Comrades, Where are Your Countries?

Comrades, Where are Your Countries?

(Camarades, où sont vos pays?)


SECTION I: GM, TOYOTA, and NHK

As of the year end of 2007, GM’s bottom line shows 38 billion and 320 million dollars, which however means an unbelievable figure of deficit in GM's thrird straight red-ink year.

GM’s affiliate companies in the financial sector were also negatively influenced by the subprime loan problem.

According to The Yomiuri Shimbun published in Japan, GM has been driving earnings growth in the Chinese market and other Asian regions as well as Central and South Americas, though its main business operation in North America has ruined its total outcomes of business.

On the other hand, as I once wrote in this EEE Reporter blog, Toyota is not successful in gaining respect from laborers in the Philippines. A notable Japanese blog has taken up this issue, too, since Toyota’s workers in the Philippines are feeling under pressure by military troops of the Philippines.

( http://blog.goo.ne.jp/tokyodo-2005)

On the other hand, Toyota is still enjoying respect in the Japanese society; the newspaper also reported that an ex-Toyota’s executive is to be appointed to a representative director of NHK, Japan’s largest public broadcasting corporation.

Nonetheless, NHK has not been fulfilling its duty, since it has not been quick to support victims of the recent medication scandal involving Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry of Japan.

(It is reportedly Fuji TV’s female reporters that helped the victims expose a kind of the criminal involvement of bureaucrats in concealment activities of the medical incident.)

NHK is also slow in detecting the recent foods contamination incident exported by a food company in China, heightening concern among Japanese consumers about every food item imported from China.

NHK was also desperately wrong in analyzing and predicting the scope of catastrophic influence of the subprime loan problem, even in comparison with CNN.

Now you cannot much trust in these big players in the integrated business society over the Pacific Ocean.

They must be missing something graver, though Toyota has built its car manufacturing plant in Russia.


SECTION II: RUSSIA, CHINA, and JAPAN

GM is making a big profit in the Chinese market. Toyota is also following suit. They are essentially prone to close eyes to any social troubles and problems in China, such as a large scale contamination of the nature and agricultural products of China.

What is worse, NHK also keeps silent to any such incidents as well as any corruption in the Chinese society, since there are many pro-China politicians in the Japanese ruling parties.

What is much worse, US media indirectly linked with interest of GM and Wal-Mart are also very reluctant in reporting such contamination and corruption in China.

In this context, the former Clinton Administration was more untrustworthy than the incumbent Bush Administration.

So, we have to refer to a knowledgeable community in Japan to learn reasonable analysis about China, since American people are too naïve on China and less informed on the Chinese society. (Politically China is no different from Saddam Hussein’s Iraq for its one-party dictatorship.)

According to one theory presented in a Japanese blog on the Internet, Russia has already studied the future of China with conclusion that Chinese economy will sooner or later run into the sands or on the rocks with serious troubles accompanied by the burst of the bubble partly due to shortage of energy resources.

The U.S. will also sooner or later face the end of hegemony of dollars in the global market.

So, Russia with huge natural resources and military capability is, according to a bold theory, going to venture into forming a virtual alliance with China and Japan to establish a new superpower group in the 21st century.

From a religious point of view, if the Era of European and European American Christians is going to end, it is not so absured that Russians and Chinese are given a chance to lead the world with Japan before the new glorious era of Islam or a US Religious Revolution.

Indeed, this is what the US Government has been traditionally most afraid of: the all-out alliance between Russia and Japan or China and Japan.

Russia is the last and largest country based on the direct tradition of Christianity of the ancient Roman Empire.

China is the last and largest country based on the direct application of Marxism which is a transformation of modern Judaism.

On the other hand, though Japan accepted the American Christian ideology after WWII, especially through adoption of the Peace Constitution, it keeps still unique spiritual culture at the core of its civilization which is now more authentic than the modern Chinese Civilization in terms of preservation of traditional East Asian spiritualism.

However, will the possible three-party alliance of these three nations benefit the world more than the incumbent superpower U.S. has done, if any?

To get an answer, you have to refer to analysis and discussions being presented in the EEE Reporter blog.

It is because in the summer of 2001 nobody dreamed of the coming of the Era of the War on Terror, the US Dollar System Erosion, the Economic Revival and Rise of China and Russia, and Extreme Prosperity in the Pro-US Middle East Countries.

As the War on Terror sprang while the US Government and the media were busy attacking Japanese economy in 1990’s, something beyond American elites’ imagination might happen while they still lack respect to Japan in 2000’s.



(Europeans sometimes wonder how non-Christians in Africa and Asia can control their behaviors while they do not know Christianity.

Most Japanese have traditionally wondered why they need Christianity while their ethical standards and moral codes are apparently higher than those of European Christians.

Now, you know why I do not respect those Japanese who despise others that have not been to Paris or Rome for sight-seeing.

Those Japanese getting proud of having made a sight-seeing trip to Paris and Rome do not know anything about European Christianity.

This feeling of mine is not understood by most of Japanese, though some Americans can do interestingly.

If you have money and time to go and see the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, you had better go and see the famous South Gate of Seuol, Korea, though it was burnt down yesterday or so.

Even Korea is changing. We have to continue to watch the sign of the Age, Comrades!)

God and America for Europeans, Africans, Hispanics, and Muslims

(watching the spring coming from the top of the tree)




God and America for Europeans, Africans, Hispanics, and Muslims

(Dieu et l'Amérique pour les Européens, les Africains, les Hispaniques, et les musulmans)




This is the biggest issue today next to the fatal ones for mankind, “God and Japan” and “God and Israel.”

And, as I wrote, a few days ago, about the movie "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada," the biggest issue today in the U.S. is an increase in the number of Hispanic Americans, since their choice on next US President will virtually decide the outcome of the 2008 Presidential Election.

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

From a religious point of view, the God was very benevolent to European Christians, since He allowed Columbus to sail to the west on the Atlantic to find the New World where descendants of ancient Greek and Roman Civilization were promised great success from the beginning.

It looks like compensation for His approval to vouchsafing Islam to Arabs in the early seventh century.

However, two religious worlds, Christianity and Islam, seem to have been allowed to develop and proceed along with a 900-year rule on a historical time coordinate, respectively.

The sequence is as follows:
---
1) The God got angry around the seventh century　with the Vatican for their blasphemy in concocting the so-called Trinity-in-Unity Theory and other pompous arguments about Jesus Christ and God.

2) So, God allowed an Angel around the seventh century　to provide Islam to Arabs who had been so often told about creeds of the Vatican version of Christianity and the New Judaism formed after the new Diaspora since the first century, but could not wholly accept or believe them.

3) Islam was vouchsafed roughly 900 years after the era of Alexandros III or Alexander the Great, since Arabs could skip the glory of the old Judaism and Christianity due to their historical paradigm based on Islam.

The God waited for another 900 years watching development of Islam to find that the religion only served to protect Muslims at the boarder around Asia Minor and Palestine along with a failed attempt to invade West Europe from the Iberian Peninsula.

