"I Am Not Come of Myself"

(From Narita to Tokyo Central)

Hammering out High-Tech Bullet Train


Last night I realized that I had one wrong notion for a very long time since I first got on a "Shinkansen" super-express train decades ago to come to Tokyo from the west.

The curved outside design of the first car of the Shinkansen train was actually hand-made.

I thought the round shape and complex curve of the surface were created with some automatic tools, which was not right.

The hull at the nose of the train was made of metal plates curved and bent by craftsmen who used an iron hammer for this formation process.

Craftsmen of a small company hit each plate with a hammer to bend it following a design specified by engineers of Japan National Railways. Each plate was then welded together to form a head car where a train operator sits.

The Shinkansen express train, one of the fastest train since early 1960's, was thus formed manually, which I have never realized for 40 years. And, they say that even today head cars of the newest model of the Shinkansen train are processed this old way.

The president of the small company was 26 years old when he received an order from Japan National Railways. He thought that if he had failed to whatever degree in making precise curved surfaces for the first Shinkansen train, there would have been no orders after it. Under extreme pressure, however, his work was qualified and accepted. Since then his company has been in charge of hammering out the external, delicate surface of the driving car of the Shinkansen train, a Japanese symbol of its high technology of the 20th century.

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

Craftsmen are not respected in Korea, China, India, the Middle East, and Europe traditionally.

But, Japan is exceptional in this regard, too.

Ordinary people who are neither rich, noble, nor physically strong but work honestly and diligently to make manually art works, artifacts, or tools for daily use are respected as much as or more than rich merchants, landlords, bureaucrats, and sometimes samurais and noblemen in Japan from a thousand years ago.

Even there have been less stringent distinction between upper-class engineers and ordinary laborers in a workshop.

So, if a boy says that he wants to be a craftsman in future instead of a rich merchant, nobody thinks the boy is a fool.

That is why Japanese are very Buddhistic and more Judaistic, Christian, and Islamic than those who claim themselves to be in the world.

It is so, since it is said that Japanese workers have traditionally put his soul into his work if working in a small factory for wages, which no Chinese and no Americans can do for mere meager wages.

Joh 7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

Joh 7:26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

Joh 7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

Joh 7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

Two Sources of Evil of Civilization: Cars and Air Ports

When I was young, tragedies caused by industrial pollution started to catch eyes of the people in Japan and the U.S.

Accordingly, I decided not to get a driver's license, for cars were said to be a major source of pollution.

Indeed, decades ago, nobody talked about development of hybrid cars or electric cars.

Today, global warming has driven some people crazy to shout the need for reduction of CO2 in the air, leading to a boom of hybrid cars in Japan and the U.S.

The reason why I do not trust global elites who are now behaving like heroes to save the world through CO2 reduction is that I am sure that they never decided not to get a driver's license so as to prevent pollution decades ago or when they were young.

As for myself, I later got a driver's license for my mission around Tokyo, since the Japanese industry achieved high-quality of energy-saving technology and China came to look like going to advance into a huge market of automobiles.

When I was young, I saw many stupid Japanese people behaving more foolish after coming back from abroad, especially from Europe and America.

Indeed, traveling abroad is the easist way to feel like a hero when you come back home. You do not have to make any sincere efforts in school or a workshop, but just go abroad to be a hero at home when coming back. It is cheap and sly to become a populer person in this way.

Besides, Narita Airport was once a battle field between the Government and left-wing activists. Though it was a deplorable conflict over the Government's arrogant attitude to buy out the land for the air port, something deeply rooted in human rights and justice was involved.

So, I decided not to go abroad using Narita Airport though the insurgents were wiped away and the construction of the airport was proceeding well.

That is why I do not trust any Japanese human-right activists who use Narita Airport without hesitation, since they look like trying to be heroes using the once-bloody runways in a cheap manner of going abroad.

That is also why I did not respect Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II who without hesitation used Narita Airport, making stupid Japanese people more long for overseas trips.

Cars and international traveling from Narita Airport were once the two most abominable things for me.

Today, I can drive a car in my way and I can fly to any country in my way even through Narita; but I do not trust those who have never passed this test on a car and Narita Airport: Bad guys drove cars and fools flew from Narita.
*** *** *** ***

It was in late 1980's or early 1990's that my car got a trouble in an expressway of a big city in Western Japan, since I drove all the way for 550Km from Tokyo Expressway.

It was midnight and other cars were running at a speed of 80Km, or 100Km or more per hour.

The engine of my car got a trouble so that it suddenly could not run at a speed of more than 30Km per hour.

I could have stopped the car and made hazard lamps on, waiting for reuse, though cellular phones were not so available in those days.

Yet, other cars passing by, being driven by young men in the midnight in an expressway of a big city in Western Japan, made me feel it dangerous to urgently park the car on the non-free raised high-way.

So, I drove my car at the speed of 30Km per hour or so for 10 kilo-meters or so to reach a safe exit from the dangerous midnight loop expressway.

Though, even on ordinary city roads, some other cars were actually running at a speed of 80Km, or 100Km per hour, I could manage to drive my half-broken car for 15 or 20Km to my destination.

So, if you have a driving skill to drive your car at a speed of 17 miles per hour for half an hour among hundred or more cars running at 70 miles or more per hour in the midnight two-lane city expressway surrounded by raised concrete walls, a car cannot be your source of blessing...



Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Jesus' Economics and Japanese Economics


SECTION I: Reasonable Economists and Bad Economists

One of key factors to deciding the outcome of Japan's coming general election is how competing parties are associated with economists, as some critics realize.

Without vast knowledge and versatile experiences, you cannot become a true economist.

(Economists who have never participated in production and sale sometimes misunderstand what EEE Reporter said on economy while they know nothing but what other economists said. Besides, they could not predict the Wall Street crisis of 2008 while EEE Reporter had given warnings on it so many times.)

But, there are two types of economists, bad guys and reasonable guys.

