"ye denied the Holy One and the Just" - Great is Vatican or Pope?

The Imperial Palace Plaza, Tokyo

Great is Vatican or Pope? 

Many people wonder if we have not been given any holy prophecies about the Popes who ever came and were gone.

It is very unpleasant, to tell the truth, that we are neglected by Heaven while the God must know beforehand the fate of the Vatican and all the Popes to reign there.  We believers must be informed of the last state of the Vatican if it is to end 2000 years after its foundation by St. Peter.

Pope Francis; Prophecy of the Popes; Jorge Mario Bergoglio Biography
TRUTHER MARCH 14, 2013 

- White smoke has appeared at the Vatican.  The cardinals have selected a new Pope.  The Pope was elected on the fifth vote. 

- Jorge Mario Bergoglio, SJ (born December 17, 1936) is an Argentine cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He has served as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires since 1998.   

- The newly chosen Bishop of Rome is the 266th successor of St. Peter and leader of the worldwide Catholic Church with1.2 billion members 

- Saint Malachy   (1094 – 2 November 1148) was an Irish saint and Archbishop of Armagh, to whom were attributed several miracles and an alleged vision of 112 Popes later attributed to the apocalyptic list of Prophecy of the Popes. He was the first Irish saint to be canonised by Pope Clement III in 1199. 

- The Prophecy of the Popes (Latin: Prophetia Sancte Malachiae Archiepiscopi, de Summis Pontificibus) is a series of 112 short, cryptic phrases in Latin which purport to predict the Roman Catholic popes (along with a few antipopes), beginning with Pope Celestine II. The alleged prophecies were first published by Benedictine monk Arnold Wion in 1595. Wion attributes the prophecies to Saint Malachy, a 12th‑century Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland. 

- In recent times, some interpreters of prophetic literature have drawn attention to the prophecies due to their imminent conclusion; if the list of descriptions is matched on a one-to-one basis to the list of historic popes since the prophecies’ publication, Benedict XVI (2005-2013) would correspond to the second to last of the papal descriptions, Gloria olivae (the glory of the olive). The longest and final prophecy predicts the Apocalypse: 

In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit. 

Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus, quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & judex tremendus judicabit populum suum. Finis. 

This may be translated into English as: 

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit [i.e., as bishop].
Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End. 

- Many analyses of Saint Malachy’s prophecy note that it is open to the interpretation that additional popes would come between the “glory of the olive” and Peter the Roman. Popular speculation by proponents of the prophecy attach this prediction to Benedict XVI’s successor. Since Francis’ election as Pope, proponents in internet forums have been striving to link him to the prophecy. Theories include a vague connection with Francis of Assisi, whose father was named Peter. 

- Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. A discussion of this prophecy can be found following the biography of the new Pope. 

- Proponents of the prophecies claim that Pope Benedict XVI corresponded to the pope described in the penultimate prophecy. The list ends with a pope identified as “Peter the Roman”, whose pontificate will allegedly bring the destruction of the city of Rome and usher in the beginning of the Apocalypse. 

- Several historians have concluded that the prophecies are a late 16th‑century forgery. Spanish monk and scholar Benito Jerónimo Feijóo y Montenegro wrote in his Teatro Crítico Universal (1724–1739), in an entry called Purported prophecies, that the high level of accuracy of the alleged prophecies up until the date they were published, compared with their high level of inaccuracy after that date, is evidence that they were created around the time of publication. 

- One writer notes that among the post-publication (post-1595) predictions there remain “some surprisingly appropriate phrases,” while adding that “it is of course easy to exaggerate the list’s accuracy by simply citing its successes,” and that “other tags do not fit so neatly.”

And what I pay attention is the following matters:

- Pope Francis is the first Jesuit pope.

- The headquarters of the society, its General Curia, is in Rome. 

So, let's see how new Pope's being a Jesuit would weigh in this context concerning history and prophecies.

Pope Francis Is a Jesuit: Seven Things You Need to Know About the Society of Jesus
by Caroline Linton Mar 14, 2013 4:45 AM EDT

- You may have a hazy recollection of the Jesuits from the days you applied to college, but the Society of Jesus is much more than an administrator of prestigious American universities. Also known as “God's Marines” or “The Company,” the order of priests and brothers was founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1534 with six other students at the University of Paris.  