So, He allowed Columbus before the 16th century　to read the book Marco Polo had written about China and Japan and venture into the sailing west on the Atlantic (with hidden intention to have the New Continent prepared also for Muslims in far future).

In this way, 900 years after the emergence of Islam which emerged 900 years after Alexander the Great who had conquered presently main Islamic regions, Columbus and European Christians were allowed to reach the New Continent later named “America.”

In this way, the Continent America was discovered in 1492 while Islam was established in 622 and Alexander the Great died 323 B.C. after his conquest of Asia Minor, Palestine, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (of the present day; and all of them are Islamic regions today) which is still an unfulfilled dream for any superpowers in the world as proven by the 9/11 Terror delivered from Afghanistan and Pakistan.

4) In addition, to Christians, another 900-year time rule could be applied. It was the year 962 that Pope John XII crowned Otto, then King of Germany, emperor. Emperor Otto became “the guarantor of the independence of the papal states. This was the first effective guarantee of such protection since the Carolingian Empire” (Wikipedia).

This incident led to the rise of the Hitler. But, before Hitler, in 1861, the Civil War erupted in the United States, just 900 years after the tie-up between German Emperor Otto and Pope.

Therefore, American Christians should live in this 900 year time coordinate, trying to understand implication of these two grave incidents in American/European History.
---

Now back to the Columbus era, the God was watching how European Americans would extend their gratitude to Him and get more and more pious, since they were given a great chance to develop Christianity anew breaking away the yoke of the Vatican, Rome.

But, European Americans killed so many Native North Americans, having been forced to desperately fight against emigrant Europeans, and abused so many African Americans having been forcedly brought to North America as slaves.

So, the God let His Angels to cause the Civil War where 600,000 soldiers were killed so as to release African American slaves.

Then, the God was and is still watching how African Americans would extend their gratitude to Him and get more and more pious, since they were given a great chance to develop Christianity anew breaking away the yoke of European American churches and doctrines.

At this point, you may like to think that the candidate “Obama” is the answer to the God.

But, I have to still recall the movie "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada," since the hero of the story, a European American rancher, recalled words his unfortunately killed Mexican friend had once proudly said: Jimenes (or Himenes) is a beautiful village surrounded by the mountains and valleys that will have your heart cry for heart-rending sorrow as it cannot bear such beautiful of the scenery.

Maybe, Hispanics might have a soul that can appreciate grace and blessing endowed by the God more than any other races on North America where Muslims might, however, become a majority in, say, 2400 (= 600 + 900 + 900).

What do you say on the 2008 US Presidential Election where Hispanics might exercise a decisive influential power for the first time in such occasion?

Or, are you still being puzzled by the inevitablity of adopting 900 years in the above context? Just accept it as for now!




(To some who are suffering from illness, I would like to say that it is all for emergence of God’s glory around you.

To some who are suffering from defeat of any kinds, I would like to say that it is all for emergence of God’s glory around you.

To some who are suffering from a state of poverty, homelessness, treachery, forced danger or solitude in any environment, etc., I would like to say that it is all for emergence of God’s glory around you.

To good girls and Mlles. suffering from an irrational or absurd social system or human relationship, I would like to say that it is all for emergence of God’s glory around you and me. Isn’t it?)

SETCTION I: Races in the U.S.

Official statistics on ratios of races in the U.S. as of 2000 indicate some crucial information related to the US Presidential Election as follows:
http://www.census.gov/prod/2001pubs/c2kbr01-1.pdf

(Population by Race and Hispanic Origin for the United States: 2000)

Total Population..................100%
(ONE RACE...........................97.6)
White...................................75.1
Black or African American......12.3
American Indian/Alaska Native...0.9
Asian....................................3.6
Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander..0.1
Some other race....................5.5
TWO or MORE RACES.............2.4

HISPANIC OR LATINO
Total population...............100%
Hispanic or Latino..............12.5
Not Hispanic or Latino........87.5

(Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000 Redistricting (Public Law 94-171) Summary File, Tables PL1 and PL2.)

It also presents some definition on races:

Hispanics may be of any race. The terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” are used interchangeably in this report.

“White” refers to people having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicated their race or races as “White” or wrote in entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.

“Black or African American” refers to people having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicated their race or races as “Black, African Am., or Negro,” or wrote in entries such as African American, Afro American, Nigerian, or Haitian.

“American Indian and Alaska Native” refers to people having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. It includes people who indicated their race or races by marking this category or writing in their principal or enrolled tribe, such as Rosebud Sioux, Chippewa, or Navajo.


SETCTION II: Change and Reference Point

According to an article of New York Times, an American scholar said that people are feeling a compelling need for a change, so that “what is an issue is no longer a matter.”

In anything, American people like to see a change that will give them a sense of relief or a sense of assurance.

But, you need a point of reference against any change in measuring progress toward a target level of a change.

Now, I suppose the reference point is the incumbent US President himself.

Maybe, another reference point is the New Orleans’ ordeal and the subprime loan issue in addition to large-scale mountain fires in California.

But who want a change most?

In general analysis, poor “white,” rich and poor “minorities,” and aspiring Americans, mostly youths wanting to be rich and richer, want a change that can be translated into more money and respect on their side.

The more they are compelled to any actions for any change, the more they look like voting for the candidate “Obama” supported by a huge fund brought in even through convenient channels over the Internet based on certain advanced software.


SETCTION III: True Distinction and True Change

According to "Hinkon Taikoku Amerika (Poverty Great Nation America)" written by Japanese female author Ms. Mika Tsutsumi, some US statiscs are truly bleak:
( http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%AB%E3%83%9D%E8%B2%A7%E5%9B%B0%E5%A4%A7%E5%9B%BD%E3%82%A2%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AA%E3%82%AB-%E5%B2%A9%E6%B3%A2%E6%96%B0%E6%9B%B8-%E6%96%B0%E8%B5%A4%E7%89%88-1112-%E6%9C%AA%E6%9E%9C/dp/4004311128 )

The number of Americans who receive Medicaid is 53.4 million as of 2005;

The infant/child mortality rate in the U.S. is 6.3 per 1000, which is the worst among developed countries (2.29 per 1000 for Japan which is the fourth lowest in the world);

The number of Americans who received food stamps was 26.2 million in 2006; and

The number of Americans living below the poverty line was 36.5 million in 2006.

Roughly speaking lower 20% of the US population is suffering poverty, grave poverty, or extreme poverty.

On the other hand, higher 10% of US households have an asset of one million dollars or more.

But, the rest of 70% Americans are traditionally divided into 40 to 30 in their sense of identification or belonging between the rich and the poor, since two thirds of “white men” are believed to be rich, thus making the political parity even between Republicans and Democrats, almost 50% to 50% as proven in the recent Presidential Election.

However, due to intensification of mal-distribution of wealth, competition linked to the global market, and IT-driven financial babble making the rich richer and the poor poorer, the ratio is getting to 35 to 35, thus 45% of Americans supporting the current system and 55% of Americans requesting a change, in this context.

But, I don’t think simply electing a female candidate or a minority candidate as US President cannot be a true solution.

