(Mt. Fuji 60 Miles Distant on August 14, 2008, Taken by EEE Reporter for You)Olives and the Glory (4) - Japan's August 15
Now, His Majesty Emperor and Her Majesty Empress are gravely attending Japan's National Ceremony to Commemorate the End of the Great War (World War II) as the live TV news program is reporting while the noon has come.
* * *
Last night, around 11:30 p.m., I was watching a cable TV program featuring ancient Georgia or Jason and Medea.
Around 0:00 a.m. this morning, I was watching a Japanese movie on TV featuring the last days of the Empire of Japan and the super battleship Yamato.
Then, I checked the late-night TV news program to know that Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain are still in heated campaigns with 48% and 42% support from U.S. voters, respectively.
Today, at the dead of night, they will broadcast a women’s volleyball match of the Olympic Games between Japan and Cuba.
Indeed, Japan is now in the middle of the Buddhist festival period called "Bon" to piously respect ancestors, though I have some work to do in these days.
SECTION I: August 15, 1945
Today, August 15, is one of the most important days for Japan.
You must respect January 1 and August 15 so piously in Japan, since August 15 is the day when Emperor Showa ordered the ceasefire to all the Imperial troops to put an end to World War II.
SECTION II: The Glory of the Olive
Pope John Paul II was inaugurated on October 16, 1978.
As his reign was so long, people wondered even just for curiosity when and how the next Pope would come to the Papal See.
But, the answer was crystal-clear: the Glory of the Olive as St. Malachy prophesied 800 years ago.
It should be interpreted as follows: “When the Olympic Games are held in Athens, the next Pope will succeed Pope John Paul II.”
So, when the 2004 Athens Olympic Games were officially scheduled, Pope John Paul II must have realized when he had to give his holy seat to his successor being symbolized by the Malachy’s word “the Glory of Olive.”
You might forget it, but as John Paul II’s reign was so long that people in the world really wondered when and how the next Pope would come to put on the Papal Crown, while the Cold War was over, Japan became the second largest economy in the world, China was introducing the market economy, and Islamic terrorists started to directly attack the U.S. interests after the Persian Gulf War.
In 1980’s, 1990’s, and early 2000’s, the only non-nonsense question in the Christian world was when and how the next Pope would come to the Papal See (rather than who would).
(However, the factional struggle to pursue initiatives at the Vatican leadership must have been severe, since the Soviet Union and Israel were highly concerned with the Holy See's influence and U.S. Democratic-style Christianity was globally spreading with commercialism, which was finally resulted in the victory of cardinals who respected St. Augustine, the Olive of the Catholic sphere.)
Therefore, "the Glory of the Olive" has a very significant meaning, since it tells that the next Pope would come when the Olympic Games are held in Athens.
Within a year after the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Pope Benedictus XVI assumed the highest office in the Vatican as you know.
Indeed, if someone is in an official position for almost 30 years, you would really want to know when his successor will appear. And St. Malachy gave an answer 800 years ago.
SECTION III: Electric Power Plants
Japan has been the greatest Asian center of electric power consumption.
But, how small number of people in the world have ever read documents, texts, comments, and sentences any Japanese has ever written in English to global readers! That is why you have to read EEE Reporter, since it gives you reliable information on the world.
Current Global State of Nuclear Power Plants
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Country……No. in Operation……Due to be Built
USA………………………100……………………35
FRANCE…………………59………………………0
JAPAN………………55…………………13
RUSSIA…………………27………………………48
UK…………………………19………………………0
GERMANY………………17………………………0
INDIA……………………17……………………26
CHINA……………………11……………………30
------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, safe methods for disposing of nuclear waste are yet to be fully established.
Therefore, my suggestion is to review the coal-fired power plants.
China and the U.S. are major users of the coal-fired power plants, but their facilities and systems are not suitable in the era of anti-global warming and anti-pollution.
If we can contain heat and gas emitted from the coal-fired power plant more effectively, we can do away with oil-fired power plants.
The amount of coal reserves in the world is large and enough to sustain the global civilization for almost 200 years while crude oil can do only for 50 years or so.
My idea is to build a coal-fired power plant below the ground. Heat and other emissions should be guided and led deep into the underground through special structures and equipment.
You throw coal into the underground plant and then only electric power is sent back to the surface and grids without being accompanied by heat and emissions.
Consequently, the consumption of crude oil will be drastically reduced all over the world and the global warming will be deterred deep under the ground until the next Little Ice Age comes.
By way of caution, it is very important for you to read any proposals written in English by a non-nonsense Japanese, since Japan understands the nuclear power more than Russians, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, and North Koreans (who have abducted a hundred or so Japanese for covert operations).

That is all for today.
I recommend you a good rest, since you must have been working hard these days without going for vacation, say, in Hawaii.
But, if you finally fail in enjoying super endless holidays in Heaven after death, you will not even remember how you have enjoyed fabulous vacations in this world.
Anyway, I don’t think the Vatican people are in a state to take a vacation, since Peter the Roman is yet to come.
August 15 is yet to come for the Vatican and the U.S.
