(In the end the love you take is equal to the love you didn't fake...)Sinners Lend to Sinners
(Pécheurs prêtent aux pécheurs)
I really send a message of condolence to those recently victimized in Jerusalem and Palestine as well as Iraq and Afghanistan.
SECTION I: Dancing President
Yes, I saw US President Mr. George W. Bush dancing comically at a porch for seconds while waiting for a car carrying Mr. John McCain to the White House.
Mr. George W. Bush is the first US President in history who has made an honest effort to look humble by dancing comically to the public, which will be one of big legends of his Administration in history
I don’t think President “Hillary” or President “Obama” is yet to be matured to dance comically at a porch of the White House just to look humble to the public.
In addition, The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, a Japanese newspaper claiming its sales of 10 million copies per day, this morning posted an editorial casting its doubt on economic policy of “Hillary” and “Obama,” since the conservative Japanese newspaper is strongly supporting free trade.
Indeed, except the mad-cow meat trading issue, there have been no serious problems between Japan and the United States in terms of economy and general diplomacy under the Bush Administration, as contrasted with the Bill Clinton’s Administration that virtually overlooked anti-Japanese policy by the Chinese Communist Party.
Finally, I suppose that President Mr. Bush is the largest factor for the success Mr. Barack Hussein Obama has achieved so far politically.
Mr. Bush’s decision to let Mr. Powell and Ms. Rice command the State Department for eight consecutive years has really influenced US voters’ paradigm on the US Administration and their view on African American elites.
The sequence, “Powell” --> “Condoleezza” --> “Obama,” now looks so natural due to the great personnel policy pursued by President Mr. George W. Bush, which will hence be also one of big legends of his Administration in history.
(Mr. George Walker Bush might be praised in the fture text book for children in line with Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon Baines Johnson.)
SECTION II: Carlyle Capital
The New York Times reported on a touchy situation of Carlyle Capital, the investment fund linked to the private equity firm Carlyle Group.
The Carlyle fund, which invested about $22 billion in mortgage debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, said on Thursday that it had missed four of seven margin calls worth a total of $37 million and said it expected to receive at least one more default notice.

This report by The New York Times might turn to be prophetic just like a book on the Carlyle Group written by Mr. Dan Briody, “The Iron Triangle: Inside the Secret World of the Carlyle Group.”

SECTION III: "Latest News on Sub-Prime Loans"
Mr. Ben Shalom Bernanke of FRB reportedly said on May 21, 2007 that the influence of the subprime loan issue on the US housing sector was limited, and it would never significantly affect the whole US economy and its financial system, according to a certain useful Japanese Web site titled "Latest News on Sub-Prime Loans."
( http://subprime.seesaa.net/ )
This Japanese site also reported on May 24, 2007 that a total 37,000 house-loan fraud cases were reported to the Department of Treasury in 2006.
This Web site tracking and presenting detailed movements related to the sub-prime loan problem, however, suddenly stopped its update on May 30, 2007.
Its last report was about a schedule of US Congress to have an official hearing from FRB on this large-scale criminal housing-loan scheme.
Since then, the landscape of the US housing-loan world changed drastically as everybody knows.
But, since May 30, 2007, the very informative Japanese Web site on the subprime-loan issue has kept silent.
Indeed, some experts in Japan must have been involved in real efforts to cope with this issue, while the US Government, the Japanese Government, and the US/Japanese Media believed or were pretending to believe that the subprime loan issue was minor one.
SECTION IV: Jesus Christ Said, “Sinners Lend to Sinners”
I really read the following part of the Gospel as a principle of Jesus' Economics:
Luk 6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
Luk 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Luk 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Luk 6:33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
Luk 6:34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
* * *
Now, look around.
This is the reality in the world where one-third of people are a kind of fiddlers, another one-third of people are self-seekers, and only the last one-third of people honestly feel or acknowledge sins in themselves and the society they belong to.
Good vs. evil is the main theme for human history but not material success vs. failure.
Be good and poor so that you can be part of victory of the history of mankind.
Conversely, if all the people in this world share the common heart and mind of super-rich people, there would be no sustainable peace in the world, since everybody would start to join any conspiracies to be richer, including such a conspiracy as to make people believe that the 9/11 Terror was an act of conspiracy by the Bush Administration the main purpose of which must be just making people blind and confused and also averting pursuing eyes from the key issues such as huge accumulation of oil dollars in the vicinity of AlQaeda's home ground.
[The US Government has spent $737 billion on the War on Terror since 2001. But they could not arrest Mr. Osama bin Laden. The true conspiracy might lie here. US voters should make the next President (yet to be) officially committed to arresting Mr. Osama bin Laden who is also responsible for score of Japanese killed in the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.]