Bad economists are friends of rich men; reasonable economists are friends of a majority of consumers.

If one man has one billion dollars, he will spend only one million dollars per year for his daily needs.

But if one billion dollars are shared by, or distributed to, one million men, they will in total spend one billion dollars per year.

National economy will not grow if one rich man spends only one million dollars per year for his daily needs; but it will expand if each of one million men spends one dollar per day for their daily needs.

(More practically, national economy will not grow if one rich man spends only ten million dollars per year for his daily needs; but it will expand if one million men in total spend ten billion dollars per year for their daily needs.)

This is a principle every economist must always keep in their mind.

That is why you must not trust an economist who has many friends among rich men.

The coming general election in Japan has an agenda in this regard. Japanese voters are leaving the ruling LDP and the current Cabinet who have trusted rich-men-friendly economists too much.

So, Japanese economists who have simply make rich men richer can be purged after the election, though they might survive provided they have special political value.


SECTION II: Economics Revolution

It is expected that Japan will present a new mode of economy in a few years, since the second largest economy in the world or the economic hero after WWII has suffered enough frictions between traditional Japanese culture and Western economics.

But, it is a little interesting to see how Wall Street experts see the Japanese economy:

The Truth About Japanese Stimulus

Fiscal pump-priming can work to revive the economy.

By RICHARD KATZ

...
Policy makers have been slow to respond because they're still hostage to several bad ideas. Let's look at some of the myths guiding Tokyo's policy makers and the contrasting realities.

Myth 1: Prime Minister Taro Aso is applying budget-busting fiscal stimulus including a return to public works.
...
Myth 2: The 1990s proved that fiscal stimulus is useless in Japan.
...
Myth 3: Japanese people won't spend any tax cut or government handout because they are either too anxious to spend or already have everything they want. The greatest barrier to consumer spending is lack of income. Even though total real compensation of all workers in Japan put together is only 2% above the level of 1997, spending is up 12% from 1997. People spent more by saving less. If they had more money, they'd spend even more.
...
Myth 4: Japan cannot afford fiscal stimulus because of its huge government debt.
...
Japan has plenty of unmet needs in urban infrastructure and in people's day-to-day struggles to make ends meet that could be helped with well-fashioned tax cuts and spending measures. The right kind of fiscal stimulus could help both short-term demand and long-term economic vibrancy.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123203746820485953.html
-----

If Japanese economists and the new regime after the August 30's general election can draw up an economic plan and policies that surpass any idea contrived on Wall Street, an economic revolution can occur in Japan.


SECTION III: JESUS' ECONOMY

Jesus Christ said that you should pay an equal wage to all the workers, some of whom must work from early in the morning but others of whom might just start to work a minute before the end of the day.

It tells that distribution of money itself is important for economy.

It tells that consumption by workers is more important than their labor for production.

While "Western economics" is a by-product of Christianity, most of Western economists seem to be unable to grasp the meaning of Jesus Christ's teaching.

So, I think that "Japanese economics" is really needed in the 21st century.

A Revolution "Manga" Induces


They say that Japanese animation works and cartoons or "manga" titles are today very popular among children in Israel.

So, some teachers in Israel start to use Japanese-style comics to teach children the Old Testament, since Israeli children nowadays do not read the holy book with ardor.

Yet, some orthodox Judaists are against this movement, since the holy book is so holy.

But, what makes them so orthodox? They do not even look like Arabs, while they are calling themselves Judaists. First of all, they have to divest themselves of whatever their ancestors learnt in Europe sine the age of the Roman Empire.

Judaist orthodoxy must be measured by their proximity to conditions and terms their ancestors were involved in, namely Arabic atmosphere.

Or were Abraham and Moses born in, say, London or Amsterdam?

They were born in Iraq and Egypt like Arabs of today.


SECTION I: ISRAEL OR AMERICA

The U.S. share accounts for 40% in Israel’s total export shipments.

The U.S. share accounts for 12.4% in Israel’s total import shipments.

http://import-export.suite101.com/article.cfm/top_israeli_imports_exports

Israel's surplus in trade with the U.S. was $7.8 billion in 2007.

So, if all the Israelis move to the U.S. to be American citizens while Arabs move into Israel to take over every business being conducted there, those Arab people can enjoy $7.8 billion surplus in trade with the U.S., which will improve their living status.

On the other hand, Israeli-turned American citizens will enjoy safe and happy life in the American society where the Vatican has no final religious authority.

Congress should also amend the Constitution to include a new provision that the United States of America shall specifically protect Judaists in terms of religion and economy.

Then, the world will be ten times more peaceful.

This recommendation of mine is based on my assumption that somebody among Judaists around 1492 must have heard a voice of the God telling all the Judaists to move to a new continent Columbus had just discovered.


SECTION II: Japan and Israel

Japan is the 13th country for Israel in terms of total trade value.

However, Japan is the largest exporter of vehicles to Israel. Japanese cars account for 50% of all the cars running in Israel as Israelis appreciate quality of Japanese cars.

(http://www.dubai.uae.emb-japan.go.jp/middle%20east_economy_2_01_j.htm)

On the other hand, the No.1 exporter of crude oil to Japan in 2005 is Saudi Arabia, accounting for 29% of all the imported oil.

Japan exports cars to Israel and imports crude oil from Saudi Arabia, probably as the God so wishes.

Most importantly, different from the U.S. and European countries, Japan never exports weapons and related technology to Israel, Saudi Arabia, and any other countries, due to a spirit and an ideal embedded in Japan's Constitution.

So, Japan has never assumed a hostile attitude to Israel, though Judaists in the U.S. Government and on Wall Street do so sometimes against Japan.

Israelis must give a warning to Judaists in the U.S. Government and on Wall Street in this regard.



SECTION III: Revolution in Israel or Iran

If somebody in Israel is found to be a new holy messenger, his words conveying the will of the God should bring about a revolution in Israel.

