Japan's Defense Minister Ordered the Navy Friday to Return to the Indian Ocean - New York Times -


(Le ministre de la Défense du Japon Commandé vendredi à la marine Retour à l'océan Indien - New York Times --)



New York Times Online posted the news from Tokyo, telling that Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda has successfully fulfilled his critical mission to have a bill to send Maritime-Self-Defense-Forces ships to the Indian Ocean passed in the Japanese Parliament despite strong opposition from the Opposition.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/world/AP-Japan-Anti-Terrorism.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

New York Times did very appropriate coverage, for this issue has been the most argued political agenda since the last summer when the Opposition took control over the Upper House of the Japanese Parliament called Diet.

As the Opposition launched a sort of warped strategy to obstacle the passage for reconfirming the bill that allows Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Forces to partially join the US operation in the area, former Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe got into a painful situation.

The situation also got aggravated by various incidents, such as a conflict between then female Defense Minister Ms. Yuriko Koike and then vice minister Mr. Moriya.

Also, as liberal critics and pundits, leveraging the situation, intensified their attack on Mr. Shinzo Abe, he approached the limits in maintaining his physical, mental, social, and political balance while performing his duty, and eventually resigned so abruptly, which might have however caused more confusions and troubles, domestically and internationally, unless he candidly expressed his limits to his aids and political allies.

So, the issue on dispatching the support fleet to the Indian Ocean became the most critical one for the new Prime Minister, Mr. Yasuo Fukuda, who has to rely on a special article of the Constitution that gives superiority to the Lower House when a bill is rejected in the Upper House as long as the former can pass the bill with more than two-thirds-majority votes.

Article 59.
A bill becomes a law on passage by both Houses, except as otherwise provided by the Constitution.

A bill which is passed by the House of Representatives, and upon which the House of Councillors makes a decision different from that of the House of Representatives, becomes a law when passed a second time by the House of Representatives by a majority of two-thirds or more of the members present...
* * *

Accordingly, the Oppositions, critics and the media in Japan are arguing propriety of politically and strategically resorting to Article 59 of the Japanese Constitution, since such application of the law is first since one single unique case in 1951.

This provision of the Constitution belongs to the paradigm of WWII.

Adolf Hitler got hegemony of Germany through election and a relative majority in Parliament.

Though US officials working under General MacArthur in Tokyo after WWII thought democratic Japan needed only a one-chamber system in the Diet, Japanese politicians held fast with the adoption of the two-chamber system, since the Empire of Japan had a two-chamber system consisting of the House of Representatives and the House of Lords (there was the noble class around the Imperial family in Japan before WWII).

The US officials working under General MacArthur thought so because Japan is a single-race country.

But, the Japanese are not a mass of simple minded people. Japanese society is as complicated as the U.S. Japan needs a two-chamber system.

But, the basic idea, the framework of ideas, or the paradigm that occupied the minds of people involved in developing the new Japanese Constitution after WWII was influenced, of course, by incidents that had led to WWII or more specifically the rise of Hitler.

Conversely, if there is a three-year period until the next election for the Upper House members after the Lower House has been usurped by a kind of Nazis, the Upper House might be able to deter the progress of Nazis toward the unchecked exercise of power unless they have a two-thirds majority in the Lower House which even real Nazis could not achieve though in 1933 Hitler took to himself the legislative power from the national assembly of Germany.

Although it is impossible in Japan that a kind of Hitler would usurp power through election as the Japanese are not a mass of simple minded people, it is far better to have a two-party system no matter how costly it looks, taking into consideration possible disaster a Nazi-type political party would bring about on the people.

The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan is not a Nazi, and the War on Terror is not a WWII-type of wars; yet the constitutional system of Japan must function to prevent any security threat to Japan, such as new Nazis and a new World War.

Then, the issue is whether the current Japan's Constitution is effective or not in the paradigm of this era with new economy (symbolized by former Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi) and new conservatism (symbolized by former Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe), while the Constitution is essentially based on Christian ideal the U.S. introduced into Japan after WWII with a notion that European Christianity was insufficient.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party
* * *

As for the War on Terror and Japan's involvement in the War, I am very doubtful if it can be won under the leadership of the U.S.