- With its focus on education, the Jesuit order has been linked to some of the best universities in the world. In the United States, Georgetown was the first Jesuit university, founded in 1789. Today, there are 28 Jesuit universities and colleges in the United Sates alone (including Georgetown, Fordham University, Loyola University, and Boston College), and there are approximately 189 Jesuit institutions of higher learning throughout the world. 

- Although the Jesuits now are well-regarded, the order wasn't always in such good terms with the Catholic Church. Look at its name-Jesuit was originally a derisive term for those one who used too frequently or appropriated under the name of Jesus. Jesuits managed to retake the narrative on that one, and the term Jesuit is embraced by the order and has a mainly positive meaning. But in 1767, led by the charges that the Jesuits were too influential and elitist, Pope Clement XIV signed the Suppression of the Society of Jesus, which was enforced in Catholic countries such as France, the Spanish and Portuguese empires, among others. But the order was not followed in non-Catholic countries, causing the Jesuits to continue in Russia and its territories. In 1814, Pope Pius VII restored the Jesuits—but not all countries followed suit. In fact, Switzerland banned the Jesuits in the Constitution, which was not lifted until a national vote in 1973.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/03/14/pope-francis-is-a-jesuit-seven-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-society-of-jesus.html

So, there is a possibility that this Pope, Pope Francis, changes the structure of the Vatican decisively, since he is from  Society of Jesus.

Finally he can be even regraded as another St. Peter from Jesuits, since he is the first Pope from the group; St. Francis is the founder of the House of Jesuits in the Vatican Kingdom.

"the beginning of the creation of God"- Human Church Extra

Tokyo Imperial Palace Plaza

Human Church Extra

It might be a warning, but I heard a Spirit said, "Human Church, Extra!"

Probably the Spirit said about the state of the Vatican.

I think it meant that a holy Pope would not be elected but still just a man who calls himself Pope will fill the position of the Papacy.

However, it implies that the end of human church is near, so that it is "extra."

Then, the God would act to change the Christianity once and for all.

"He that hath two coats" - Former Pope and Fatima

Streets before Tokyo Station

Former Pope and Fatima

Former Pope Benedict XVI might have seen a vision related to the prophecies of Fatima.

They say that Mother Mary appeared to young children in Portugal in 1917 to given them some messages which are called the Fatima Prophecies.

According to some experts, the third one of the messages is related to the end of the world or the end of the Vatican.

The Fatima Prophecies

By Stephen Wagner, About.com Guide
......
Since the revelation, the Vatican has been quick to downplay the significance of the prophecy. For one thing, Catholics are under no obligation to believe in the events at Fatima - they can take them or leave them since they are not part of church doctrine. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who was a prefect for the Doctrine of Faith and is now Pope Benedict XVI, said about the prophecy: "Those who expected exciting apocalyptic revelations about the end of the world or the future course of history are bound to be disappointed. Fatima does not satisfy our curiosity in this way, just as Christian faith cannot be reduced to an object of mere curiosity. There is no immutable destiny. In the end, prayer is more powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than armies." He seemed to be implying that the prayers of the faithful had deflected the terrible scene warned of in the prophecy.

Many Fatima devotees are not satisfied with what the Vatican has chosen to reveal, suspecting that they have either altered the message or not disclosed it in its entirety. Why, after all, were five successive Popes so reluctant to make the prophecy public? Ratzinger explained that the secret was kept because of the fuzziness of the message, which he said could by deciphered "only in the light of history." And when he was asked if the Fatima secrets pertained only to the past, he replied, "I think so."

Some Fatima devotees are not buying that explanation, however. "We still have a bigger punishment in store for us if we don't turn away from sin," said Christopher Ferrara, a spokesman for the Fatima Network in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. Others at the center called the Vatican's interpretation "a whitewash."

By contrast, Ratzinger put a positive spin on the prophecy. "It encourages us by showing that even in a world which was half destroyed," he said, "there is a greater force and death does not have the last word. At the end of a century and a millennium, we were able to propose this text to humanity and to the Church in a positive spirit. It indicates that we should use the power of love against the power of violence."