If somebody in Iran is found to be a new holy messenger, his words conveying the will of Allah should bring about a revolution in Iran.

In this context, EEE Reporter expects the Pope to judge himself.

In this regard, the U.S. President cannot be the most powerful person in this world. Even U.S. astronauts on the moon might be closer to Heaven than the President, since I think I was also watching live on TV (in a certain shop on the street) the first man touching the surface of the moon in a certain city of Japan (though I was young and the summer was hot)...

"I Never Knew You"

(Mt. Fuji in August 2008, 100Km Far)


The Lower House of the Japanese national Diet has been dissolved by Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso this afternoon for the general election's voting on August 30, 2009.

The U.S. GOP-like LDP of Japan and its ally New Komeito have had more than 330 seats among the total 480 seats. So, if they lose 90 seats or so in the coming election, they can secure a majority to form a new Cabinet after August 30.

That is why incumbent Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso of the LDP has maintained a strong attitude so that he dissolves the Lower House as prime minister to win the election.

But, the U.S. Democratic Party-like DPJ of Japan is expected to take at least 100 seats from the LDP, gaining 20 or more seats than the LDP's or almost an equal number of seats to that of the LDP and New Komeito combined.

If the LDP should lose 100 seats and the combined seats of the LDP and New Komeito should get equal to that of the DPJ alone, the Japanese people will not welcome another LDP-centric Cabinet if the LDP and New Komeito plus other lawmakers in an alliance secure 241 seats or a relative majority in the sum.

Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso can lose 90 seats from incumbent 300 LDP seats to continue his regime, but 10 more losses will put an end to it, which recent surveys seem to foretell.

Anyway, it looks like turning into a low-level battle with minus 90 or minus 100 as its threshold, sine the "Obama phenomenon" is yet to truly come into Japan.



SECTION I: Alexander the Great's Revolution

Whenever I see the map showing the empire of Alexander the Great, I am always astonished at how the Israel/Arabs conflicts and the War on Terror in the 21st century have been fought in the same geographical paradigm of the Alexander the Great's days, namely 330 years before the emergence of Jesus Christ.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great )

As evident in the above map, Alexander the Great must have met Israelites, and it is so reported.
-------
The narrative concerning Alexander's first interaction with the Jews is recorded in both the Talmud (Yoma 69a) and in the Jewish historian Josephus's Book of Antiquities (XI, 321-47).

In both accounts the High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem, fearing that Alexander would destroy the city, went out to meet him before he arrived at the city. The narrative describes how Alexander, upon seeing the High Priest, dismounted and bowed to him. (Alexander rarely, if ever, bowed to anyone). In Josephus's account, when asked by his general, Parmerio, to explain his actions, Alexander answered, "I did not bow before him, but before that God who has honored him with the high Priesthood; for I saw this very person in a dream, in this very apparel."

http://www.aish.com/jl/h/48929692.html
-------

Alexander the Great's greeting and bowing to the God of Israelites promised success of his conquest of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Afghanistan.

Or, the God decided to use Alexander the Great for His divine plan in the history around 330 B.C. since Alexander the Great greeted and bowed down to the God.

Yet, the conquest by Alexander the Great is a kind of revolution introduced into Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Afghanistan.

Since then, no Eastern or Asian Civilizations, except Judaism, have found a chance to prevail in those regions. Even Christianity and Islam were based on Judaism. And, they needed influences of the Greek Civilization in those regions as a kind of a rival or a background to develop and deploy fully as the history has proven, especially, concerning the role of the Roman Empire.

In summary, the most significant result from the Alexander the Great's Revolution is that the grand stage was set for the great deployment of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, though, with preceding dominance by the Roman Empire as the major successor of the Hellenistic Empire.

The secondary significant result is that the stage for Caesar and Cleopatra was set, so that the time of emergence of Jesus Christ was specifically fixed as one-generation after the demise of Cleopatra, the last remnant of the Alexander's Empire.


SECTION II: Buddhism vs. Greek Civilization

Though it was not forbidden to create a statute of the Buddha, followers of the Buddha had not projected an image of their great teacher into any form of art or so.

Yet, after Buddhists encountered Greek/Macedonian troops led by Alexander the Great, they started to create statutes of the Buddha.

This change made easier the penetration of Buddhism into China, Korea, and Japan as well as other East or Southeast Asian nations and tribes.

In this context, Buddhism is also influenced by the Greek Civilization.

Accordingly, the Japanese Buddhism is also influenced by the Greek Civilization and Alexander the Great.

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Japanese and Israeli(te)s


A craw-fish greeted me as I greeted the God (though a little disappointment for me, yet gloy to the God Almighty, the Creator, since a craw-fish is called "Zari-gani" in Japanese).


SECTION I: Failure of the Empire of Japan

The annexation of Korea to the Empire of Japan from 1910 to 1945 was the biggest failure for Japan in its 2000 year history.

It was not so cruel at all as British occupation and invasion of Ireland. Yet, it was a big mistake, though Korean people had had actually no competent government before 1910 all through a preceding century while Russia and China were trying to control and hold a grip of the Korean Peninsula, which was a great threat to Japan.

Before the annexation of Korea to the Empire of Japan, Japan occupied Taiwan legally from 1895 to 1945 after the First Sino-Japanese War between Qing Dynasty China and the Empire of Japan in 1894. This annexation of Taiwan to the Empire of Japan is also controversial, since Taiwanese, consisting of various tribes, were not members of the traditional and historical Japanese race (though Okinawa people are so).

In extension of this expansion policy, Japan controlled Manchuria to defend the area from Russia and advanced its military into the mainland China in response to Chinese military offence.

Though Japan's sin linked with colonialism is far smaller than that of the U.K., the U.S., France, Russia, and other European nations, Japan's 21st century diplomatic policy must be based on a sincere review of its past relationships with Taiwan, Korea, China, and Russia.