One of the reasons is that there is no respectable and reasonable definition of the War and the last state of the victory if we win.

In addition, if the U.S. acts out of line or over the edge, Japan has to defend Asians and Muslims from mad violence of the U.S.

(It is already said that the US invasion of Iraq caused directly or indirectly one million death of Iraqi citizens including innocent house wives, children, infants, elders, and hard working honest Muslims.）

To send a signal to both the sides of the US/UK coalition and poor Muslims/Asians, I thought that Japan must call back its Self-Defense-Forces fleet from the Indian Ocean back to its home port in Japan at least once.

And, it was so done with a mercy of High God.
* * *

You have to also remember that this issue of cooperation with the U.S. Navy in the Indian Ocean is linked with Japan's another cooperation with the U.S. in terms of Japan's national security against North Korea, China, and Russia, all of which are armed with nuclear weapons and have no peace treaty, except China who often abuses anti-Japanese emotion among some of its people, with Japan so far as now.

Among them, the poorest and the most tragic nation, North Korea still refuses to release Japanese citizens abducted by their agency and have them return to Japan in safety.

Until 100 or so Japanese abductees, namely victims of the cold war in the Korean Peninsula, come back to Japan, the Japanese Government is requested to continue to pressure North Korea into giving up their espionage-centric strategy against Japan.

Especially, as former Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe had gained in big popularity through his stance on this North Korea-related issue, the simple logistical support for US and Pakistan Navies weighed so much on him and the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan.
* * *

So, the key words are (1) Japanese abductees by North Korea; (2) the example of Nazi's rise to power before WWII; (3) the Japanese basically Christian Constitution drafted under General MacArthur's control after WWII; (4) the poorly defined US War on Terror; and (5) Japan's mission to protect poor Asians and Muslims.

Indeed, the global politics is like riding on a bicycle, as President Mr. George Bush reportedly once or twice fell to the ground when pedaling along in his Texas ranch.

Truly, anybody can continue to run on a bicycle easily; but safely halting on a bicycle standing still for one or two minutes is very difficult, even if it is just for the purpose of sending a warning signal to your friend pedaling under the heavy escort against any attempts to make him fall.



(It rains today here, this Saturday afternoon, though not snowing like a few years ago.

Tomorrow it may be fine, though I may watch TV more, since I am still busy till midnight these days, not only for the new version of the Go game.

By the way, there is no reference to frogs in the Bible. Do you know the reason?)

New Divine Trinity: Omnipotence, Completeness, and Incompleteness

(You may still not believe that this Shinto shrine received two million pilgrims between January 1 and 3; but the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo received three million during the same holy period, since about 30 million people live in and around the Kanto Plain.)



New Divine Trinity: Omnipotence, Completeness, and Incompleteness

(Nouvelle Divine Trinité: omnipotence, Complétude et incomplet)



If you learn the depth and degree of integrity and completeness of Buddhism in terms of life, death, existence, and causality of human beings and spirits, you must naturally think that Christians 1,300 years ago made a big mistake or committed an unforgivable blasphemy against God, so that Islam was endowed to mankind.

(But, every poor and humble believer in Jesus and God in Europe, then and after, must not have been blamed and negatively influenced, while Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops were acting like a genius in religion but not faith.)

So, I like to put an end to this mystery of the emergence of Islam that denies Deity or Godhood of Jesus, since I am here in Japan in the era that all the Buddhism-influenced countries, such as Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and India, are making significant progress, no matter if it is in the material world.

(Indeed those Buddhism-learnt countries have today accumulated total US$ 3,161 billion foreign reserves that can destroy the US dollar system which some Israelite Americans are afraid of and very much afraid of.
[See the EEE Report on January 7, 2008.])


SECTION 1: Power of Buddhism and Greek Philosophy

One of the most critical issues since the seventh century, when Islam was endowed to a certain humble but lucky Arab by an Angel in the Arabian Peninsula, is the relationship between Christianity and Islam.

This issue can be only dealt with by Japanese, since no other races have ever mastered Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Greece Philosophy, and so on, in addition to the three religions directly linked with the relationship between Abraham and Yahweh.