Kathleen A. Keating wrote of the recent revelation: "The Third Secret of Fatima is still a secret. In the press release issued by the Vatican today, the public was made privy to, at best, a watered down version of one sentence of the true secret. This ridiculous revelation bears no resemblance to the remarks made by Pope John Paul II in Fatima, May 13, 2000, when he said that we are in fact in the midst of Revelation-Chapter 12, verse 3: And another sign in heaven; and behold a great Red Dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns; and on his heads seven diadems… I have a source, deep inside the Vatican, who let me know some time ago that what would be revealed today would only distantly resemble the actual Third Secret, that it would be pared down, containing very little fact."

Were the messages at Fatima prophecies of our future, warnings about possible outcomes or just imaginings inspired by the faith of three small children? Like most such things, it comes down to what you choose to believe.

"stones to raise up children unto Abraham" - Pope Alexander VI

Tokyo Bay

Pope Alexander VI (1431 – 1503)

Pope Alexander VI is said to be the worst in history

The reward for “Baddest Pope Ever” arguably goes to Rodrigo Borgia, who enjoyed the benefits of having an uncle who just happened to be Pope Calixtus III. Thanks to his convenient social status, Borgia passed through the ranks of bishop, cardinal, and vice-chancellor, gaining enormous wealth along the way. In 1492, he was actually able to buy his way into the papacy, defeating two other opponents by means of bribery. 

Alexander was so corrupt that his surname eventually became a byword representing the hellishly low papal standards of the time. He sired at least seven different illegitimate children by his mistresses, and didn’t hesitate to reward them with handsome endowments at the church’s expense. When low on finances, he either established new cardinals in return for payments, or he slammed wealthy people with completely fabricated charges, jailed or murdered them for said false charges, and then stole their money. 

Not surprisingly, there is very little about Alexander VI that can be considered godly or even lawful. His goals were selfish and ambitious, and the orderly government he initially administered quickly deteriorated until the city of Rome was in a state of complete disrepair. The words spoken by Giovanni de Medici (the future Pope Leo X) after Borgia’s election are telling:
“Now we are in the power of a wolf, the most rapacious perhaps that this world has ever seen. And if we do not flee, he will inevitably devour us all.”

http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-worst-popes-in-history.php

Now you know why Columbus must have reached the new world later called America in 1492.

In other word, the glory of Europe started to end in 1492 with Pope Alexander VI.

Now as there is no Pope in the Vatican, everything looks fine.  The long and great process of ending European Christian glory seems to be accomplished in 2013 with the last Pope, so far, gone.

"Silver and gold have I none" - Pope Gone V

Around Tokyo Bay

Pope Gone V

Arrogant Europeans are not qualified to lead the world any more in this century.

China is out of question as you know their foolishness and selfishness.

The US is a kind of derailing out of the sound course of humanity as they have so many abnormal citizens and dangerous guns in addition to ever expanding power of money in the society.  Americans cannot provide nothing more than freedom for purchasing the American Money Dream.

So, Japan is the only option left as the Vatican has almost completely lost a glow of its glory and Muslims cannot conquer the challenge posed to them in these years.

But what is in Japan?  At least it has had a potential to make China a great economic power and allow South Korea and some other Asian countries to enjoy some economic success.  But more than that, it has its own spiritualism.  For this reason, Japan is outside the Christian world and other global religious influences, including the Islam and Buddhism of the South-Asian version.

Anyway, though Japan is the most industrialized nation in the world, it is the country that preserves its cultural tradition since the era of great Buddhist Shotoku Taishi (Prince Shotoku of Yamato Court; 574 - 622) or the era of Himiko (Queen of Wa of Japan; ? - 248)  or even since a king of Na of Japan received a gold seal from an emperor of the Han dynasty of China in AD 57 to be acknowledged as a follower of the Han court.

Yes, when some disciples of Christ Jesus started to compile Gospels, a Japanese king was recorded in some Chinese imperial record.  As on this seal some kanji letters were engraved, it could be regraded as the beginning of Japanese civilization.

Since then, Japan has developed its unique culture to date without interruption or changes of races of inhabitants and ruling classes for 2000 years with the imperial family at its core of the social and religious systems.      

So, the Vatican is as old and contiguous as Japan is in the history, though China changed so many times its inhabitants and ruling classes with many interruptions in these 2000 years.

"ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" - Pope Gone IV

Tokyo Bay

Pope Gone IV

Nobody thinks that the Pope of the Vatican has power to change the world today.

But, the most important figure in Europe in terms of culture, history, and religion is the Pope.

For example, if the Vatican was dissolved and the Roman Church system was abolished, European people would be adversely affected and lose power to lead the world.

