Samurai Mission to Pope in 1615
Samurai Mission to Pope in 1615
[Updated on Nov. 30, 2011]
In Tokyo Prefecture with 12 million population, registered foreigners are only 370,000. (They mostly live in concentrated places of the metropolitan area.)
Naive comparison of Tokyo with New York is not productive as well as that between a single-race nation, Japan, and a multiethnic nation, the U.S.
In addition, the situation is now changing. The US population reached 300 million plus 20 million Mexicans inside the border.
Accordingly, "Clash of Civilizations" by Samuel P. Huntington was translated into Japanese and reasonably sold.
Meanwhile Japanese companies invested total 1.1 billion dollars into Mexico in 2005 to boost their economic ties. Even the Japanese version of NAFTA was concluded between the two countries.
Though it is said that the poor accounts for 80% of the population of Mexico, the last year's Presidential election was remarkably fairly conducted, according to a Japanese businessman there. (The advertisement industry in Mexico seems to be one of focal points to be improved. Now, you know where to invest.)
I really want to say, "May God bless Mexico!"

In 1615, a Japanese envoy to the Vatican led by the samurai Tsunenaga Hasekura was granted an audience to Pope Paulus V in Rome.
(A Japanese samurai is not only a warrior, but also a bureaucrat, a financial manager, and sometimes a scholar, different from traditions of separation of swords and the pen in China and Korea.)
Though Hasekura was not sent off by a Shogun, he represented one strong samurai clan who wanted to strengthen its power base, against the Shogun's clan, with a support of the then superpower Spain, a Catholic empire.
Hasekura on board a Spanish ship crossed the Pacific Ocean and landed on Acapulco of Mexico, then a colony of Spain. He got to the other side of the land and went on to Europe across the Atlantic with help from Spain. Finally, his greeting behavior to Pope Paulus V was highly praised; and the envoy suffered no humiliation, though some members got determined not to go back home but stay and live in Spain.
Soon after Hasekura's coming back to Japan, the Shogun closed the country, severely banning the religion Christianity and the diplomatic relation with Spain while sacrificing the hegemony over the East Pacific which consequentially fell into the hand of the West until 1858 when a Japan-US treaty was signed resulting in opening the country again.
Nonetheless, a fact has remained that a Japanese samurai envoy arrived at Rome and officially met Pope Paulus V before the Mayflower left Southampton for America in 1620.
(According to Malachy's prophecies, Pope Paulus V should be concerned with Gens Perversa or the "wicked race." People suspected that Pope Paulus V might be wicked. But, it is apparent that the "wicked race" means Japanese in light of the above episode; actually Catholicism had been banned in Japan for 250 years under the Tokugawa samurai regime.
Now, we have only one or two Popes left, according to the prophecies: Gloria Olivae and Petrus Romanus.
But mankind must survive and progress with Jesus Christ.
[And, Paulus V was actually nice to Japan; you should not harm his dignity.])

"To the Vatican over Mexico" was reality for some samurais in 1615.
But, venturing a remark, where over America should pious descendants of the Pilgrims go on for their holy mission? Mesopotamia?

Alexander the Great & Diogenes
Alexander the Great & Diogenes
When Alexander the Great (Aleksandros III Megas) came to Corinth, about 300 year before the birth of Jesus Christ, on his massive military campaign to the east, namely to Persia and as far as the Indus, he heard a rumor about Diogenes and visited him.
Diogenes once walked with a lamp in the daylight. People laughed at him, asking what he was looking for. Diogenes answered that he was looking for a human being. They all realized that they were all disqualified as a human being.
When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes, the philosopher was resting, lying on the ground.
Though Diogenes did not stand up to greet the King of Macedonia, the King asked him what he wanted from the King. Diogenes said to Alexander the Great to let the sunshine fall on him as the King stood between the Sun and Diogenes.
Alexander the Great praised Diogenes, saying that he wished to be another Diogenes though he was actually content with being "Alexander the Great."
* * *
As you know, the last fruit of a tree that had grown from a seed the King sowed was Cleopatra who is said to have been extremely smart to be loved by Caesar and Antonio.
However, if Alexander the Great had had also become another Diogenes and Cleopatra had had become the Queen of Rome, the fate of ancient Israelites might have been very different.
* * *
Does the U.S have a Diogenes, though it seems to have many admirers of Cleopatra and Alexander the Great?
I am an admirer of Diogenes because he pursued truth, he experienced a "state of a slave," he lived a life of the homeless, and he became an excellent educator respected by Alexander the Great, the most respected by Cleopatra.
What's more, unless the King of Macedonia himself went out to pay a courtesy visit to Diogenes, the King, still young, should have failed in his war against mighty and experienced Persia.