It is because the sense of urgency for a change in this era is a religious matter rather than an economic or system matter.

What they need is not a Presidential Election Revolution but a Religious Revolution, definitely.

In Japan, yesterday, a new mayor was elected in a city, near Hiroshima, where about 60 US Navy fighter planes are going to be newly deployed from their base near Tokyo.

http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200802110053.html

Just by a margin, a candidate, backed by the ruling parties, who supports the US military’s transformation plan was elected.

In this context, even in Japan where 99% of the population shares the same culture, traditions, and a sense of racial belonging, 50% of the people are against the ruling parties and another 50% of the people are supporting them in a municipal election where presence of US jet fighters is at stake, though China and North Korea are still basically unfriendly to Japan, for example, in terms of Japanese abductees by a North Korean secret agency.




(This is the Year of the Rat.

According to ancient-East Asian principles of Yin and Yang or the positive and negative, the rat represents a positive nature, but not a burgeoning one as seen in a new born baby. It is rather shaky positive.

Japan’s Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda actually once said that he would work diligently like a beaver or a rat, since 2008 is the year of the rat.

I was born, however, neither in the Year of the Rat nor in the Year of, say, the Snake.)

Your Heart will Burst and Cry

(Votre coeur va éclater et se met à pleurer)


Yesterday it was cloudy and often snowing all around Tokyo.

The last week before these three consecutive holidays from Saturday to Monday in Japan for ordinary company workers, it was cloudy and often snowing all around Tokyo where the meeting of G7 finance ministers and central bank chiefs was held on the weekend, actually in the wake of the subprime loan tragedy that is still making so many US economic victims cry their hearts out.

http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nb20080210a1.html

Now Sunday morning in Japan, Japan's Finance Minister is speaking in a popular Sunday morning TV discussion/interview show which I have checked and observed for the first time this year.

He said that in the free society the financial sector can freely develop financial commodity but they must clearly present detailed information on risks accompanying the commodity to reinforce discipline in their business.

The Minister said that EU is rather afraid of inflation, Japan has been less influenced by the sub-prime loan issue, and the US is coping with the situation by lowering interest.

The Minister said that Japanese political community should make efforts to have trillion dollars Japanese households have and also a huge overseas fund be invested in the stock market and other financial market in Japan.

But, one commentator in the studio said that the advanced financial market will be eventually full of con artists, according to a classical economics theory.

Yesterday, I happened to see last part of the movie "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" on a cable TV.

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

It is not Mr. Tommy Lee Jones, who nowadays plays an interesting role in a Japanese TV commercial for certain canned coffee, but beautiful landscape of a boarder area between the U.S. and Mexico that made me just stop changing the channel for something worthy.

And, the American hero of the story recalled words his unfortunately killed Mexican friend had once proudly said: Jimenes is a beautiful village surrounded by the mountains and valleys that will have your heart cry for heart-rending sorrow as it cannot bear such beautiful of the scenery.

Great Nation America with Great Poverty

(Guided by Holy Spirit on a snowy day in Tokyo)



Great Nation America with Great Poverty

(Grande nation d'Amérique avec une grande pauvreté)


SECTION I: Yesterday at a Book Shop

Yesterday I went to a book shop nearby. I knew I had to buy something there, since I felt that the God requested me to do so.

First, I checked books written by some Japanese politicians, ex-lawmakers, or critics who had been regarded as enemies of the ruling parties.

But, before I found such books, I spotted a book that had taken my attention weeks ago on the Internet.

So, I realized that I came there to buy the book published on January 22, 2008 in Japan: "Hinkon Taikoku Amerika (Poverty Great Nation America)" written by Japanese female author Mika Tsutsumi.

(http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%AB%E3%83%9D%E8%B2%A7%E5%9B%B0%E5%A4%A7%E5%9B%BD%E3%82%A2%E3%83%A1%E3%83%AA%E3%82%AB-%E5%B2%A9%E6%B3%A2%E6%96%B0%E6%9B%B8-%E6%96%B0%E8%B5%A4%E7%89%88-1112-%E6%9C%AA%E6%9E%9C/dp/4004311128 )

The Japanese female author had been to the U.S. to have a happy life, but eventually came back to Japan to tell Japanese people that there are tens of millions of unhappy or poor people in the American society, though she graduated from a university in New York and worked in a United Nation organization and the Amnesty International.


SECTION II: This Morning New York Times Online

This morning I found a very big news on New York Times Online:

In the largest sweep in recent memory, federal and New York State authorities on Thursday rounded up scores of accused organized crime figures who were indicted on charges including murder, racketeering, construction extortions and the looting of union benefit funds....

The crimes charged in the federal indictment span three decades and include racketeering conspiracy, murder, extortion, theft of union benefits loan-sharking, securities fraud, conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana, money laundering and illegal gambling.

Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, who oversees the Organized Crime Task Force, said the case was built in large part with the aid of an informer who won the confidence of Gambino crime family figures and helped record hundreds of hours of mob conversations.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/07/nyregion/07cnd-mob.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Indeed, ultimately the Mafia will shake hands with terrorists, since they both do not respect security and safety of hard-working and law-abiding US taxpayers, voters, citizens, and consumers.

Now, we are waiting for good news on this issue from EU, since it is said that there are many gangsters in EU coming from East Europe and China in addition to those from a certain island of Italy.

And, the War on Gangsters should be the first agenda for next US President yet to be.


SECTION III: Last Night BBC Internet Radio

They presented some Afghan people in their radio broadcast.

In Tokyo, a two-day meeting of the Afghanistan Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board (JCMB) was held a few days ago with 13 Afghan Cabinet ministers attending.

http://www.asahi.com/english/Herald-asahi/TKY200802060086.html .

Some Afghan youths were talking in BBC's interview that their country would be a great country in future in very fluent English.

Japan pledged about 100 million dollars to further aid the country plagued with opium, terror, war damage, and various kinds of oppression since the US, UK, and NATO military invasion and manoeuvre to attack Taliban and AlQaeda
* * *

Now, you know what is at stake.

With tens of millions of rich Americans criminally neglecting tens of millions of poor Americans, terrorists and gangsters will find a big chance for their operations in the US society and in their wars against the US Government.

Those gangsters and terrorists would rather allow themselves to point at existence and presence of those rich Americans criminally neglecting tens of millions of poor Americans by way of excuse for their killings.

For example, 55% of African Americans have purchased a house on the sub-prime loan credit.

The ratio is 46% for Hispanic Americans; and only 17% for "White Americans," according to Ms. Tsutsumi's book.

The solution is of course a US Religious Revolution where tens of millions of poor Americans are directly saved by the God who punishes tens of millions of rich Americans in addition to gangsters and terrorists wherever they are hiding.

Vote for a believer who listens to EEE Reporter!



(The next Monday is a Japan's National Holiday, to your surprise, which is National Foundation Day.

It is based on myth rather than historical science. The First Emperor of Japan, "Jin-Mu," is believed to have acceded to the Imperial throne on this day 2667 years ago.

February 12 is the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, a symbolic person who might be part of a US Religious Revolution, secular or unsecular.