However, the Empire of Japan invested more into Taiwan and Korea and even Manchuria and China than it took out from those regions, since the Empire knew that modernization of East Asia was crucial to cope with Russia and other European colonialists.


SECTION II: Failure of Israelites

The gravest failure for mankind in these 2000 years is that no Israelites believed in Jesus Christ around A.D. 70, namely in the era of the first Jewish-Roman War (66–73).

All through the first Jewish-Roman War, the second Jewish-Roman War (115–117), and the third Jewish-Roman War (132–135), no followers of Jesus Christ among Israelites were reported to work or fight for any cause among others.

So-called Christians were said to emerge in Rome, but why not in Jerusalem under wars?

Why didn't the teaching of the God or Jesus Christ prevail in those periods in Jerusalem and Palestine while it was highly welcomed in Rome and other cities governed by the Roman Empire?

This issue is concerned with authenticity of the New Testaments as documentary materials of the history.

Or, is there anything totally wrong in our interpretation of the historical incidents around 70 A.D.?

Precisely how many percentage of people in Palestine 2000 years ago knew the name, Jesus of Nazareth?

Anyway, Judaists after the era of Jewish-Roman Wars do look very different from Israelites before the era living around Jerusalem. So, Israelis today living in Jerusalem do not look like Israelites living around Jerusalem 2000 years ago.

Do Israelis today really need Jerusalem, Palestine, and the nation Israel, while America looks like their true destination and home?


SECTION III: The Last Agenda for Japan

Japanese islands are a kind of Heaven in terms of the nature and climates.

It is sub-tropical in the summer and deep-snow-covered in the winter.

Its inland sea, Seto-nai-kai, was the most beautiful scenery on the earth till industrialization of its coastal area centuries ago.

Mt. Fuji is the only 3776 meter-high volcano directly observable from the world-class capital of a nation on this globe.

People living in its most southern islands, Okinawa, enjoy the highest average life expectancy in the world.

Works and traditions of the ancient Chinese Civilization still remain in the Japanese minds and live effectively in the Japanese society more than in China of today.

Any valuable works and traditions of the European Civilization have been imported into Japan so as to be developed and applied in parallel with Europe and America.

What Japan lacks incredibly and fatally are only Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

(Until Japan's industrial success, Christianity had been regarded as a must for any society to develop modern science and engineering mostly cultivated in Western Europe. Japan's success really motivated other East Asians to be a master of modern science and engineering. In this respect, China and India are simply beneficiaries of Japan's success in the 19th and 20th centuries.)

All this can be only possible by the divine will or the holy providence.

So, the last agenda for Japan is centered around this historical conditions. It is so, since Japan is the furthest center of one civilization from Jerusalem.

Accordingly, the last agenda for Israel can be rather objectively found and observed from Japan. Accordingly, I believe that the last agenda for Japan is to present the last agenda of Israel.

It is crystal-clear that the Vatican cannot do this, just to make it clear here again.
*** *** *** ***

Yes, some elite Japanese read and view this EEE Reporter blog sometimes.

However, most of them are followers of the Japanese spiritualism based on Shintoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism (in addition to the so-called Japanese Christianity).

Though I have never or seldom personally and directly informed those Japanese VIPs of the existence of the EEE Reporter blog, I reckon that the Vatican must have referred EEE Reporter to some Japanese authority, which CIA and Chinese agencies must have caught.

Yet, the decisive moment would be when Judaist VIPs are circumstantially or religiously forced to study the EEE Reporter, since it is reported that their ancestors once tried to kill Jesus Christ.

So, I am telling ordinary Judaists, living in the U.S. or Israel or otherwise wherever, that they have to start to think that the time has come for their revolution in the global Judaist community.

Joh 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Joh 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

Rainbows from the Setting Sun

This evening I went out without carrying my main digital camera but a cellular phone equipped with a camera(s).

It is so, since the God told me to go northwest and southwest.

Then I reached some point where I found a rainbow(s), though what was visible was only a vertical portion, while the sun was going to set.

I thought I should have brought at least my secondary digital camera with me but I tried a camera on the cellular phone. And, it was my first trial of using a camera function of this camera-embedded cell-phone, since I do not trust a smart machine of any sort.

These two pictures above, each showing a rainbow, were taken this way using the phone camera while the sun was going to hide behind far mountains in the opposite direction.

(Even after the sun completely set, the rainbow somewhat remained.)

It is once a year or two that I encounter a rainbow nowadays; so this is a miracle.

Besides, at the extension of the bottom part of the rainbow lies Tokyo-Shinjuku skyscrapers. I rather judged that the lower end of the rainbow pointed at the Tokyo Metropolitan Public Office Building.

Though in these pictures only one identical vertical rainbow was displayed, there was another vertical-portion rainbow beside it, though a little shorter and thinner.

My interpretation of this miracle is that it is related to my trip to the Tokyo Metropolitan Public Office Building I made two weeks ago.

Anyway, I have found that this mobile phone can be connected directly with a PC via a USB cable, so that image files inside the phone can be easily accessed and copied from a PC.

(Another interpretation is that the rainbows reflect love, though I know only a few love the God at that moment...)

Mt. Fuji was covered by clouds 100Km far. Some swallows agilely gliding, tilting their posture, showing a white belly, flew around and away as the dusk was proceeding into night.

This is an incident of a summer evening around Tokyo: a miracle of the rainbows as you see here.

"To the Poor the Gospel is Preached"

(It's fine...)


Modern History Enabled by Electronics Revolution


It is electronics that has truly introduced revolution of life.

So, look around and you will find anything smart around you is functioning based on electronics.

A computer is a mass of electronics and its software is another form of electronics.

With these electronics, information is transmitted and acquired at a high speed.

For example, without this level of electronics and computers, China should have taken a century more to modernize its industry.

But, Japan has been part of original, global developers of electronics from the beginning as with the U.K. and America.

