simply translated to processing time, a manipulation of a PC that had taken one hour and 40 minutes in 2000 could be completed in one second in 2009.

Or what it had taken a full day in 2000 to handle a bunch of data files could be accomplished in 14 seconds in 2009.

It is enormous progress. It is no wonder that CIA could not find whereabouts of Osama bin Laden in 2001, though the Federal Government could do in 2011. It is so, since what CIA had been doing in a year to look for Osama bin Laden using computers in 2000 could be done in 1 hour and 30 minutes in 2009.

Joking aside, this performance growth also tells why China could so swiftly absorb or steal technical/business information from Japan and the U.S. in 2000's.

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

Recently viewers in the U.S., Germany, and Iran take higher ratios among all in this blog.

The Fukushima Daiichi accidents must have an influence on this trend.

The U.S. has the most nuclear power stations among all the nations in the world; Germany has decided to abandon nuclear energy; but Iran is still making efforts to build a nuclear power station for their own.

As Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Naoto Kan said in France and G8 Summit, Japan is going to develop non-nuclear energy more. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukushima Daiichi, it is enough for Japan.

And, Israel should stop pursuing a commercial nuclear energy program:

It also touched on Japan. "It certainly caused me to reconsider the projects of building civil nuclear power plants," Netanyahu said. "I have to tell you I was a lot more enthusiastic about it than I am now."
...
"I don't think we're going to pursue civil nuclear energy in the coming years," responded Netanyahu.

http://piersmorgan.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/17/israel-prime-minister-netanyahu-japan-situation-has-caused-me-to-reconsider-nuclear-power/?hpt=T2

And, Israel should abandon all the nuclear weapons it has secretly developed.

Of course, Pakistan, India, and China should abolish their defense strategy ultimately relying on nuclear weapons.

Then, the U.S., France, the U.K., and Russia (in addition to North Korea) should know that no one in the world is afraid of their nuclear weapons.

The 3rd Bi-Millennium (Le troisième bi-millénaire)

Probably, it is time to review 2000's.

Has anything drastic occurred during the first decade in the third 2000 year period since departure of Abraham from Mesopotamia that could match the emergence of Christ Jesus in the first decade of the second bimillennium since the departure of Abraham from Mesopotamia being led by his God?

(In this context, the first year of our calender should be the year when Abram left Ur of Mesopotamia. The birth year of Christ Jesus should be 2000 or 2001 as you like. Hence, we are now in 4011. I strongly recommend Judaists, Christians, and Muslims to adopt this Abraham Calendar system that has stretched for 4011 years up till now.)

2008: Over 146,000 in Burma/Myanmar are killed by Cyclone Nargis.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_(decade)


SECTION IV: 2000's Economic Fiascoes

2007 - 2009: The rise in interest rates and the collapse of the housing market caused a wave of loan payment failures in the U.S. in 2007. The subsequent mortgage crisis caused a global financial crisis. Economic activity was severely affected around the world in 2008 and 2009,[88] with disastrous consequences for carmakers.

2008: During 2003, the price rose above $30, reached $60 by August 11, 2005, and peaked at $147.30 in July 2008. The recession caused demand for energy to shrink in late 2008 and early 2009 and the price plunged as well.

The ideal state of mankind on the earth is of course for everybody to live the highest level of spiritual and material life.

It is very possible with the level of civilization mankind has achieved. But, reality is opposite.

It is because there are many factors, and the most important one is the American Dream.

The American Dream is the underlying cause of the 9/11 Terror of 2001 and the Financial Crisis of 2008, since Americans have tried to achieve the American Dream by leveraging crude oil in the Middle East and financial tricks on Wall Street. They have pursued their goal while neglecting religion and justice domestically and internationally. So, the decade of 2000's is a testing time for the Americans and the American Dream.

Regardless of judgment by the God, this decade has actually ended when President Mr. Barack Obama took on Osama bin Laden.

And another decade started with the 3/11 Disaster of Japan, including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accidents. It is as if the God had punished Japan so that the Japanese would come to themselves and get prepared for its new role in the third bi-millennium, since Japan has already helped China become an economic power.

"hath everlasting life" - (State of Radioactivity)

Tokyo Station in Rain...

State of Radioactivity (État de la radioactivité)

No one has got panics in Japan despite the 3/11 Disaster accompanied by the Fukushuima Daiich nuclear accidents.

However, everybody looks like keeping low profile.

Generally speaking, just in the same manner as Americans behaving after the 9/11 Terror, pious people would be more pious and evil ones will be more evil in the wake of a great shock given to society without advance notice.

It is as if the God were screening people. But, for what? To accelerate a process for the Last Judgment? Or to make the world continue a little longer by having evil ones invoke curses on them fast and strengthening pious ones for advancement into the Kingdom of God?

The answer is always in history. People who study history in the 22nd century will surely find an answer.


SECTION I: Radioactivity in Europe and Japan

In 1960's, hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs (nuclear bombs) were tested frequently and in a large scale all over the world by the U.S., the USSR, France, the U.K., and China.