So, it is interesting to see how Malachy's prophecy on the fates of the successive Popes has taken attention from some people.

On Monday, 11 February 2013 - Pope Benedict XVI (16th) said he would resign/abdicate by the end of the month, citing failing health reasons.

Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger) took the position of pope as one of the fiercest storms the Catholic Church has faced in decades - the scandal of child sex abuse by priests - was breaking. 

Of interest, there is one leading candidate to replace the frail Pope Benedict. That is Italy's Cardinal Tarcisio Pietro Evasio Bertone, who is the Cardinal Secretary of State. Cardinal Bertone was born in Romano, Italy. With the name Pietro (Peter), and being from Romano - could this be 'Peter the Roman'? Of interest is the fact that in the interim (known as 'sede vacante') between the resignation/abdication of Benedict and the appointment of the next pope (by Easter?), it will be Cardinal Bertone who will be called upon as 'Camerlengo' to serve as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Some say Benedict favored Bertone as his successor...

Malachy's final words: 

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock among many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city (Rome, the seat of the Vatican) will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. 

It is striking that at least one pope had a similar mystical vision: 

In 1909, while granting an audience, pope Pius X leaned back and closed his eyes. Suddenly he "awoke" and cried out: "What I see is terrifying. Will it be myself? Will it be my successor? What is certain is that the pope will quit Rome, and in leaving the Vatican, he will have to walk over the dead bodies of his priests."
Pius's prophecy was fulfilled neither in his own time nor in that of the next pontiff. According to Malachy's vision of the Church's "tribulation," it applies to the successor of Gloria Olivae-the next pope but one.

You have to think how you would abandon your life and follow Him, since there are such signs.

But how are the most pious people are feeling?

However, the God told me that He would not give any clues to what will happen in the near future to anybody.

Suppose that you are a Pope who has suddenly become afraid of his own death.

Then you would like to retire as soon as possible.  You must hide your fear of death.

Or you might have a fearful dream one night.  For example, the Devil comes to you requesting his portion, saying that you owe your success to support the Devil has given according to a horrible contract.

Or otherwise, Heaven might send an Angel to you to tell you that the God is going to reward you soon for your righteous life.

In either case, you have to take care of yourself, since your time has ended.  You must not be bothered any more.

The Pope has left the Vatican, leaving the Papal See vacant.

Nobody takes care of living souls in this world.

It is unbelievable.  It is horrible.  And it is so sinful.

If you were the Pope, you have to say everyday to the word, "Stop using money and live like Christ Jesus, namely a homeless man!"

Indeed, money is the top servant of the Devil, though Christ Jesus used some coins taken out of the mouths of fishes.
  
Essentially, what Christ Jesus recommended is to live thinking about the God as the most important issue in one's life.  It is so, because the God can create any souls in this world, including you.

China was once the richest region in the world when Europe was at the brink of fall before Muslims and Mongolians.

India was once the richest region in the world when Europe was not fully governed by the Roman Empire.

And, the Arabic world was once the most highly cultivated region when Europe was being reorganized under the Vatican.  

But without help from Japan, China could not revive in 1990s and 2000s.

So, then who would help India and the Islamic world?  The US or China if not the EU?

It means that He could find 12 pious persons.

But if you look around, you would know that it is very difficult to find 12 pious persons on the street.

Or can you name 12 persons who can be recognized as pious by everybody in the world?

Anyway, if there had not been 12 persons who would rather believe in Christ Jesus, there would not have been the religion Christianity.

And, if you met Christ Jesus today or tomorrow, would you rather follow Him?

Indeed it was called to capture people in the Gospel.  While Christ Jesus was God, He had to go and capture souls but not ordered people to follow Him as He is their Lord.

"Come and follow me" can be said by any old frauds, but it was also the word Christ Jesus used.

Truly He acted like a man in Palestine 2000 years ago to start a religion for mankind.   And He led 12 men like a leader of a religious band.  This image must be the Gospel itself.

Sheep and Wolves

Too many people die every day in the world in a tragic manner.

But every living man concentrates on his desire without minding the dead.

It is simple.  You cannot change fates of others as with yours.  So, you have to just see off those unhappy guys being killed in terror, accidents, crimes, and so on.  Be wise and try to get money.

But it is against teaching of the God.

Christ Jesus said to save others like you try to save yourself.