So, if you really want to understand the core of the modern economy, you have to well understand the nature of this "electronics revolution" since the era of Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell.

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

The electronics revolution of mankind began in the following manner:
-----
Maxwell had studied and commented on the field of electricity and magnetism as early as 1855/6 when On Faraday's lines of force was read to the Cambridge Philosophical Society. The paper presented a simplified model of Faraday's work, and how the two phenomena were related. He reduced all of the current knowledge into a linked set of differential equations with 20 equations in 20 variables. This work was later published as On Physical Lines of Force in March 1861.[59]

Around 1862, while lecturing at King's College, Maxwell calculated that the speed of propagation of an electromagnetic field is approximately that of the speed of light. He considered this to be more than just a coincidence, and commented "We can scarcely avoid the conclusion that light consists in the transverse undulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena."[47]

Working on the problem further, Maxwell showed that the equations predict the existence of waves of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through empty space at a speed that could be predicted from simple electrical experiments; using the data available at the time, Maxwell obtained a velocity of 310,740,000 m/s. In his 1864 paper A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field, Maxwell wrote, The agreement of the results seems to show that light and magnetism are affections of the same substance, and that light is an electromagnetic disturbance propagated through the field according to electromagnetic laws.

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

From the equations Maxwell discovered, the electric engineering started to develop, since it was given a concrete and effective underlying theory.

Inventions, such as electric lighting and radio telecommunication equipment, is just a promised step forward.

And then, mankind passed through the era of the Titanic and the First World War.

Over the Second World War, radars and electric calculators started to flourish.

After WWII, Japan started to industrialize and commercialize not only electric equipment but also integrated electronic circuit-driven equipment, such as Sony's transistor radios and TV sets.

All through the Cold War period, the U.S., Japan, Western Europe, and the Soviet Union competed in development of integrated-circuit-based general purpose computers.

Around 1990, it turned to be apparent that only the U.S. and Japan could compete fairly in this technology, inevitably leading to the fall of the USSR.

Japan and America entered the phase of small-sized computer development for personal use in early 1990's.

The U.S. Government took it as a real threat from Japan, thus even politically supporting Microsoft and Intel.

Consequently, Japan lost a chance to overwhelm the PC market in the world.

Then, the Internet age came being supported by advanced telecommunication software in terms of which America was culturally positioned far favorably than Japan. Wall Street has been the largest beneficiary in this context.

The U.S. military has been another largest beneficiary in this context. Accordingly, before September 11, 2001, no one doubted that the U.S. is the sole super power in this world due to its technological superiority and military capability based on the most advanced electronics (and software).

Indeed, the U.S. financial sector has been other largest beneficiary in this context. Accordingly, before September 15, 2008, no one doubted that the U.S. is the sole super power in this world due to its advanced financial skills based on the most advanced electronics (and software).

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

There are various factors in that Japan has become the largest economy in the world except the U.S. after WWII.

Apart from a population size, the most important factor is that Japanese culture, education, and traditions have been advanced at a level comparable to Western Europe and America in terms of mastering electronics as a whole nation.

After WWII, hundreds of thousands of Japanese students have learnt electronics from Japanese professors and teachers in Japanese universities, as they did before WWII though in a larger number.

After WWII before the era of the PC and the Internet, advanced science and engineering knowledge could not be easily obtained. In Asian countries except in Japan, students had to learn English and go to America to learn any advanced world-class science. But, in Japan, you did not have to be able to speak English at all to learn advanced electronics, since they have been taught in Japan by Japanese teachers.

And, electronics was the most focused on in the Japanese higher education after WWII. After WWII, there had been a kind of electronics boom among Japanese students. It was not by chance at all that Japan excelled in electronics after WWII. The industry, the academic community, and students all tried to develop and expand the Japanese electronics science and engineering.

Those students have been employed by Sony, Panasonic, Hitachi, Toshiba, Fujitsu, NEC, Sharp, and so on to make Japan the second largest economy around 1970's and the world leading hi-tech nation around 1980's.

Looking at Japan's success, Korea and Taiwan and then finally China came to think that they could be another Japan since they all belong to the East Asian Civilization.

As diffusion of the PC and the Internet allowed these countries to get key information easily without sending students to Japan or America, their electronics industry also began to take off.

Conversely, if Japan had failed to be a global leader in electronics after WWII, Japan could not become the second largest economy in the world; Korea and Taiwan could not have become advanced followers of Japan in technology; and China should have been still an agriculture country, put extremely.

Anti-Christ Fruits of the Western Civilization


There are three major trends in this decade as everybody has realized:
- The widening gap between the rich and the poor all over the world
- The economic growth of China with one billion population
- CO2 emission-triggered disaster feared and possible depletion of crude oil more feared

On the first trend, Mr. Barack Obama was elected as U.S. president and the Japan’s long-time ruling party LDP is expected to go into opposition after the coming general election.

On the second trend, Wall Street/City money games have been further spurred.

On the third trend, developing countries are getting awoken with various trials and tribulations, including Islamic terror, civil wars, and even nuclear arms development.

Nothing except religious revolution can correctly and effectively deal with these matters. It is so, since they are inevitable fruits of the modern industry-based civilization originated in Western Europe and the U.S. in these centuries.

This religious revolution must be of a scale that would totally change the Vatican and the commonsense of Judaists as well as the meaning of Islam.

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

The basic concept is that a man does not live for himself but for the God.

This is the first thing every man must be taught.

If you want to earn big money to have affluent living, it must be not for yourself but for the God.

Hence, the more you earn the more you are requested to offer to the God.

If you earn one dollar per day, you will be requested one dollar per day by the God.
If you earn 100 dollars per day, you will be requested 100 dollars per day by the God.
If you earn 10,000 dollars or more per day, you will be requested 10,000 dollars or more per day by the God.

In the calculation, maybe less-than 100-dollars-per-day default may be forgiven.

But, you will be surely thrown into the hell, if you cannot pay 10,000 or more dollars-per-day debt to the God.

