The Era of Armageddon from 1984 to 2024?
(L'ère de l'Armageddon de 1984 - 2024)
Last night, I found the moon looking dim over a cloud. Indeed, a humbly twinkling red star in the north sky just above a lane I was walking on was then the only visible star all over the night sky. Then after, when I looked back to the north sky to confirm the red star still visible, I saw the star becoming brighter and more flickering, as if moving. A moment later my surprise was subdued, since it was an airplane just flying up while passing the red star as if checking me walking down south on the ground. A miracle in the night of spring or not?
SECTION I: “JAP!”
Japanese people know that non-nonsense Americans or non-foolish Americans never say “Jap!” to Japanese.

Resolved Question:
What is the definition of a jewish american princess?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Jewish American Princess or JAP (not to be confused with the ethnic slur directed towards people of Japanese nationality) originally refers to Jewish women with privileged backgrounds in the United States. It can be taken and meant as an ethno-religious and/or sexist stereotype or slur.
The word characterizes a stereotype about young women who have been spoiled by material wealth and overbearing parenting to the point that they are self-absorbed, pampered, high-maintenance, whiny, materialistic, and snobby. Since the slur reflects a phenomenon that is not limited to Jewish families, it has also been extended to other ethnic groups. In the American Northeast, it is frequently used as a religiously neutral term to describe any affluent, free-spending suburban woman.
...The notion is that many who are raised in the affluent environments have lost any sense of continuity with their hardworking parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. To a lesser extent, the term has been co-opted by some Jewish women as a term of affection or identity.

SECTION II: “Would you like Atomic bombs to attack your country?”
Now, some Japanese anti-nuclear-weapons advocates based on Hiroshima are traveling in the U.S. to appeal to American citizens for supporting an idea of abolishing nuclear weapons, though they do not seem successful at all.

Resolved Question:
I know, My country (Japan) was "bad" during WWII (Mainly because of our government) but this doesn't mean that Americans need to say offensive and evil things to me.
Americans have said some evil things about the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Would you like Atomic bombs to attack your country?...
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Americans are fearful of Asian cultures. The languages seem impossible (remember, Americans aren't big readers) and the systems so different. The US is the only country in the world to drop a class A bomb on anyone. That's not a thing to brag about. I used to live in Japan. The Japanese today learned a LOT from WWII. The Americans learned nothing. I guess if people say bad things to you, just remember -- they don't know who their congress people are but the know Mayor McCheese. Don't lower yourself to their level.

SECTION III: “I am not anti Jewish.....I am anti Zionist”
Some critics in Japan say that the U.S. is killing more people in Iraq than Chinese troops are now doing in Tibet. But, I like to focus on Israel without whose contribution to avoiding the US War on Iraq the War really began, even though it is too apparent and obvious to everybody, since Israel was attacked by Iraq launching Scud missiles in the Persian Gulf War.

There are at least three ways in which aid to Israel is different from that of any other country. First, since 1982, U.S. aid to Israel has been transferred in one lump sum at the beginning of each fiscal year, which immediately begins to collect interest in U.S. banks. Aid that goes to other countries is disbursed throughout the year in quarterly installments.
Second, Israel is not required to account for specific purchases…
A third difference is the sheer amount of aid the U.S. gives to Israel, unparalleled in the history of U.S. foreign policy… In other words, Israel, a country of approximately 6 million people, is currently receiving more U.S. aid than all of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean combined when you take out Egypt and Colombia...
The total amount of direct U.S. aid to Israel has been constant, at around $3 billion (usually 60% military and 40% economic) per year for the last quarter century...
In addition to nearly $3 billion in direct aid, Israel usually gets another $3 billion or so in indirect aid: military support from the defense budget, forgiven loans, and special grants. While some of the indirect aid is difficult to measure precisely, it is safe to say that Israelÿs total aid (direct and indirect) amounts to at least five billion dollars annually…
According to the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE), from 1949-2001 the U.S. has given Israel a total of $94,966,300,000. The direct and indirect aid from this year should put the total U.S. aid to Israel since 1949 at over one hundred billion dollars. What is not widely known, however, is that most of this aid violates American laws. The Arms Export Control Act stipulates that US-supplied weapons be used only for "legitimate self-defense."
...To understand why the U.S. spends this much money funding the brutal repression of a colonized people, it is necessary to examine the benefits for weapons manufacturers and, particularly, the role that Israel plays in the expansion and maintenance of U.S. imperialism.

SECTION IV: Armageddon
Around 1980, I remember I read some about Armageddon predicted to occur in the Middle East in 1984.
“…The Soviet Union would send thousands or more of tanks and armed vehicles from the north to Palestine through Syria to attack Israel. NATO will also dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops and combat vehicles to the Middle East. The U.S. would be dragged into the war to defend Israel in vain. The Soviet tanks would further advance to South Europe and eventually to the Vatican. Jerusalem and Rome would be left ruined while the U.S. and the Soviet Union would enter the final stage of the all-out nuclear warfare…”
------
But, he added soothingly, "no one knows whether those prophecies mean that Armageddon is a thousand years away or day after tomorrow. So I have never seriously warned and said we must plan according to Armageddon."
Despite that disclaimer, Reagan's critics wonder whether the President's apparent belief in a particular biblical scenario for the end of the world means that he might consider nuclear war a divine instrument.

In the summer of 1945, Japan was attacked by the U.S. with two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
However, as symbolized by the success of Sony Corporation, Japan recovered and even helped China economically grow by offering for decades aid worth over one hundred billion dollars, just like US accumulated aid to Israel, including money, industrial properties, business know-how, and so on.
And now, from Davos to the White House, everybody seems to be under influence of money China is distributing for its covert operation to gain secret or open support for whatever policies China is pushing while neglecting human rights, for example, of Tibetans.
And meanwhile, in 1990, the total amount of land prices all over Japan reached $24 trillion (which surpassed the then total value of the US land) in its bubble economic boom.
In 1997, the total amount of land prices all over Japan fell to $17 trillion as the bubble was squashed.
In short, Japan lost $ 7 trillion in the decade, while the subprime loan problem today has violently consumed only $1 trillion.
What I mean is that Armageddon might not happen in the Middle East or around Israel involving the Vatican, but it can be triggered by China, which can be however only stopped by Japan, since Japan is the only country that have learnt holy lessons from WWII through nuclear bomb attacks and from the true modern-age bubble economy through a $7 trillion loss while helping China expand its economy to the extent that it can really threat the global environment.
And, one of the creeds of the Buddhism is that mankind may experience Armageddon as many times as necessary to attain enlightenment while repeating the building of civilization and its destruction until every member of mankind gets to the spiritual status called the Buddha.
(Now, folks and Mlles., look up at the sky. Then you will feel somebody in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, and Tibet also looking up at the sky. If you feel stupid in terms of your human relationships or financial conditions, still a miracle could happen, if not one portending Armageddon but heralding something, something so nice…maybe…or not…since it looked like another Mars…
Or has anybody prophesied that when the Earth should rise on the horizon of the moon as reported by Japan...)