Now, you may like to start to think if you should be part of holy glory or a material mirage such as a piece of chocolate sold ostentatiously in New York, Paris, and Tokyo without love to the poor starving to death...)

A Rock on Another Mountain Telling Truth

(Un rocher sur une autre montagne raconte la vérité.)



SECTION I: Arkansas and Tennessee Hardest Hit

The outcomes of Super Tuesday must be further studied, since Heaven gave a severe warning:

Residents in five Southeastern states rose Wednesday to widespread clusters of destruction caused by an unusually ferocious winter tornado system. At least 52 people were killed and scores more were injured...
Arkansas and Tennessee were the hardest hit, with Arkansas reporting 13 dead and Tennessee 28....

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/07/us/07tornado.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Arkansas and Tennessee are two states where the former US President and the Vice President, both Democrats, are deeply rooted in their political lives.


SECTION II: 80% for "Obama" in Tokyo

A Japan's news program, one of a few TV programs I often only see these days, reported last night that Americans supporting Mr. Barack Obama accounted for 80% of those who registered for the overseas primary voting as Democrats in Tokyo.

A Japanese reporter in New York also reported that the undecided competition between "Hillary" and "Obama" would further continue as long as they have necessary money, pleasing a female news caster in a Tokyo TV studio, while the prospect of Japan's General Election is getting remote.


SECTION III: Who Supports Who?

A Japanese newspaper this morning reported that the poor, the elder, and the not-highly educated support "Hillary."

The rich, the young, and the highly educated support "Obama."

If this competition is between "Condoleezza" and "Hillary," I might choose the former, since the former looked like more suitable for taking a part in a US Religious Revolution.


SECTION IV: Who Said What?

UK Guardian online reads:

But the next president will be different. He or she will not be able to respond to economic recession merely by boosting defence spending and cutting taxes and social programmes, as Mr Bush did in his budget this week. Nor will the next president be a climate-change denier. Mr Bush's successor will think twice before tearing up treaties or undermining international institutions and, if they are a Democrat, will think three times before playing at being a soldier.

The primaries have exposed an anxious mood of self-inquiry as well as a thirst for change. Much of the debate may proceed in a direction which makes America more protectionist and isolationist.

Mrs Clinton found that the economy resonated more than Iraq. The looming recession, house repossessions, affordable healthcare, keeping jobs in the country, border control and immigration are the issues that grip the nation.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2253544,00.html

So, the English must be backing "Hillary."

Indeed, "Hillary" must have better understanding of a situation around Princess Diana.

Also, another Guardian article reads:

Yesterday morning I heard a BBC radio correspondent say: "Remember, of course, that Ohio is a swing state in American elections."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,,2253636,00.html

Truly, Ohio is a place with a great story behind it, which goes back to the era of George Washington and Indian Chief "Little Turtle."
* * *

In my theory, a wife of a president or a prime minister plays a decisive role not only as such but also as a wife of a candidate according to, and depending on, situations of the era.

In this context, Mrs. Nancy Reagan was very unique and mystic, matching the era of the end of the doomful Cold War. After her, only wives of the Bushes ran the White House except ex-able female lawyer Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

In Japan, no one knows who the wife of still influential former Prime Minister Mr. Mori is; everybody knows that then next Prime Minister Mr. Koizumi has been long divorced; no one talks about whether then next Prime Minister Mr. Abe has children; but it is widely assumed that incumbent Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda has a son, serving his father as his secretary, and the sophisticated wife from the upper class of Japan.

Finally, in this regard, I really think that the death of Princess Diana in Paris foretold the ensuing fates of the political leaders in countries concerned.

Of course, Japan is included there, since I am highly concerned.


(It is said that Mrs. Abe asked her husband to think about retirement from politics, since Mr. Shinzo Abe reached the top position, Japan's Prime Minister, but was forced to resign by his physical and psychological conditions.

However, it is reportedly said that Mr. Abe is looking forward to another chance for comeback that might come in a decade.

Indeed, if JFK had waited for a decade to run for US Presidency, his son should have been able to become US President even today after his two uncles.

Truly, a girl cannot wait for ten years; but a young man must sometimes wait for a decade, another decade, and 30 years in case, so that a young soldier could become a president or a presidential candidate if not a caesar.

I respect the Vietnam War hero Mr. John McCain, since nowadays some people in Vietnam are acting like Chinese brainwashed by big money.)

"DUDE, WHERE'S MY COUNTRY?"

(Around Shinjyuku Station on Snowy Sunday, Tokyo)




"DUDE, WHERE'S MY COUNTRY?"

(Ami, où est mon pays?)



US President Mr. George W. Bush has still one year ahead in office. One year is a lot of days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milli-seconds.

As the largest mission the President has been entrusted to is finding the solution to end threats of terrorism and carrying it out, I'd like to contribute some to it, since Japan is an allied nation with the U.S., though the Japanese Constitution forbids involvement of Japan's Self-Defense Force in war except for homeland defense.

Mr. Michael Moore wrote some according to his conscience in his book "DUDE, WHERE'S MY COUNTRY?" in 2003:

...Bush's program of homeland security is providing us no security at all. If you want real security, I suggest you consider my ideas that will definitely make America a safe country:

1. Catch Osama bin Laden.
...My theory: He's back home in Saudi Arabia being protected by those who have been funding him and getting him the medical help he needs for his failing kidneys...

2. (omitted)

3. Propping up existing dictators does not endear us to the people living under the rule of those dictators.
...Our history of siding with the wrong guy is extensive...Saddam and the Saudi royals are only the start of the long list...

4. When attempting to prop up a Latin American dictator, try to do it without killing too many nuns or archbishops.

5. (omitted)

6. It might be good to find out why hundreds of millions of people on the three continents, stretching from Morocco on the Atlantic to the Philippines in the Pacific, are so pissed off about Israel.

7. Five percent of the world's population (that's us) use up 25 percent of the entire world's energy resources, and the well-off 16 percent, mostly the U.S., Europe, and Japan, use up 80 percent of the world's goods.
...To some, this seems to be a little greedy, and it's got to change...

8. We need to offer the world a drink of water.
...Right now, 1.3 billion people can't have a glass of clean water...

9. People should be able to buy the products they are making.
...Or how about the worker in El Salvador who makes 24 cents for each $140 NBA jersey she produces?...

10. No child must be a salve laborer.

11. When we kill civilians we shouldn't call it "collateral damage."

12. (omitted)

13. (omitted)

14. We must immediately disavow Bush's preemptive war policy.
...We need to slam shut this insane Pandora's box Bush and Cheney have opened...

15. (omitted)

16. Stop terrorizing our own citizens with the Patriot Act.

17. (omitted)

18. And finally...let's set a good example.
...When you treat people well, 99.9 percent of time they respond in kind.
* * *

I am writing these, since it will be a significant and grave problem in future if a US President at last cannot arrest criminals and bring them to justice who killed about 3,000 innocent civilians at the center of New York and DOD in daylight, while the culprits have been clearly identified as they already confessed their guilty deeds.