In this way, people's desire for rich life must be regulated, so that no one would sacrifice others for his economic and material success.

This is what the Western Civilization cannot accept due to their anti-Christ character and philosophy.

A few days ago, a 4-feet-width rock rolled down from a higher slope of Mt. Fuji to hit a parked car and a man inside it 700 yards below, thus killing the very unlucky retired man. It is a typical accident that can happen in a probability of 1/100,000.

I felt then something more terrible would happen soon.

Yesterday ten people, mostly older than an age for retirement, encountered a tempest in higher mountains in Hokkaido, the norther big island of Japan, to lose their lives. They were all enjoying walking tours in the mountains. It is a typical accident that can happen in a probability of 1/10,000.

So, we had better take care not to encounter an accident that might involve a hundred victims in a probability of 1/1000. And, we must think about the meaning of blessed retirement.

Anyway, Japanese workers are going to enjoy three consecutive holidays from Saturday to Monday, as July 20 is a national holiday of Japan.

So, be blessed in your holidays!

REVOLUTION TO FAIL


There are three mythical centers in Japan since ancient days, namely since more than 2000 years ago: Tsukushi (northern Kyusyu), Izumo (a coast region facing the Sea of Japan), and Yamato (Imperial capital prior to Kyoto).

An ancient Chinese official history book, called the Records of Three Kingdoms ("三国志" both in Chinese and Japanese), actually reported situations of the third century from Tsukushi to Yamato through around Izumo.

Even today, the chief Shinto priest of the Great Izumo Shrine claims that their family line can be traced back, in parallel with the Imperial family, for more than 2000 or 2500 years. There are no other such families in Japan today.

Yet, it is still mystery when and how the Japanese race was uniquely consolidated and the Japanese language was specifically established, unlike the case of English.

Anyway, there is a high degree of hidden variety among the Japanese people, since some look like a Western Asian, a South Asian, a Southeast Asian, or a Pacific islander of the light skin, while others have apparently the same DNAs as some of Chinese or Koreans.

Therefore, monolithic unity cannot be often easily attained in the Japanese society with 120 million population.


SECTION I: Hitler's Revolution

Everybody hates Adolf Hitler as an enemy of mankind since the end of WWII. Accordingly, everybody must forgive Adolf Hitler according to the teaching of Jesus Christ.

As you have to forgive Hitler, Judaists as a matter of course have to forgive Christians, Christians have to forgive Muslims, and Muslims have to forgive Judaists.


But, Hitler did not only abuse hatred of German Christians toward Judaists but also abused their material desire.

Hitler achieved a society with stable commodity prices, satisfactory wages for plain workers, well funded pension schemes and health insurance systems, and above all communities without crimes in addition to respect for the nature of the land.

What's more, the Hitler's government looked like giving priority to public good and interests over corporate interests.

The Hitler's Administration adopted the barter system for international trade as the German Government was under international economic sanctions after WWI.

Consequently, the Hitler's Administration made a majority of ordinary Germans materially happy though very rich people living in Germany, including German Judaists, were not treated preferentially.

Or more specifically, by sacrificing six million European Judaists, Hitler's Administration achieved this material revolution without resorting to Marxism or Communism.

If Hitler had not hated Judaists at all, he would have given silent consent to those political and religious gangsters who wanted to eradicate Judaiats, so long as confiscation of wealth from those Judaists was judged to be an essential factor for the success of his material revolution.

Ordinary German people got better off owing to the Hitler's policy to drive out Judaists, so that they must have thought it had been proven who had made them poor before the rise of Hitler and the Nazis. So, why would they try to worry about where those Judaists had gone, since Hitler was a pious Christian?

Yet, for the very reason, the Hitler's revolution was destined to fail, not economically but religiously.

American Revolutionary War (1775-1783)

It is politically appropriate, like the nomination of Judge Ms. Sonia Sotomayor, that President Mr. Barack Obama threw out the first ceremonial pitch in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, and Ichiro Suzuki, a Japanese No.1 player, politely delivered a first-batter hit soon after the ceremony in St. Louis...


SECTION I: AMERICAN REVOLUTION　AGAINST BRITISH KING

If the British ruling class was so cruel to European Americans trying to be independent from England, how bloody would their animosity to other races and tribes in Africa and Asia turn to be in successive centuries?

-----
In London King George III gave up hope of subduing America by more armies while Britain had a European war to fight. "It was a joke," he said, "to think of keeping Pennsylvania."

There was no hope of recovering New England. But the King was determined "never to acknowledge the independence of the Americans, and to punish their contumacy by the indefinite prolongation of a war which promised to be eternal."[33]

His plan was to keep the 30,000 men garrisoned in New York, Rhode Island, Quebec, and Florida; other forces would attack the French and Spanish in the West Indies. To punish the Americans the King planned to destroy their coasting-trade, bombard their ports; sack and burn towns along the coast (as Benedict Arnold did to New London, Connecticut in 1781), and turn loose the Native Americans to attack civilians in frontier settlements. These operations, the King felt, would inspire the Loyalists; would splinter the Congress; and "would keep the rebels harassed, anxious, and poor, until the day when, by a natural and inevitable process, discontent and disappointment were converted into penitence and remorse" and they would beg to return to his authority.[34]

The plan meant destruction for the Loyalists and loyal Native Americans, an indefinite prolongation of a costly war, and the risk of disaster as the French and Spanish assembled an armada to invade the British Isles. The British planned to re-subjugate the rebellious colonies after dealing with their European allies.

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

However, though it is difficult to grasp the situation of 230 years ago, the American Independence was truly a by-product of the conflict between England and other European continental powers, such as France, Spain, and the Netherlands, who were vying for overseas colonies with England.

Unlike the case of Portugal and Spain, the Pope had no power to go between the warring camps.

Yet, through this revolutionary war, Americans came to have a new paradigm, not based on the teaching of the Vatican, as manifested in the Unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America.