Holy Reason in 2008 A.D. and 3000 B.C.
Holy Reason in 2008 A.D. and 3000 B.C.
Why did the God choose Abram? For an unknown holy reason?
To find the answer we have to study Sumerians.
(Will people choose their President for a holy reason in 2008? You need this study.)
* * *
As you know, Sumerians were the first tribe that established the first human urban civilization, the Mesopotamian Civilization, building for example the city Ur 6000 years ago, though there had been a preceding agricultural tribe already in the delta of the Tigris and the Euphrates who however made no war against new comers.
From Ur, Abram departed once for all to the west following the order of God 5000 years ago, namely, in 3000 B.C. to become Abraham (which symbolizes an important thing).
(Moving around the regions might have been just an ordinary custom of ancient nomads; there might have been nothing holy as scholars have emphasized. Everything might have happened by chance, as everybody's birth and death as well as admission to Heaven or the hell...But I prefer assurance or holy assurance.)
* * *
Mesopotamia is the ultimate home province of Israelites (accordingly, isn't it holy?).
Though the different race Akkadians later came to Mesopotamia and shared the Civilization with Sumerians who had earlier come from the north and settled there, I believe Abraham belonged to Sumerians partly due to the location, the southern city Ur, which he left just relying on his God.
(This is why even today people living in Southern Iraq [Iraq may be named after another city called Urq] observe a different kind of Islam and rather communicate better with Iranians.)
The language Sumerians used is a kind of mystery; however, it has been proved to be different from a Semitic language Akkadians used, though both the races got mingled and shared their languages to some extent.
When Abraham left Ur, he seems to have used no longer the original Sumerian language. His descendants completely lost whatever Sumerian traits that had been preserved in Ur to become Semito-Hamitic like contemporary pious Arabs.
The genealogy that can be traced back to the first civilized race Sumerians seems to be more authentic than the one that can be traced only to the second civilized race Akkadians. I believe that Israelites are more glorious than today's scholars (and themselves) believe them to be.
* * *
We have to go and study in Mesopotamia to discover the holy reason why the God chose Abraham, a descendant of Sumerians.
The key to understanding human history might be found there. It will lead to deeper understanding the will of God.
* * *
Nonetheless, what the only superpower in the world is today doing for Mesopotamia, to which the God mercifully gave crude oil and Islam to bless descendants of mostly Akkadians, is just reinforcement of military capability.
I am afraid that they are doing something wrong or the worst in these 5000 years.
* * *
You don't have to share my view. It is yet to be proved.
However, when Puritans in 1620 left England and Holland on board the Mayflower heading for the New World Columbus had discovered based on his belief in Marco Polo's report, there must have been a holy reason which modern people have missed for a very long time.

Test in Space or Racecourse
Test in Space or Racecourse
Mr. Rodger Donaldson is the director of "Thirteen Days."
His new movie, though originally released in the U.S. in 2005, "World's Fastest Indian" is now put on the screen in Japan.
The situation is set in New Zealand and the U.S. in 1960's. The hero is Burt Munro, an elderly and poor New Zealander, who traveled to the U.S. on a cargo vessel to make a world record of 306Km/h in a certain class of races in the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, riding on his 1920's Indian Scout motorbike.
While it is expected that more and more baby-boom generation in Japan are going to retire in coming years, the movie based on a real story that Burt Munro made the world record at his 60's seems timely.
The movie was produced without U.S. funds. But Japanese funds contributed to its production, making its completion possible.
In the universe and on the ground, you can be tested regardless of your age, at the risk of your life or even routinely as prominent TV personalities; but you may win once for all so that you will laugh heartily like Burt the Fastest.
Yet, you need faith (even if you have already made a world record of a certain kind which is widely well known).