In future, the US military success in Iraq would probably not be highly regarded, but its failure in taking Mr. Osama bin Laden and his fellows in charge and bringing them to a real court of justice would be gravely criticized.

It is because ultimately stability, peace, and prosperity in the region from Israel to the Persian Gulf can be assured through international cooperation and collaboration including United Nations operations, but the act of terror on the U.S. should be firsthand dealt with and solved sufficiently by the US Government presenting a good example of judiciary conducts to the world.

Everybody know the fact and the details of the 9/11 Terror. Everybody knows who did it. Everybody has his own idea about where the guilty party is hiding. Everybody knows that the US Government can spend tens of billions of dollars for operations of apprehension and capture of them. Everybody knows that US Government can mobilize tens of thousands of troops for operations of apprehension and capture of them. Everybody knows that President Mr. George W. Bush was already given seven years and is still given one more year to carry out this single task and related missions.

Yet, if the Bush Administration cannot apprehend the terrorists who conducted the 9/11 Terror in September 2001, history will really suffer from reasoning why.
* * *

However, ironically, it is also a fact that the Islamic Persian Gulf States have become extremely rich, to the extent to bolstering the Wall Street in New York, during the reign of President Mr. Bush.

However, ironically, it is also a fact that the Israel and Saudi Arabia are now exposed to far less menaces and threats from Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan (with AlQaeda).

However, ironically, it is also a fact that the global oil market has now the minimum assurance of stability and security of provision of crude oil due to the tangible US presence in the Middle East.

Nonetheless, justice should be done on behalf of 4,000 people killed on September 11, 2001 in New York and Washington DC as well as in Bali, Madrid, London, and other places from North Africa to India in the following years.

President Mr. George W. Bush has still 11 months. I hope he will do his best in this regard until the last minute of his time in the White House, like a baseball pitcher on the mound in the 1-0 game with two down but bases fully loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, taking two strikes against the last batter, say, Babe Ruth in the final game of the World Series.



(Have you seen the movies "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Sicko?"

To tell the truth, I haven't yet.

Nonetheless, I hope the movie director Mr. Moore will produce a new one titled, say, "US Religious Revolution."

You may be able to take part in it, though there are many Mafia-girl-like actresses in the United States.

Rather, you might like to play a certain role in a possible movie a Japanese Michael Moore, if any, might produce under the title "ALWAYS - Drug Disaster in San-Choume [the Third District]" or "ALWAYS - Imported Foods Disaster in San-Choume," since the movie "ALWAYS - The Sunset in San-Choume" has been a big hit in Japan.

Have a nice night tonight, too!
[Passez une bonne nuit ce soir!])

Israelite-American US President Yet to Be

(Snowy Shinjyuku, Tokyo)



Israelite-American US President Yet to Be

(Un juif-président des États-Unis d'Amérique est encore loin d'être réalisé)




Now, it is still the morning of Tuesday in Japan; we are yet to hear the outcomes of the Large-Scale Primary Voting in the U.S.


SECTION I: America's Moment of Truth

---
February 3, 2008

I heard Bill Clinton make a speech which included the hilarious claim that his current vocation is 'post-politics'. The lie to that was given when the former President turned attack dog for his wife. He outraged many liberal commentators and members of his own party by trying to devalue Obama's triumph in South Carolina by likening it to Jesse Jackson's victories there in the Eighties. In other words, he's just another black guy winning black votes, it's down to the colour of his skin and not the quality of his arguments. It was - and it has been seen as such - an attempt to ghettoise Obama as the black candidate he has never wanted to be. The Clintons' dabbling with racial politics caused a tremendous backlash within the ranks of their own party. It spurred Ted Kennedy - who had angry phone conversations with Bill - into his endorsement. It also prompted the Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, who once dubbed Bill 'the first black President', to back Obama...

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/focus/story/0,,2251474,00.html
---

However, if Mr. Bill Clinton cannot save the face of his wife, he should not have allowed her to run for the Presidential Race at all, in my very personal view.


SECTION II: "Sen. Joe Lieberman"

---
February 1st, 2008

The White House Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), created under the Intelligence Reform and Terrorist Prevention Act of 2004 is history, having gone out of business on Wednesday. I am grateful to the board members’ service over the past three years. Unfortunately, the White House has failed to send Congress any nominees for the stronger replacement board, created in the Implementing the 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act of 2007.

I am concerned that the lack of transition planning to the new board has created a gap in the oversight needed to respond to the ongoing threat of terrorism. The President should move swiftly to nominate members to the new board so they can get to work protecting the public’s privacy and civil liberties as we work to protect the country against terrorism...

http://blog.thehill.com/2008/02/01/oversight-gap-must-be-filled-sen-joe-lieberman/#more-5224
---

Mr. Joe Lieberman's personality is very easy-to-understand. He must be basically very happy living in the US society where everybody speaks of God more often than Jesus Christ or the Messiah.


SECTION III: "Little Turtle" vs. George Washington

George Washington could not be hired by English military as a regular officer.

George Washington and his fellows wanted the land north and west of the Ohio River.

George Washington and his fellows could not stand the British's reluctance to invade the land north and west of the Ohio River still occupied by Native Americans.

So, just after the winning of the independence war, George Washington sent his generals and soldiers, who must have been rather professionals remained after the war against England, to the Ohio River to wipe out indigenous insurgents, namely "Indians," in order to tackle the true issue which was the key reason for the independence.

However, the Native American hero "Little Turtle" and other warriors twice defeated the expeditionary force.

George Washington must have felt extreme pressure until he received the message that the third expeditionary force at last crushed the "Indian" troops, though this time "Little Turtle" was not in charge of command in chief of Native American coalition troops.

Every subsequent battle between the Native American warriors and the US Army, which continued until the late 19th century, was thus just a second edition of this decisive war between "Little Turtle" and George Washington which however resulted in official recognition of Native American tribes as an entity that has a diplomatic right against the US Government.
* * *

The U.S. will have a female President or an African American President someday, provided she or he is Christian.

But, an Israelite American President may be really difficult to be, though Mr. Lieberman was once a candidate for the Vice President.

But, after the emergence of an Israelite American President, we may have a Native-American U.S. President.

In the 22nd century, US citizens may even change the name of Washington DC to "Little Turtle DC."

But, for the time being, my most adventurous concern is a possibility of an Israelite American becoming a US President, or another possibility of the nation Israel becoming an annexed territory of the United States of America as the 51st state.

Which is Easier [or More Difficult]?

(Quel est le plus facile?)


When asked by a white-shirt-wearing tough Japanese reporter about impressions on Japan during their busy greeting procession to supporters, according to Japan's FUJI TV news show,

Mr. Barack Obama said somehow sternly, "I love Japan"; and

Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton said largely smiling, "Good!"


Mar 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

Mar 2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

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?

Reflection on the Davos Forum and Chinese Secret Operation

(North of Tokyo in Winter)



Reflection on the Davos Forum and Chinese Secret Operations

(Réflexion sur le forum de Davos et le chinois opération secrète)



Now it is past the Sunday noon in Japan.

Snow is falling here and there in and around Tokyo.