Without this orientation for the ideal, the American Independence should have simply meant foundation of another greedy and cold-blooded European-race nation.


SECTION II: George Washington and Thomas Paine

George Washington was never hated at all by his contemporaries.

But, how can we trust anybody who has never been hated by his contemporaries?

Jesus Christ said that you would be surely hated by your contemporaries provided you claim justice and righteousness according to the commandments of the God.

George Washington never lost his friends, but Thomas Paine finally lost almost all of his friends, while it was Thomas Paine who claimed justice and righteousness from the era of the American Revolution to the era of Napoleon.

-----
Thomas Paine (January 29, 1737 – June 8, 1809) was an English pamphleteer, revolutionary, radical, inventor, intellectual, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He lived and worked in Britain until age 37, when he emigrated to the British American colonies, in time to participate in the American Revolution. His principal contributions were the powerful, widely-read pamphlet Common Sense (1776), advocating colonial America's independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and The American Crisis (1776–1783), a pro-revolutionary pamphlet series.

Later, Paine greatly influenced the French Revolution. He wrote the Rights of Man (1791), a guide to Enlightenment ideas. Despite not speaking French, he was elected to the French National Convention in 1792...

Paine remained in France during the early Napoleonic era, but condemned Napoleon's dictatorship, calling him "the completest charlatan that ever existed". At President Jefferson's invitation, in 1802 he returned to America.

Thomas Paine died at 59 Grove Street, Greenwich Village, New York City on June 8, 1809 at the age of 72. Ostracized for his religious views, only six people attended his funeral.

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

Yet, the fact that George Washington is respected in the U.S. more than Thomas Paine is suggests something doubtful existent in the American national character.

The English Civil War


They say that The New York Times and The Washington Post drew attention to the recent movement in the Japanese politics.

Both the U.S. papers concluded that the Liberal Democratic Party would eventually lose power it has held for half a century after the coming general election.

Interestingly their views are not so different from EEE Reporter's, but there is something they cannot understand. It is the personal pride of Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso.

He can neither spontaneously step down nor accept forced resignation. His only choice is to fight the general election as an honorable leader of the LDP, if he himself and the LDP itself are going to lose power in the Government due to highly expected defeat by the Democratic Party of Japan.

You cannot have the prime minister of Japan make a laughingstock of himself. He must fight, lose, and virtually retire. The recent defeat of his LDP in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Election has prepared, without doubt, Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso to face like a man whatever outcomes from the coming snap election.

But, this ceremonial political procedure based on Japanese traditional aesthetics is going to take still 50 days until August 30, 2009,

All I wish is that The New York Times and The Washington Post would understand this ceremonial political procedure based on Japanese traditional aesthetics, hopefully, in these 50 days.

Note: The LDP got only 38 seats but the DPJ advanced with 55 seats among 127 seats of the Tokyo Prefecture Assembly through the election held on July 12, 2009. It looks like foretelling an outcome of the future national election.



SECTION I: Cromwell's Revolution

It is apparent that it is not in the 20th or 21st century but in the 17th or 18th century that any great things happened in England.

-----
Cromwell first mustered a troop of cavalry (then referred to as "horse") at Huntingdon in Huntingdonshire, on August 29, 1642, early in the Civil War. After witnessing the defeat of the Parliamentarian horse at the Battle of Edgehill later that year, Cromwell wrote to fellow Parliamentarian leader John Hampden,

"Your troopers are most of them old decayed servingmen and tapsters; and the Royalists troopers are gentlemens' sons, younger sons and persons of quality; do you think that the spirits of such base and mean fellows [as ours] will ever be able to encounter gentlemen that have honour and courage and resolution in them?"

It is evident that Cromwell's answer to his own question lay in religious conviction. Early in 1643, he was given a commission as Colonel and expanded his troop into a full regiment in the newly formed Eastern Association under the command of Lord Grey of Warke and then the Earl of Manchester. By September 11 that year, he referred to them in a letter to his cousin Oliver St. John as a "lovely company". A champion of the "godly", Cromwell became notorious for appointing men of comparatively humble origins but stoutly-held Puritan beliefs as officers, who would then attract men of similar background and leanings to the regiment. He wrote to his commander, the Earl of Manchester, who disagreed with this policy,

"I had rather have a plain russet-coated captain that knows what he fights for and loves what he knows, than that which you call a gentleman and is nothing else. I honour a gentleman that is so indeed."
...
As Puritans, the Ironsides often attributed their glory in battle to God. Their religious beliefs extended to the field where they adhered to strict ethical codes. In quarters, they did not drink or gamble. They did not partake in the traditional spoils of war and did not rape or pillage defeated opponents (although their religious zeal sometimes led them to be merciless to Catholic enemies).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironside_(cavalry)
-----

Indeed, Oliver Cromwell had a kind of samurai spirits, to the degree that he could have assumed the title of the Emperor of England, if he had so wished.

So, Mr. Barack Obama must have been at least somehow puritan to become revolutionary president in any meaning.

Also, a new Japanese political hero must be somehow puritan or non-commercially Buddhistic if supposed to take over for leadership in Japan from the half-a-century leader, the LDP.


SECTION II: Immature British Puritanism

The Reformation influenced badly the English society before the emergence of Oliver Cromwell.

Many monasteries were disbanded, causing a big plight on the poor having been helped in such religious facilities.

The poor came to be regarded as simply idle people or so destined people rather than unhappy people to be given Christian love.

This stupid conversion of philosophy has prevailed to this date in the U.K. The lack of love to the poor and the weak often found in the general British culture seems to be rooted in this era.

And, even works of Shakespeare seems to have exerted a negative effect on this anti-Christ atmosphere.

The Cromwell's revolution stopped at a certain point where he and his followers were requested more faith and love in God to change the whole people but they could not respond to it.