A Genealogical Tree Since 1776
A Genealogical Tree Since 1776
Mr. Takashi Hirose, a prominent author in Japan, published a book titled "Sekai Sekiyu Senso (World Oil Wars)" in 2002.
He pointed out that oil incurs wars and wars incur arms business. In this context, he especially mentioned Mr. Adnan Khashoggi.
According to other source, "his 'services' as a 'facilitator' have never ceased throughout US administrations since Nixon, and lately, he met with Richard Perle, shortly before the American invasion of Iraq, in 2003" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adnan_Khashoggi).
Mr. Hirose showed various genealogical trees in his book. The following scheme has been arranged based on public knowledge and an original genealogical tree in Mr. Hirose's book as of early 2002, in order to present a certain genealogy of public figures, which is mysteriously connected with Mr. Khashoggi:
"Till the beginning of the Age of Wars on Terror [2001], with

Mr. Adnan Khashoggi [1935-]
(a Saudi Arabian agent of the US military industry),

/
Mr. Winston Churchill
(a grandchild of Winston S. Churchill, British Prime Minister),
/

Pamela Digby [1920-1997]
(a backer of Mr. Bill Clinton; also the wife of Averell Harriman [1891-1986] who was the US King of Railroads and also a backer of the Bushes),
/
/a daughter of

Constance Pamela Bruce
(the wife of Edward Kenelm Digby, a nephew of the wife of Alexander Hugh Baring of a prominent UK financial clique),

Nathan Rothschild [1777-1836]
(the King of Finance in England),

from the Declaration of Independence of the U.S. [1776]."

Humbly accepting the historical fact, it is God who would let it sustain itself or not at His will.
(Rich Israelites alone cannot enjoy wealth and power in Europe and thus the U.S. It is German elites in the 18th century that trusted and backed a certain Israelite family who became and is still one of the richest one in Europe today. Anti-Semitism is regarded as an internal conflict among Christians, at least, in this context. In addition, Semitism and Ant-Semitism were, and have been, very remote thing in Japan both before and after WWII.)
* * *
And, though Mr. Hirose does not rely on the Internet to gather information (his sources are printed materials open to the world), the Internet should not be used in any harming manner against any individuals and religions. Otherwise, as the Internet is originally an infrastructure of the US Department of Defense, DOD should take the Internet off the world market.
(Can't DOD introduce new technical and procedural specifications to allow every router set at providers and exchanges to shut down a path to a worldly-admitted illegal site? Could anybody identify all the routers in the world public domain and their routing tables?)

Now, you would not be surprised if Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, and Jesus Christ are studied in one context, though not in a direct family tree.

Another Episode
Another Episode
As another episode contained in the book written by the said notable Japanese author who studied political and financial scandals in the U.S. and Europe, Mr. Harry Belafonte, who last year made a controversial speech at Duke University, had once purchased a whole condominium building in New York to live in one apartment because an owner of the building had refused to rent it to him.
Also, as Mr. Harry Belafonte made a controversial speech on Mr. Colin Powel and Ms. Condoleezza Rice, he was, so to speak, summoned into that famous "Larry King Live," according to the book.
* * *
My concern is however also on such issues as Mitochondrial Eve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve) who lived almost 200,000 years ago in Africa and became one of common mothers of all the contemporary humans including Africans and Japanese.
And, 98% of human genes are the same as those found in a chimpanzee.
Even a round worm called Caenorhabditis has 18,000 genes, while a human being has 34,000 genes in a genome, the difference in which is astonishingly small when considering that the worm has only 969 cells in its whole body but a human being has more than 60 trillion cells to be controlled.
(For God to terminate evolution of mankind would be as easy as His doing so to a worm, if we, as a young species, continue to neglect His will.)

Money cannot increase the number of genes. Only for this reason, you can be poor, can't you?