I planned to take off work on EEE Reporter today, but late last night I watched a cable TV broadcast, a rare occasion for me in these days for some reasons, on a debate in the Davos Forum and felt like writing some even this Sunday.

It is Mr. George Soros' expression that got my attention: "The sixty year credit expansion based on US dollar as a key currency is going to end," or some meaning like that.

It was also impressive that Mr. Lawrence Summers supported, not as a panel but an audience at the front line of the seminary hall, an idea on installing a sheriff to monitor the world monetary system Mr. Soros proposed.

---
A New Sheriff

Finally, Soros proposed the motion that the financial world needs a new sheriff. Left to their own devices, markets go from "euphoria to despair", he said. Globalization has allowed the US to suck up the savings of the world and consume 6% more than it produces. What the world is now witnessing is the end of a 60-year-old credit system based on the dollar. "I think we are seeing the end of the dollar as the international currency and we need a new sheriff," he said.

But, Nandan M. Nilekani, Executive Co-Chairman, Infosys Technologies, India; Member of the Foundation Board of the World Economic Forum, dismissed the idea as "impracticable, irrelevant and implausible." He said that the origin of the current woes is essentially domestic and, therefore, it is up to national institutions to resolve them. If existing international institutions are not able "to get their act together" in areas such as trade and the environment, there is little hope for any new financial sheriff. "The solution is certainly not a new sheriff who cannot shoot straight," he said.

From the floor, a participant said there is a need to reform existing institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund, to make them more representative. Summers said that he agreed with Soros that the authorities need to do what they have not been doing, but he doubted that this will involve the creation of a new sheriff. "We have a lot of people with sheriff responsibilities but they have been averting their gaze," he said. Another participant suggested that a new international steering committee is needed to bring together the world’s three economic superpowers – the US, the EU and China. Gurria urged better coordination and above all better communication between the financial authorities and the markets.

The vote went 25% to 75% against a new sheriff.

http://www.weforum.org/en/knowledge/KN_SESS_SUMM_23393?url=/en/knowledge/KN_SESS_SUMM_23393
---

Additionally, another motivation for my writing today is related to the above another participant's comment: "Another participant suggested that a new international steering committee is needed to bring together the world’s three economic superpowers – the US, the EU and China."

This statement implies two things:
(1) Chinese secret agency's activities in the Davos Forum:

The Chinese Communist Party now has a huge budget for their activities to influence prominent people in the world, including Japan and the U.S.

You have to remember that China also used a huge fund to prevent Japan from becoming a permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations a couple of years ago.

Chinese secret agencies are still actively involved in acquiring people who would act and speak in accordance with the strategic plan of the Chinese Communist Party.

So, in Davos, some participants spoke, as if so influenced or brainwashed by the Chinese Communist Party, in order to harm reputation of Japan, a responsible contributor to the global financial stability in decades, and misleadingly praise China, an irresponsible new comer to the global financial stage without respecting democracy, freedom, human rights, and the Holy Books including the Gospel.


(2) The lack of understanding the true state and structure of Chinese economy:

Most of participants in the Davos Forum did not look like having read a report issued by Congressional Research Service:

---
[Table 1: China’s Foreign Exchange Reserves and Overall Current Account Surplus: 1995-2006

1995.......US$ 75.4 billion
1996..........107.0 billion
1997..........142.8 billion
1998..........149.2 billion
1999..........157.7 billion
2000.........168.3 billion
2001.........215.6 billion
2002.........291.1 billion
2003.........403.3 billion
2004.........609.9 billion
2005.........818.9 billion
2006........1066.3 billion]

(In 2007, the ranking of countries with larger foreign exchange reserves:
China...1528 bn
Japan.... 973 bn
EU......... 501 bn
Russia....478 bn
India.......288 bn
Taiwan....270 bn
South Korea..262 bn)

Chinese data indicate that the share of China’s exports produced by foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) in China has risen dramatically over the past several years.

As indicated in Table 5, in 1986, only 1.9% of China’s exports were from FIEs, but by 1996, this share had risen to 40.7%, and by 2006 it had risen to 58.2%.

A similar pattern can be seen with imports: FIEs accounted for only 5.6% of China’s imports in 1986, rose to 47.9% by 2000, and to 59.7% in 2006.

FIEs import raw materials and components (much of which come from East Asia) for assembly in China, after which point, much of the final product is exported. As a result, China tends to run trade deficits with East Asian countries and trade surpluses with countries with high consumer demand, such as the United States.

These factors have led many analysts to conclude that much of the increase in U.S. imports (and hence, the rising U.S. trade deficit with China) is a result of China becoming a production platform for many foreign companies (who are the largest beneficiaries from this arrangement), rather than unfair Chinese trade policies.

The rising importance of FIEs may represent a fundamental change in trade between China and the United States that could affect the bilateral trade deficit independently of the exchange rate regime.

http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/crs/rl32165.pdf
---

In sum, Chine is not yet in a position to guide the world, but China must continue to be monitored, supervised, and led by stakeholders such as Japan and the United States.

I once wrote that you should not trust in rich people gathering at the Davos Forum.

Indeed, some participants looked like acting for further boosting dangerous credit and credibility given to China for China's selfish interest in the coming era of limited natural resources.

Truly, the Chinese Communist Party is trying hard to survive without giving democracy, freedom, and safety to its one billion poor farmers and laborers while leveraging its position in the global economic structure and regime that has been bolstered by Japan peacefully for decades, since Japan has had no intention to politically control the world including China.
* * *

The God has let the French bank's huge loss exposed as a timely warning to the Davos Forum.

If one employee in a bank in Europe could cause a billion dollars loss, what is a merit in such talks in Davos?

Financial security in the world today seems to be supported by an ethical level of workers in the financial sector, in addition to hard-working honest people in various sectors in the world.

But, there must be a big difference between dollars simply accumulated by some Islamic countries and Russia timely selling crude oil, dollars accumulated by China owing to business activities of foreign companies in China and their huge investment, and dollars earned by Japan, Taiwan, Korea, etc. due to hard work of their people in real industries in a tested manner based on their honest research and development activities for decades.

The Hero "Little Turtle"

The Hero "Little Turtle"

(Le héros "Petite Tortue")



In American high schools, or middle schools and elementary schools in the United States, they should teach more about Native Americans, including the hero Little Turtle.

---
In the Treaty of Paris (1783) which ended the American Revolutionary War, the British abandoned their native allies and signed over the land between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River to the United States. The Americans considered the region to be theirs by right of conquest, and with the creation of the Northwest Territory in 1787 they began to divide the land north of the Ohio River for settlement.

Violence escalated and Native Americans formed the Western Confederacy with the goal of keeping the Ohio River as a boundary between Indian lands and the United States. Little Turtle emerged as one of the leaders of this confederacy, which included Shawnees under Blue Jacket and Delawares under Buckongahelas. The war which followed has no generally accepted name, but was once known as "Little Turtle's War".

In 1790, the United States sent an expedition under the command of General Josiah Harmar to bring an end to the border war. Because the United States had mostly disbanded its military after the Revolution, it had few professional soldiers to send into battle, a weakness which Little Turtle and other native leaders fully exploited.