Accordingly, Parliament and royalism came to coexist as the both could not exert more faith and love in God, so as to rely on each other for concealment of their shortcomings and sins.


SECTION III: Lessons to the Obama Administration and Japan

American soldiers to be sent to Iraq and Afghanistan must be pious Christians.

American bureaucrats in the Obama Administration must be pious Christians.

Otherwise, there will be no second term for President Mr. Barack Obama.

Future Japanese Government, whether formed by the LDP or the DPJ, must be more religiously respected by the people; otherwise a regime change in every two to three years will be the norm in Japan, not only such a change of successive prime ministers.

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

United States Constitution
Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

This article is significant, since it is regarded as related to prohibition of introduction of state religion, while they were all Christians who decided Independence of America from England. I mean that there must be a provision, first of all, that specifies the relationship between the U.S. and Christianity.

As for Japan, I would rather recommend to adopt this "Amendment" scheme into the Japanese Constitution.

Now, that is all for today.

(Plants around Tokyo, nowadays...)



Revolution Starts in Summer

It is truly revolutionary that Mr. Barack Obama, a son of a contemporary African, was elected as U.S. President after having been nominated for President in the U.S. Democratic Party conference in the summer of 2008.

In Japan, finally the LDP-led Cabinet has decided to dissolve the Lower House of the Diet, having power to elect Japan's prime minister, on 21 July and hold the general election on 30 August, 2009, though the political upheaval is expected to further continue till October as there are some ambitious parties, factions, and groups laying their own schemes for formation of a new Government.

Yet, we had better review the French Revolution:
-----
The French Revolution (1789–1799)
The storming of the Bastille, 14 July 1789

Another cause was the fact that Louis XV fought many wars, bringing France to the verge of bankruptcy, and Louis XVI supported the colonists during the American Revolution, exacerbating the precarious financial condition of the government.

The national debt amounted to almost two billion livres. The social burdens caused by war included the huge war debt, made worse by the monarchy's military failures and ineptitude, and the lack of social services for war veterans. The inefficient and antiquated financial system was unable to manage the national debt, something which was both caused and exacerbated by the burden of a grossly inequitable system of taxation. Another cause was the continued conspicuous consumption of the noble class, especially the court of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette at Versailles, despite the financial burden on the populace.

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

Yet you must wonder what happened between the revolutionary power in Paris and the Vatican, since the Pope was the largest stakeholder in the economy of the French kingdom:
-----
The Revolution brought about a massive shifting of powers from the Roman Catholic Church to the state. Under the Ancien Régime, the Church had been the largest landowner in the country. Legislation enacted in 1790 abolished the Church's authority to levy a tax on crops, known as the dîme, cancelled special privileges for the clergy, and confiscated Church property. To no small extent, the Assembly addressed the financial crisis by having the nation take over the property of the Church (while taking on the Church's expenses), through the law of 2 December 1789. In order to rapidly monetize such an enormous amount of property, the government introduced a new paper currency, assignats, backed by the confiscated church lands.

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

The most significant part of the effect of the French Revolution is that the richest entity of the Vatican was deprived of its source of wealth in France, and thus France could avoid the national bankruptcy by confiscating Pope's lands and issuing a new paper currency backed by the newly nationalized estate in land.

However, "what happened to Judaists?" is the most pious question:
-----
The French Revolution and the Napoleonic period brought to the Jews of France, the Netherlands, Western Germany and Italy the first intimations of modernity. It brought equality before the law, an end to oppressive taxation and enforced residential restrictions, and the opportunity to participate as free men in public and political life. True to the ideals of the Enlightenment, the Revolution granted to the
Jew his rights as a citizen.

Article X of the Rights of Man and the Citizen declared: 'No person shall be molested for his opinions, even such as are religious provided that the manifestation of their opinions does not disturb the public order as established by the law.'

It is true of course that in the reaction that followed the downfall of Napoleon, in certain areas, notably in Italy, the Jew lost his new status. Even in France itself, the early achievements of the Revolution were in part nullified by Napoleon’s policy. Yet for all that, nothing can deprive the French Revolution of its rightful claim to have inaugurated a new and more hopeful era in the life of European Jewry.

http://www.biblemagazine.com/magazine/vol-19/v19i4mag.pdf
-----

The key figures of the French Revolution, either as an enemy or a friend of poor Parisians, were the Vatican and Judaists. Without this notion, you would have simply a too romantic image on the French Revolution.

But, the truth is that the Vatican had neglected poor French people for so long while tying up with successive French kings, while Judaists had been neglected of their human right for so long in their poor and peaceful living in the Christian world.

It was truly so to the extent that most of French poor people came to pay no respect to the Vatican while finding themselves in the same miserable state as that of poor Judaists who eventually looked like their friends in poverty.

Yet, the revolution cost too much.
-----
The Committee of Public Safety came under the control of Maximilien Robespierre, a lawyer, and the Jacobins unleashed the Reign of Terror (1793-1794). According to archival records, at least 16,594 people died under the guillotine or otherwise after accusations of counter-revolutionary activities.[35] A number of historians note that as many as 40,000 accused prisoners may have been summarily executed without trial or died awaiting trial...
-----

And in this trend, another important direction of the incident became clearer, paving the way for young military officer Napoleon eventually:
-----
The Reign of Terror enabled the revolutionary government to avoid military defeat. The Jacobins expanded the size of the army, and Carnot replaced many aristocratic officers with younger soldiers who had demonstrated their ability and patriotism. The Republican army was able to throw back the Austrians, Prussians, British, and Spanish. At the end of 1793, the army began to prevail and revolts were defeated with ease. The Ventôse Decrees (February–March 1794) proposed the confiscation of the goods of exiles and opponents of the Revolution, and their redistribution to the needy...
----

It is just like young politicians being given many chances and higher appreciation in Japan and America today. However, being young alone never promises true virtue, wisdom, and power. For example, J.F.K. was simply assassinated in 1963 and Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.