So,  every living man must concentrate on unhappiness of others without adhering to his own happiness.

However, Christ Jesus also said that you are a sheep while other are wolves.  So, a sheep must try to save wolves.  This is impossible.  You may think so.  If a happy sheep tries to help unhappy wolves, it will be surely killed.  But by doing so, you may turn an unhappy wolf to a happy sheep.  Then Angels in Heaven should be glad.

And finally the God will send Army of Heaven to this world or the spiritual sphere connected to this world to wipe out all the wolves remaining as they are to the hell, whether these wolves are happy or unhappy.

All the sheep will be rewarded in Heaven.   Eventually your faith will be paid off.  And you might not be a sheep anymore in Heaven.

Meanwhile Pope John Paul II died in 2005.  And finally Pope Benedict XVI decided to step down in 2013.

This is truly a series of events foretelling the fate of mankind in this century, since the new era has apparently began in 2001 or 2000 years after the birth of Christ Jesus who was born 2000 years after the birth of Abraham.

Joh 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Joh 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
Joh 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
Joh 2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

"then shall they fast in those days" - Resign

Mt. Fuji, Japan

Resign

To live well and succeed in life is not what is supposed a man to do by the God.

Though it is very common and ordinary that people grow up to have better living in any society, but it is not what the God wants a man to do.

According to Christ Jesus, a man is required to follow the teaching of the God and love his neighbors as he loves himself.  Therefore he must allow his neighbors to live well and succedd in their lives.

Then, of course, there will be no wars and poverty.  If all the men had lived this way, there would not have been even Islam.

So, now as all the med have not followed this teaching of the God, what will happen?

One thing sure is that Christ Jesus now coming back to this world must not be pleased at all.  He might want all the ranked and ranking people to resign like the Pope as soon as possible to start a really new era.

Mar 2:19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Mar 2:20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

No More Popes?

The Pope is to resign.

It is very extraordinary.  It must be reviewed spiritually more carefully.

It may be a sign of the end of the glory of Europe.

Indeed while G20 member countries have sent ministers in the Moscow conference, a 17-meter long meteor hit the ground in Russia, not so far away from Moscow in the global scale.

The world has really started to change, but you must remember that a half year before the death of the preceding Pope a big earthquake occurred in the Indian ocean off  Sumatra Island to trigger very big tsunamis which took on hundreds of thousands of lives at the Christmas time of 2004.

The sign in the sky; the wonder on the ground; and the time is shifting really.

"Of every tree of the garden " - Series or Parallel

Mt. Fuji Observed from Tokyo Area Today

Series or Parallel

If you have three able men, how would you handle them?

Suppose that each man has reliability in work of 100 operations at a ratio of 99%.  It means each of them might make a mistake once in 100 operations at a probability of 1%.

You order them to accomplish a task needing 300 operations of any sort.   But you tell each one to work for jut 100 operations.  The first one does his job for 100 operations and then pass it to the next one.  The second one does his job for next 100 operations to pass it to the last man.

In this case, a probability of occurrence of an error is 1 - (0.99 x 0.99 x 0.99) =  0.0297.  A possibility that this task jointly tackled cannot be perfectly accomplished is 2.97%.

Now there is another group of three men whose reliability of 300 operations is 90%, 85%, and 80%, respectively.  It means even the best of them might make a mistake once in 300 operations at a probability of 10%.

But, if you make them do the same task you ordered to the first group, they can do better.

You make these three mediocre men tackle the task in parallel for 300 operations for each.  Each man does the whole task of 300 operations alone separately but simultaneously.  

Then a probability that you cannot get a perfectly accomplished task at all from any of these three men is 0.1 x 0.15 x 0.2 = 0.003, namely 0.3%.

So, if you want one perfectly accomplished task with three men in charge, you should not have three excellent men divide the task and each of them take one third.  If they work in series, relaying the task, the task will fail in a probability at about 3%.

But if you have three mediocre man get engaged each in the whole task independently or in parallel, all the tasks will fail in a probability only at about 0.3%.

In other word, we need two or more men who can work for long hours at mediocre reliability than the same number of guys who can work only for short hours even if at excellent reliability.

To make sure, of course, the former case comprises 300 operations in total, but the latter involves 900 operations in total, which is called redundancy.

