SECTION I: HOMICIDE RATES
Japan’s murder rate is the lowest among OECD countries:
Worst No.1…Mexico….13 victims per 100,000 people
No.2…USA….5.6
No.3….Turk…3.8
No.4…Slovakia…2.7
No.5…Swiss…2.6
No.6…Portugal…2.6
No.7…Czech….2.3
No.8….Hungary….2.3
No.9….South Korea…2.2
….
No. 30…Japan….0.5
However, the ratio is 55.3 for El Salvador, 49 for Jamaica, 45.2 for Guatemala, and 45 for Venezuela.
Most of Central America countries seem to be ten times more dangerous than the U.S., while the U.S. is almost ten times more perilous than Japan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_murder_rate
And, as the murder rate is 1.64 for France, the country is better than Israel with the rate of 2.62, according to the most recent survey.
Note also that in 1974 the rate is 141 for Lebanon; 269 for Albania in 1997; and 65.8 for Columbia even in 2002.
But who would launch the War on Global Murders, especially targeting Central and South Americas?
A holy lesson here is that "be thankful to God if the murder rate around you is the one near to Japan’s."
Japanese should, of course, consider the launching of the War on Global Murders, leading permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.
For this international campaign, its headquarters can be established in Tokyo.
SECTION II: MONITORING BLOGS
There are some reports on monitoring blogs by US Government agencies:
-------
Hot on the heels of our post earlier this week about corporate blog monitoring, the Washington Times reveals that the CIA is now tracking blogs and other ‘open source’ intelligence resources:

-------
Also there is an FT report on monitoring blogs by UK Government agencies; but as usual, British media lacks ability to understand and praise things concerned with Japan:
-------
The COI, the UK government’s communications agency, is working on a way to monitor what people say about policy on blogs and internet forums for the media briefings it sends to ministers….
The media buyer said this lagged far behind China and south Korea where blogging – mostly devoid of politics in China – was more widespread, and less likely to be seen as self-interested as it is in the west…
The vast majority of blogs in the UK and the US are abandoned after a relatively short period of time or read by only a handful of friends or contacts.

SECTION III: MONITORING BLOGS (2)
An ex-elite bureaucrat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan also wrote that his blog, used in his consulting business, was surely under surveillance by CIA and other US military agencies.
http://blog.goo.ne.jp/shiome/e/0918f89715f57369e3952119c53521fd
He also introduced a document on “Blogs and Military Information Strategy” issued by US joint Special Operations University, though it states that “the views expressed in this publication are entirely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views, policy or position of the U.S. Government, Department of Defense, USSOCOM, or the Joint Special Operations University.”

Some noteworthy descriptions in the above document are as follows:
----
U.S. information operations (IO) in Iraq have run up against a formidable cyber-savvy foe in the fight to influence and control cyberspace. The insurgent cyberforce has fought well against the highly-financed and organized U.S. IO community…
As of April 2006, Technorati.com was tracking 35.3 million weblogs and recording 75,000 new ones each day…
Technorati found that the New York Times, CNN, and The Washington Post still garnered the most links, but the top blog (Boing Boing) beat out such media sites as PBS, Fox News, and Time magazine…
There are certain to be cases where some blog, outside the control of the U.S. government, promotes a message that is antithetical to U.S. interests, or actively supports the informational, recruiting and logistical activities of our enemies….
Given the current state of U.S. and international law, and the distribution of the necessary authorities among many (often competing) government agencies, any future conduct of influence operations through the blogosphere will require a truly integrated interagency approach, and thus belongs properly at the national level as a part of an overarching Strategic Communications effort….
Finally, the suggested techniques for using computer network attacks against blogs in support of influence operations are hypothetical as well, and require testing before they can be employed…
One of the significant limitations of this paper, as an initial foray into military use of the blogosphere, is that much of the information available concerns American blogs, run by Americans, largely for an American audience. Military use of the blogosphere must necessarily focus on foreign blogs, bloggers and audiences…
----
EEE Reporter can be monitored by anybody, including CIA and the White House.
I hope that CIA and the White House would start to walk in God’s way together with EEE Reporter, since Princess Diana died in 1997; the 9/11 Terror Occurred in 2001; the great Sumatra Tsunami happened in 2004; Great Earthquake hit Pakistan and Hurricane Katrina raged in the U.S. in 2005; and Myanmar and South China, south and north of Tibet, are now suffering the aftermath of the great cyclone and earthquake, respectively.
Do not forget that EEE Reporter was giving a warning against the US financial crisis including the subprime-loan problem even in these years.

If the blog culture cannot successfully flourish in Japan, a country with one of the smallest murder rates in the world, blogs cannot be handled by mankind for its peace and prosperity.
Chinese people will learn lessons from Japan so as to eventually start a revolution to introduce true democracy.
Americans also will learn lessons from Japan so as to eventually start a religious revolution and walk in God’s way.
That is why I am observing some potentially influential blogs in Japan as introduced in these days.
(Mr. John Edwards has endorsed Mr. Obama.
Now, every net savvy is writing that the game was over, since every cartoonist is attacking Mrs. Clinton.
But, “we know it can’t be done by a handful of people in each local union or in Washington, DC. It is going to take an army of working people fanned out across America, and that’s what we’re building. This year, were not just going to win the election. We’re going to restore the American Dream.”

If Mr. Obama does not walk in God’s way, he as President will surely make some happy but more disappointed.
What do you think about that?
A labor union without Marxists but with poor and good natured citizens is better than ultra-rightists, including various pretenders, actors, and players, isn’t it?
Oh, please pretend to be in love, if you are not so sure, Mlles.)
Mar 5:16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
Mar 5:17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
Mar 5:18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
Mar 5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