In October 1790, Little Turtle and Blue Jacket won two victories against Harmar's men. These successes encouraged previously reluctant leaders among the Ottawas and Wyandots to join the confederacy. In 1791, Little Turtle and Blue Jacket defeated another American expedition, this time led by General Arthur St. Clair. It was the worst defeat the Americans would ever suffer at the hands of American Indians with some 623 American soldiers killed in action. According to the most popular version of the story, Little Turtle was in overall command of the army that defeated St. Clair, although other accounts suggest that Blue Jacket was the preeminent native leader.[11]

A third expedition under the command of General Anthony Wayne gave Little Turtle pause; U.S. troops were of superior numbers and had just completed rigorous training. After an exploratory attack on Fort Recovery in June 1794, Little Turtle counseled negotiation rather than battle, remarking that Wayne "never sleeps." According to a widely circulated story, he ceded command to Blue Jacket, although retaining leadership of the Miami tribesmen. The confederacy, numbering around 1,000 men, was defeated at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.

This battle forced the confederacy to sign the Treaty of Greenville.

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

In American high schools, or middle schools and elementary schools in the United States, they should teach the Treaty of Greenville that admits that Native Americans are entities the US Government should deal with in a diplomatic manner between two sovereigns.　

George Washington is said, in one theory, to have hated Native Americans but loved the vast and rich land the so-called "Indians" had occupied, which turned to be one of the major motivations of George Washington and other wealthy or greedy "white men" for independence from England.

It is not only because George Washington was a member of the Freemasons, if not anti-Christ or anti-Vatican, but also because he was just a spiritual descendant of Europeans who had immigrated to North America leaving unhappiness and misery in Europe, however, in order not to help Native Americans and convey the Gospel to them

http://peterepublic.org/archives/2007/08/george_washington_freemason.html

From a religious point of view, the Gospel must have reached the New Continent America through any channels, sooner or later.

Nonetheless, I could not help but get disappointed, since emigrant Europeans did not think that they would have been punished by the God if they had treated Native Americans badly or more badly than they had been treated in Europe as poor citizens in the society mostly regulated by the authority of the Vatican.

So, the Religious Revolution in the United States expected to emerge sooner or later should also include the reattempting to preach the Gospel among Native Americans.

It is because it is said that six million or more Native Americans were killed directly or indirectly by emigrant Europeans equipped with advanced fire arms and horse power.

Holy Justice is yet to be done on the New Continent America.


(Once a little girl implied that I looked like a turtle.

Of course, her blue eyes must see something invisible as she was an infant linked with an angel, if she did not know that a turtle and a crane are two sacred living things in Japan traditionally.

I went to Ginza the other day.

It is only to show that I don't hate Ginza.

Additionally, it is to show Ginza to people outside Japan, including overseas Japanese and foreigners learning Japanese who have not seen it for a long time or not at all, for some precautions.

Even Mr. Michael Moore might like those pictures.


SECTION I: "DEAR GEORGE"

"All those men roaming around the White House - Dick, Rummy, Colin - not a single one is a pal of yours!...

But you're one of us - a Boomer, a C student, a partier! What the hell are you doing with that crowd?...

They probably didn't tell you that the tax cut they drew up for you to sign was a swindle to take money from the middle class and give it to the super-rich..."
- Mr. Michael Moore -

Mr. Michael Moore wrote the book "STUPID WHITE MEN," which was finely timed and published, namely after 2000 Presidential Election but before 2001 Terror on New York and the Pentagon.

It might be regarded as an unbiased assessment on President Mr. George W. Bush, since history is at its every moment.


SECTION II: "IDIOT NATION"

"...George W. Bush spoke proudly of having been a mediocre student at Yale. 'And to the C students, I say you, too, can be President of the United States!'....

Recently a group of 556 seniors at fifty-five prestigious American universities (e.g., Harvard, Yale, Stanford) were given a multiple-choice test consisting of questions that were described as 'high school level.' Thirty-four questions were asked. These top students could only answer 53 percent of them correctly. And only one student got them all right.

A whopping 40 percent of these students did not know when the Civil War took place..."
- Mr. Michael Moore -


If you have too large money and too powerful military, you might not be highly motivated to give truly excellent education and discipline to young people in the society and the nation.

If the White House, the Congress, the State Department, the Defense Department, the Treasury Department, FBI, and CIA are all filled with those students after graduation, they cannot control behaviors and attitudes of businesses in the defense sector, the financial sector, the medical sector, and the oil sector as well as other industries.

So, the 9/11 terror should occur; the subprime loan problem should occur; and you would have no other choices but "Hillary" or "Obama" eventually, good or bad.


SECTION IV: "Tallahassee Hi-Ho"

"Privately, I think most people in the Nader camp thought what I thought - that once Gore had a chance to wipe the floor with Bush in a debate, the election would be over..."
- Mr. Michael Moore -

This is significance.

Michael, I also saw the debate on TV in 2000. Mr. Bush looked like falling on his face in the debate hall. Mr. Al Gore sternly pointed at the lack of concrete figures in words Mr. Bush awkwardly delivered as a defense in front of a TV camera.

The atmosphere the Democrat Presidential candidate Mr. Al Gore too confidently displayed in that well-known debate reminded me of some elite Israelite Americans that had harmed Japan at the height of the reign of then President Mr. Bill Clinton.

I, honestly, mused, "God should help George Bush under the attack by US intellectual elites."

And, he was elected as US President eventually, to your and our astonishment.
* * *

And seven years later, the God has showed us some more interesting showdowns:
Mr. Al Gore got the Nobel Prize; Mr. Michael Moore also got rewarded with big film prizes, even in France, and became a globally famous man; and Mr. George W. Bush has so far succeeded in maintaining discipline in the White House while protecting the two most sacred cities in the world, Jerusalem and Mecca. 　

And, if you have a glass of beer, you don't feel danger in drinking together with George or Michael, so long as they are ordinary citizens which they should be.



(Oh, Mlle., I saw Paris on an NHK TV channel yesterday.

Ms. Hiroko Kuniya, a very succesfull Japanese TV moderator, didn't look like a Parisienne.

Paris itself didn't look like Paris, though I could spot the Eiffel Tower standing in the cold over her and the Seine.

However, her report on education in Europe, especially in Finland, is very instructive.

It is not knowledge, logic, and even judgment, but a sense of mission in one's life, whether a belief in predetermination or not, isn't it?)



"FINAL WARNINGS AND GREETINGS"

(LETZTE WARNUNGEN UND GRUSSE)

Predestination

(Tokyo, truly)



Predestination

(Prédestination)




SECTION I: Thomas Edison

A unique and notable Japanese critic, Mr. Naoki Komuro, wrote that the reason why Thomas Edison could invent so many useful things lies in the predestination Edison must have believed in.

( http://diamond.jp/series/komuro/10002/?page=2 )

Edison said that one percent genius and 99% efforts are all you need for success.

But, to sustain the "99% efforts" in any business must be very difficult without a strong support from your talent and genius.

To sustain such a life needs a kind of belief.