"where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is" - Pope and Malachy

Pope and Malachy

The Pope finally announced that he would step down in a month:

From Citizen Wells April 7, 2012.From The Raiders News Network April 5, 2012.

The internet and Bible prophecy community have been buzzing due to an ancient prophecy attributed to Saint Malachy which predicted some 112 popes culminating in the destruction of Rome, Benedict being next to last. Adding fuel to the fire are assertions from a soon to be released book titled after the predicted last pope concerning a cryptic cipher published by a Belgian Jesuit back in 1951. 

Bestselling author, Thomas Horn (Apollyon Rising, Forbidden Gates), has teamed up with a Christian apologist and author Cris Putnam (Pandemonium’s Engine) in the soon to be released book, Petrus Romanus, which explores the intricacies of the Malachy prophecy and the potential role of the pope in biblical prophecy. According to the blog promoting the soon to be released book, the deceased Jesuit priest and codebreaker, René Thibaut, decoded 2012 explicitly as the year for the final conclave. According to calculations at Putnam’s website the date coincides with the recent rumors. 

While some Catholic scholars are divided on the Prophecy of the Popes, John Lupia Ph.D. at Roman Catholic News has deemed it genuine. Loyal Catholics are likely incredulous due to Rome’s predicted doom during the next pontificate. This foretold apocalyptic demise has Protestants like Hal Lindsey and Jack Van Impe speculating that the “rapture” of the church — a time when true believers will be caught away into the heavens and saved from great tribulation — will occur very soon. For believers in the rapture, this seems all the more exhilarating amidst the numerous 2012 predictions.

The False Prophet And The Antichrist Are Here 

(Petrus Romanus) Peter the Roman could be the next pope to reign, don’t you think? The people’s drawn up list of contenders to replace Benedict as follows, Cardinal Peter Turkson as favourite of Ghana with Cardinal Marc Ouellet next  and Francis Arinze. The last pope might be involved with the Antichrist, I’m not saying St. Malachy’s prophecy is absolute truth, although it seems to be shaping up that way but the signs that this age is near an END doesn’t lie with Saint Malachy’s prophecies but lay with what scriptures have told us from the beginning to the End. 

What I am doing is making you aware of this intriguing prophecy, so you can keep watch!

"in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome" - Terror, Nothing Personal?

Tokyo Imperial Palace Plaza Park (old Edo Castle of Tokugawa Shogun or Tycoon)

Terror, Nothing Personal?

Why didn't Osama bin Laden target the US President, namely Mr. W. Bush, on September 11, 2001?

He sent two hijacked commercial jet planes to Washington DC to destroy the Pentagon and the White House, probably.  Then Osama and his aids must have checked where President Bush would be on the day.

But immediately before September 11, namely on September 9, Ahmed Shah Massoud, one of anti-Taliban leaders, was killed by Al Qaeda/Taliban in northern Afghanistan. These two incidents were linked. So, as soon as they took on enemy commander Massoudt, Osama and his followers wanted the terror to be carried out in Washington and New York. It is not clear how these two operations were linked, but on their side these two seem to have been psychologically linked. And, in one terror action, they took a specific man, Massoud,, but in another action, they didn't try to attack any special individuals, including Mr. W. Bush.

So, the World Trade Center in New York was more important than President Bush for Osama and his entourage.  But Osama said in a video tape that he had thought that only floors above the one hit by a hijacked plane would collapse to the ground,  Osama did not expect that scale of the total disaster in the southern part of New York City.

Yet, Osama and Al Qaeda leaders wanted to attack the World Trade Center no matter if they could destroy and crash only the upper part of the Towers down to the ground.
 
Nonetheless, in May 2011, US President Obama specifically ordered to attack Osama hiding in a town of Pakistan, which was successfully executed.

As Osama did not focus on President W. Bush, his act of terror expanded world wide, leading to tragedies in London, Lisbon, Bali, etc.  But as Obama focused on only Osama, no fear spread widely in the Islamic world.

" what time the star appeared" - Stop Lock-On

Japan

Stop Lock-On

Once or more than 150 years ago and before, successive Chinese emperors and their subjects though that China was the most advanced and cultivated empire in the world.

They thought that savages lived in the north of their empire, other savages lived in the west, different savages lived in the south, and some savages lived in the east.

But they were defeated by the British Empire in 1842 while English merchants were selling opium to Chinese and receiving silver in exchange to make UK's account balance which would have been otherwise in a state of the red due to a huge trade deficits with India.      