Consequently, water and soils on the earth were largely radioactively contaminated.

Before 1963
Average yearly radioactivity in rain in Central Europe: 740 Bq/Kg
Surface water radioactivity in Central Europe: 444 Bq/Kg
Surface sea water radioactivity of the North Atlantic Ocean: 22.2 Bq/Kg

In 1963/1964
Average yearly radioactivity in rain in Central Europe: 222,000 Bq/Kg
Surface water radioactivity in Central Europe: 166,500 Bq/Kg
Surface sea water radioactivity of the North Atlantic Ocean: 1,850 Bq/Kg

In 1979
Average yearly radioactivity in rain in Central Europe: 9,250 Bq/Kg
Surface water radioactivity in Central Europe: 7,400 Bq/Kg
Surface sea water radioactivity of the North Atlantic Ocean: 555 Bq/Kg

(http://d.hatena.ne.jp/longtonelongtone/20110518/1305716915)

In the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in March 2011, radiation levels around Tokyo Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture have increased as follows.

Soil radioactivity in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo: 1,904 Bq/Kg...(April 10)
Soil radioactivity in Koto Ward, Tokyo: 3,201 Bq/Kg...(April 10)
Soil radioactivity in Chiba City, Chiba: 1,327 Bq/Kg...(April 11)
Soil radioactivity in Kamisu City, Ibaraki: 455 Bq/Kg...(April 20)
Soil radioactivity in Fukushima City, Fukushima: 27,650 Bq/Kg...(March 19)

(http://d.hatena.ne.jp/chamuchamu/20110520/1305848220)

So, the current radioactive situation around Tokyo or even around Fukushima Prefecture is far better than that around Berlin and other European cities from the middle of 1960's to 1970's.

(Note: One becquerel or 1 Bq means that one atom per second collapses radioactively emitting nuclear radiation.)



SECTION II: 20 Milli Sieverts for Children?

In Fukushima Prefectures there are 600 elementary schools. But, some of them are under an influence of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.

According to the Government, a radiation dose up to 20 milli sieverts per year can be accepted for children, so that no evacuation of children from schools is planned and practiced.

For example, a radiation dose in Fukushima City, some 75 km from Fukushima Daiichi, is about 1.5 micro sieverts per hour. It is 30 micro sieverts per day or 1 milli sierverts per month. Consequently, children in Fukushima City receive radiation of 12 milli sieverts per year.

But, in the play ground of some school, the radiation level is higher than than 1.5 micro sieverts per hour. The Kan Cabinet simply tells that the school management should not let children play in the exercise ground.

Is this limit of 20 milli sieverts for good health of children right and reasonable?

Or should the Government hire 5000 buses to move children everyday to other schools or facilities in a safer zone to have children take lessons in class rooms?

This is a serious issue that might decide the fate of the Kan Cabinet, since they might be causing future health problems inside the bodies of children.

It will cost just $200 million or so to use 5000 buses everyday for long distance school attending by children in affected areas of Fukushima Prefecture. It can be essily covered by the Japanese Government.

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Nov 1997

No Dose Too Low
...
Both sides agree that studies of Japanese bomb survivors show strong evidence of adverse effects at a dose of 200 milliSieverts for adult survivors and 100 milliSieverts in the case of children. Below that, the Health Physics Society says, there is an "inability to detect any increased health detriment."

But most others disagree. They cite Alice Stewart's pioneering Oxford studies, which revealed that children whose in utero exposures were as little as 10 to 20 milliSieverts had 40 percent more childhood leukemias than those who were not exposed – a statistically significant increase in risk at low doses. Although Stewart's work, published in 1970, was long attacked by nuclear industry proponents, subsequent studies have supported its main findings and government radiation authorities now quote the Oxford studies without caveat.

In addition to Stewart's work, a 1995 study that pooled the results of seven epidemiological investigations showed a statistically increase in the incidence of human thyroid cancer in groups that received doses of between 10 and 100 milliSieverts.

After the 9/11 Terror, it is said that America has changed. First, nationalism went mainstream, helping President Mr. George W. Bush get reelected. Then, acquisitive attitudes got intensified among citizens leading to the subprime loan problem. Finally, a showdown came with the fall of the financial sector and the bankruptcy of GM. But, a new era started with new president Mr. Barack Obama who finally took on Osama bin Laden. And, Wall Street and American big enterprises, including GM, came back on the old track. Though it is a little difficult to clearly indicate how Americans changed in this decade, they look at least a little educated. Conversely, America has become less dangerous to the world. It will not invoke another 9/11 or Lehman shock. Americans are going to behave a little more modest.

However, after the 3/11 Disaster of Japan, it is still unclear how Japan will change, and how China, South Korea, Taiwan, and North Korea will be influenced by change in Japan.

Anyway, as 2000's began with the 9/11 Terror in the world, 2010's began with the 3/11 Disaster for some countries in the world.
