(A Memory of Floods)
EEE Miracles
You may think that God has nothing to do with you, while you do not know why you were born at a certain point of the human history.
You might not have been born, if the God so wishes.
That is why I am praising God with my acknowledging all the miracles happening around me in these days, though I am just a poor man living so poorly.
Truly I am not a president of a railroad company, the president of a nation, a defense minister or a parliament member, or an executive in the financial sector or a TV business.
But just an inhabitant living in a city overlooking a holy river.
SECTION I: Railroad Accident in Los Angeles
If you have friends in Los Angeles, the accident must have been very shocking to you, though a bus fallen from a cliff in Sichuan Province, China, took about 50 lives and terror bombings in New Delhi claimed scores of lives yesterday.

Metrolink officials say trains crashed after their engineer drove through red light
Federal transportation officials say it's too early to determine what caused the crash that has killed at least 25 people and left 135 more injured, 40 of them critically.

Last week, I displayed rather somber scenery taken from a running train and at a railroad station around Tokyo.
Some of viewers must have been alerted to implications of red signs and signals displayed on pictures, since I usually avoid display of such uncomfortable elements in a scene in the picture corner of this blog.
Indeed, a big train accident occurred in Los Angeles taking lives of 25 people.
I believe there are still some non-nonsense viewers of EEE Reporter in Los Angeles who could evade this kind of tragedy through his or her belief in the Gospel and EEE Reporter.
SECTION II: Mr. Kim of North Korea Disabled
Is this a result from some clandestine operation of a ceratin country or divine justice?

Chinese doctors performed surgery on N. Korean leader after stroke
BEIJING, Sept. 14 KYODO
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il collapsed from a stroke on Aug. 14 and underwent surgery performed with help from five Chinese military doctors dispatched by China at North Korea's request, according to multiple Chinese sources.
The sources said that while Kim is recovering from the stroke, he is still experiencing problems in the functioning of his limbs, which is typical with stroke victims.

-----------------------------------------------
The state of politically fatal illness of Mr. Kim Jon-Il was globally revealed after I had and while I was writing a warning so many times to North Korea for their act of atrocity of abduction of Japanese citizens over these decades.
Accordingly, the Bush Administration abandoned the idea of diplomatically accommodating North Korea with expectation that President Mr. George W. Bush would score good points in his foreign policy just like the failed attempt by the Clinton Administration in the last days of their presidency.
Though President Mr. Bill Clinton finally and fatally failed in dealing with North Korea despite his Secretary of State’s visit to Pyongyang, President Mr. George W. Bush can avoid following suit owing to the recent information about disabling state of Mr. Kim Jong-Il.
There must be some serious readers of EEE Reporter among families of Japanese abductees, though they may be reading this blog in Japanese translation (Oh my Goodness!).
SECTION III: Japan’s Aegis Ship "Atago"
On Sunday morning, Japan Time, the Japan’s Aegis ship ATAGO found a suspicious submarine in the Pacific Ocean off Kochi City of the Shikoku Island.
Several months ago, I displayed pictures of Atago of Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force anchored at a naval port in Yokosuka City on the Tokyo Bay.
It was a few weeks after an accident that Atago hit and sank a fish boat.
But this time, officers and crew of this modern naval ship could well perform their duty, since the submarine yet to be identified seems to be a Chinese one.
Coincidentally, around Sunday, the five candidates for the presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, including two former Defense Ministers, were going on their collective campaign tour in Kochi City.
One of the former Defense Ministers is of course Ms. Yuriko Koike, the only female candidate for the LDP president who is promised to be elected as Japan’s Prime Minister in the parliament, for the LDP is a majority ruling party in the Lower House.
I like, as you suspect, the type of machine like Atago, since without it Russia would illegally arrest more Japanese fishing boats, North Korea would pursue more covert operations in Japan’s territorial sea, China would invade Japan’s Senkaku Islands, also known as Diaoyutai Qundao, in the East China Sea, South Korea would put a slur on Japan in any disputable incidents in the past history, and the United States would request to the Japanese Government more military bases and financial contribution to their military operation.
As for Ms. Yuriko Koike, if she is disqualified, all the female politicians or Diet members in Japan are also disqualified. Or which do you trust honest Ms. Koike or highly biased, elitist, or pretender female politicians of the liberal parties in Japan?
And, she is one of beauties of her generation who were educated and brought up when Japan was not so contaminated by American commercialism and European immorality, though she learnt in Cairo and interviewed the late Mr. Yasir Arafat when she was a TV reporter.
Anyway, this is not personal at all by way of caution.
SECTION IV: Lehman Brothers and Fuji TV
----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy
On September 13, 2008, Timothy R. Geithner, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York called a meeting on the future of Lehman, which included the possibility of an emergency liquidation of its assets.[37] Lehman reported that it had been in talks with Bank of America and Barclays for the company's possible sale.

Jeb Bush: Lehman’s Secret Weapon
Posted by Dana Cimilluca
In the arms race by private-equity firms to line up ever-higher profile “advisers,” Lehman Brothers may have just taken the lead.
According to a small handful of reports Friday, including this one in Investment Dealers’ Digest and another in Private Equity Hub, the investment bank has hired former Florida Governor and presidential son and brother Jeb Bush for its in-house investing arm.
No sign of an announcement from Lehman on the hire.
Private-equity firms hire politicos and former corporate honchos all the time to help them open doors to deals, as well as to manage government relations and the companies in their portfolios. Carlye Group chief David Rubenstein, in fact, discussed the increasing value of such moves in this Q&A published in The Wall Street Journal today.
No family these days has better door-opening skills in Washington or corporate America than the Bushes. The family of the 41st and 43rd presidents is no stranger to Wall Street either. Jeb’s father, George H.W., used to serve as an adviser to Carlyle, and his grandfather was a partner at Wall Street firm Brown Brothers Harriman.
It is the second corporate gig for the former Florida governor, who stepped down after two terms in January. He already has joined the board of Tenet Healthcare.

In one of the most dramatic days in Wall Street’s history, Merrill Lynch agreed to sell itself to Bank of America for roughly $50 billion to avert a deepening financial crisis, while another prominent securities firm, Lehman Brothers, hurtled toward liquidation after it failed to find a buyer, people briefed on the deals said.

I have been giving warnings on Mafia like behaviors of those involved in business conducted in Wall Street.
Even a few years ago, when Livedoor of Japan tried to actually purchase Fuji TV, a television station in Tokyo, I strongly warned those concerned for their anti-public behaviors supported by funds of Lehman Brothers.
I do not especially like the Fuji TV station, since they present immoral figures so often on air like other channels.
But, they have one nice building on the Tokyo Bay which looks like an artistic fortress in the eyes of classical warriors.
*******************************************************************
Last night, namely Sunday night in Japan though today Monday is a special national holiday in Japan to respect elders and the aged, I saw a British film on TV.
It featured huge floods that half submerged London.
Indeed, if the Arakawa River flowing into the Tokyo Bay floods, it is expected tens of thousands of Tokyo residents would be left dead.
That is why I am telling you that the Arakawa River is holy, as I have presented so much scenery along and around the Arakawa River water system.
You may suspect that your life is in God’s hands so critically, if not EEE Reporter’s at all from a religious point of view, in case that you are living in or staying at Tokyo.
Of course, to save souls as many as possible is my first priority since I live on the Kanto Plain just like so many Americans nowadays.
Mat 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