Now China has gained some economic power and built up some modern military forces, trying to venture into pretending to be an old empire before the Opium War.

It is very unique and traditional, but not sane at all in the 21st century.

China must stop having its naval ships and military planes lock on Japanese vessels and helicopters patrolling the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea, since the islands belong to Japan from the era in the late 19th century when the Empire of Japan defeated the Ching Dynasty in the first Japanese-Chinese War.

Mat 2:7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Mat 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Mat 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Mat 2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

"watered the whole face of the ground" - Japanese Female Judo Players

A City around Tokyo

Japanese Female Judo Players

The All Japan Judo Federation now faces accusation of having treated female judo players badly.

It was exposed to the Media as 15 of those women wrote a letter to the Japan Olympic Committee asking for help as their appeal to the Federation had been almost neglected.

Those top judo players alleged that the head coach of the Japanese female national judo team kicked, punched, and slapped them often.  So, they wanted dismissal of him.

Now the head coach was fired and some other leaders of the Judo Federation also resigned from their posts among rising concerns in the society.

As Tokyo plans to host the 2020 Olympic Games, this incident is taken gravely by the Tokyo Government Office and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.

I think it is not good for people to live on Judo.  They have to also work as ordinary citizens in some decent work places, for example, in office, plants, or shops of businesses or administrative institutions.   Judo is not a means to earn salary and get social status.

There should not be professional judo players and coaches like wrestling and boxing.  They must be also, for example, workers in ordinary workplaces.

"they uncovered the roof where he was" - New PM Shinzo Abe

Tokyo Station & Shinkansen Train

New PM Shinzo Abe

New Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe is turning to be a focus not only in Japan but also in the world.

He was elected as prime minister in 2006 but fell into an illness and resigned in the middle of accusation in 2007.  At the time he was in his early 50s.

Mr. Abe was elected again as president of the conservative LDP last September to win the general election held three months later, in December, to take over power from the labor-union based DPJ and become the 96th prime minister of Japan, though he was once the 90th.  Such a comeback case is rare in Japan especially in competition for the premiership.

Mr. Abe was from one of politically very notable families in Japan.  His grandfather was also prime minister of Japan; Nobusuke Kishi  assumed prime minister office from 1957 to 1960, though this ex-elite bureaucrat of the Empire of Japan had been a state minister of the Cabinet led by prime minister/army general Hideki Tojyo who ordered the Pearl Harbor Attack.  Kishi was even arrested as one of war criminals by the US forces after WWII.

When he was the 90th prime minister of Japan in 2006, LDP politician Mr. Shinzo Abe was labeled as the worst type of Japanese nationalists who had ever assumed the premiership of Japan.  The New York Times and other Western Media which were especially compassionate with China  expressed their discomfort against Mr. Shinzo Abe.  Those Media claimed that Mr. Abe neglected responsibility of the Empire of Japan for tragedies in Asia and the Pacific region during WWII.

Mr. Abe and the LDP intend to revise the Japanese Constitution which imposes strict or too idealistic peace-loving administrative stances and practices on the Japanese Government.  As this Constitution was based on a draft worked out by Americans appointed by General MacArthur who led the Allied occupation forces stationed in Japan after WWII, the conservative or nationalistic camp in Japan want to abolish it and establish a new constitution to be drafted 100% by Japanese.    

However, what Japanese voters want PM Abe to do is not such a political reform concerning nationalism or traditionalism.  It is economy.

People understand that the socialistic DPJ having been in charge of the government failed in economy while they had power between September 2009 and December 2012.  Now as the Abe Cabinet clearly holds up their goals, at least for the time being, of combating with deflation continuing since 1990s.  Japanese see Mr. Abe as a leader putting more emphasis on the economy than on nationalism.

Japanese businesses and exporters, including Toyota, which have suffered the too-high yen in these years welcome PM Abe, while Mr. Abe has strongly requested cooperation of the Bank of Japan, which has quickly resulted in a trend reversed in the exchange market and high stock prices in the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

So, if China and North Korea should not challenge Japan with their military capacity, there would be no problems in East Asia, though China is still stupidly pretending to be trying to illegally invade the Senkaku Islands of Japan in the East China Sea.

Mar 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
Mar 2:6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Mar 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
Mar 2:8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
Mar 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
Mar 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
Mar 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