And, the predestination or the pre-determinism can be the most effective belief for sustaining one's effort being carried out based on 1% talent and 99% efforts.

Edison's unusual concentration on activities for invention can be explained, Mr. Komuro wrote, by his belief in the predestination, since with such a belief you could avoid worry, anxiety, and any other psychological state that would hinder your concentration on a subject.


SECTION II: University vs. The Vatican

A unique and notable Japanese critic, Mr. Naoki Komuro, wrote on difference in universities between Japan and Europe. In his writing, what is interesting is as follows:

It was in the change from 12th to 13th centuries that the universities appeared in Europe, and it is not that there was no higher education institutes in Europe prior to this period. and there were some such schools here and there with fine teaching facilities and volumes of books available. However, it should be noted that these schools were all under conditions, and they were protected by power as long as they follow such conditions.

To be more concrete, these schools were made by churches and/or three powers. Therefore, it could be said that these schools were intended to train church leaders and officials of the King. Upon entering the 13th century from the 12th, there appeared some who were not satisfied with those educations, followed by the trend of pursuing learning, as free from power as ever. It is by the Crusade against Islam that this trend was motivated.

At that time, Islam enjoyed learning which was far more developed and improved than in the European countries, with more emphasis placed on studies of ancient Greece or Rome, and this is when the Europeans visiting Islam were so much intellectually stimulated by the Crusade that they came to think that they should improve the level of learning in Europe.

http://www.iond-univ.org/hawaii/komuro.html

Therefore, universities in the world might be basically regarded as a kind of enemies of the Vatican but a kind of friends of Islam.


SECTION III: Christianity and Islam

In my understanding, there were some critical defects in Christianity in and around the era when Islam emerged.

For mankind not to be harmed by those defects, I suppose that God or Allah vouchsafed Islam to mankind.

Indeed, with Islam, people in the Middle East 500 years ago could prevent invasion by Europeans, forcing Columbus to sail westward.

Truly, with Islam, people in the Middle East and other regions have been able to uphold the dignity of themselves, their families, their clans, their tribes, their societies, their nations, and their races against the violent power, for example, of the dollar and Euro even today.

The relationship between Christianity and Islam is critical in judging the future of the world and mankind.

Therefore, how the champion of Christianity of today, the U.S., is dealing with Muslims will decide the future.

If the framework of the human history was determined by the God when He created this universe, we should be allowed to exercise of freedom of our will at a higher level of the history which must be however intangible.

In the case, one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration should be effective, though inventing something invisible, such as harmony between Christians and Muslims in the American society, must be more instrumental and valuable for mankind today than inventing something visible, such as a stock market or a skyscraper.




(Indeed, we had better believe in one percent visible things and 99% invisible things.

Truly, it must be a key to understanding relationships among people and things in this society.

Now, good girls, how much could you believe in your destiny the God or Allah ordained, on the premise that we are all invisible?

Anyway, beauty of the heart and the mind should prevail more than that of physical appearance no matter if you are in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or Buddhism, or otherwise in India or China.)

Yesterday and Days Before

(Hier et jours avant)


I saw a pond nearby frozen almost all over its surface, 200m long, the day before yesterday.

I once gave a sparrow a humble lump of rice I was eating there, sitting on a bench looking down on the pond, as the tiny bird looked like a young mother that could not find food for her baby birds, since she flew away straight over the pond (and to her nest without eating it herself) when she caught her favorite white rice in the middle of the air as I just threw it up with my chopsticks near to her hovering space.


SECTION I: News Caster Flown to Europe

Last week, a certain news caster of Japan's NHK TV was absent.

I wondered where she took her vacation in this nonsense season.

I though she must be gone to America, since she graduated from a university in America, though fairly long time ago.

But, this week she has been presenting her interviews with some notable Europeans from Europe.

So, I realized it must be the Davos Forum that basically made her take a business trip to Europe.

However, there is a rumor in a certain knowledgeable community in Japan that an Euro bubble will burst sooner or later.

The dollar is getting weaker; Euro will lose confidence; and thus indeed Japan's Yen might be appreciated this time appropriately and justly.

One more thing, the former prime minister of Thailand is said to be staying in London. In Thailand, a party supporting this former prime minister won the recent election held in the aftermath of coups. But, there is a doubt in a certain knowledgeable community in Japan as to why British media would not report corruptions and criminal acts the former prime minister had been involved in during his reign in Thailand.

All I can say to Ms. Hiroko Kuniya is not to believe the Davos Forum and the British Government, because they will sacrifice Asia or abuse Asians in order to continue to be rich themselves.

It is because they still live with the paradigm of the colonial period.


SECTION II: State of the Union Message

A Japan's Fuji TV news program pointed at the fact that President Mr. George Bush did not mention North Korea at all in his address in the Congress.

Recently, words of Saddam Hussein in an interrogation by the US Military were released. I do not believe that Saddam Hussein spoke honestly or US officers honestly made the contents open.

When Mr. Bush took office in the White House seven years ago, there was a line of anti-Israel and anti-Saudi Arabia nations: Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.

After seven years in office, President Mr. Bush has succeeded in subduing Syria, defeating Iraq, restraining Iran, and controlling Afghanistan.

This is a brilliant success from a military point of view.

As a proof of his feats, not only Israel and Saudi Arabia are enjoying peace of dream but also Dubai and other Persian Gulf States are enjoying extreme prosperity, even bolstering the Wall Street in New York.

Very, very ironically, President Mr. Bush realized unthinkable peace and prosperity in the Middle East so far, though the President could neither capture Mr. Osama bin Laden nor bring him to justice while sacrificing a million Iraqi and Afghan people as well as thousands of US and allied officials and soldiers.

(Can "President Hillary" capture Mr. Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice?)

I hope that President Mr. Bush will add one more feat by making a peace treaty with North Korea, so that North Korean people will need no more dictatorial government.

Anyway, I really like to focus on Jerusalem and Mecca, and not much on Beijing where there are still no real democracy and freedom of thoughts and religions.


SECTION III: Because, Because I...

Q: Why are there so many unhappy people in this world?

A: It is because the glory of God will appear through their prayers to God asking for His help and mercy.

Q: Why are there so many victims in this society?

A: It is because the glory of God will appear through their prayers to God asking for His help and mercy.

Q: Why are there so many tragic incidents here and there?

A: It is because the glory of God will appear through prayers to God the people concerned will deliver asking for His help and mercy.

As the US Presidential Election campaign is getting heated up, more and more Japanese media people will fly to America for coverage.

However, I believe the center of the world is here.

The sun, the moon, and all the glorious stars are above my head.

All I wish is the Army of Heaven descend to destroy devils and demons rampaging on the earth like a simple moral play or a fairly tale story of a never-never land.

And then, the Vatican will learn how to read the Revelation of St. John the Divine, the Apocalypse, in the most pious manner to the Lord.



(If you go to London and Paris for a media coverage job, you don't look nice there, provided that you are 100% Asian.

You had better, Mlle., try to show the glory of God or European Civilization if you can, say, in Tokyo or Taipei.)