I truly tell you, Americans, Europeans, Israelites, and Muslims, you might not understand the truth of your religion, namely, Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, until you master Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Greece Philosophy, and so on like Japanese have done as a whole race, though you can enjoy blessing each religion gives you as long as you are humble enough, since the God Almighty allowed for Buddhism and so on, too, with profound intention.

Indeed, you cannot, most probably, even imagine how the Bible and the Koran look like to the eye of those who mastered, for example, Buddhism.

Truly, you must know how difficult it is for ancient Christians to cope with philosophers in Greece who had developed very unique idea on the world based on words, too, though their philosophy is accompanied by a certain effect called the Pandora's Box.


SECTION 2: JESUS PREDICTED EMERGENCE OF ISLAM

My belief is that Jesus must have foretold the fate of Christianity before or while he was predicting the end of the world.

Luk 5:33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?

Luk 5:34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

Luk 5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

Luk 5:36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.

Luk 5:37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

Luk 5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

Luk 5:39 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.

The key paragraph is the following:
Luk 5:35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

The "bridegroom" is Jesus as the Son of God.

The expression "shall be taken away" means a new religion that denies the belief that Jesus as the Son of God will emerge.

The expression "they fast in those days" indicates the style of the new religion which happened to be Islam.

But, why? Why must it be taken away? Why should the glory of European Christianity be tarnished by God's approval of Islam that is based on the assertion that Jesus is not the Son of God?


SECTION 3: The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity: Unforgivable Blasphemy

Heritage of the Greek Civilization allowed for the higher level of material success of the Roman Empire, since the Empire respected and adopted the Greek heritage.

Heritage of the Greek Civilization and the Roman Empire in combination with Christianity allowed for higher level of material success of modern Europe, since Europeans as a whole did not abandon the faith in Jesus Christ though they had made so many wars against the will of Jesus Christ.

But, the Greek philosophy as a Pandora's Box influenced fatally Christianity before the emergence of Islam.

That is why Christians of the era started to argue the doctrine of holy trinity based on human wisdom and logic while relying on human immature interpretation of holy concepts.

Whatever its contents and details were, it is apparent that such argument displeased God.

So, as Jesus Christ himself had told beforehand, a new religion in which Jesus himself was regarded as a mere prophet or a mere human being was endowed to Arabs through an Angel.

It is just like a new number is created in the number space under infinity through interference of the number space above infinity which has full of subsets of religions.
[Refer to the EEE Report on January 10, 2008.]

Before the seventh century, Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops in Europe had insulted Jesus Christ enough to be judged that they had to face another strong religion where Jesus himself was regarded as a mere prophet or a mere human being, since their indecorum in their argument was tantamount to letting Jesus Christ and God down.

Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops in Europe in that era argued as if they had been a genius in religion so as to decide and define the state and the degree of glory of Jesus.

What is worse, even today, Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops in Europe have not been righteously and candidly aware of the irreverence their Church had done to Jesus Christ 1,300 years ago through the argument for the so called Trinity in Unity.

(One proof of their blasphemy is that 6 million Israelite Europeans were killed in the land with full of Christian churches adopting the trinity theory in WWII.)

That is why the God or Allah had prepared huge crude oil reserves in the land of Arabs in addition to Islam.

It is all to force repentance on Europeans, especially, their Popes, Cardinals, and archbishops, which is however yet to be fulfilled while a chance of a Religious Revolution in America is getting intensified.



SECTION 4: Christians in Pakistan Writing about Trinity in Unity

Refer to http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/newsdetails.php?newsid=585、for example.

...Puzzled, the Muslim asked, "What do you possess that we do not have?"

The elder answered, "Allah is my father, he knows me, cares for me and loves me. Christ is the Lamb of God, which carried away all my sins and has reconciled me with God. I will not be condemned and shall not go to hell because he has made me righteous before God. The Spirit of God dwells in me since Christ has purified my sinful heart. I can talk with my heavenly Father in my prayer and give him thanks for the eternal life which he granted me. I will not die, but I will live forever and rise from the dead as my Lord rose from the dead" (John 11:25-26).

The Muslim went away deep in thought because the elder had witnessed to him with simple words the reality of the unity of the Holy Trinity in his life...
* * *

Now, you know how much I care about poor and humble Christians in Europe.

Then, you know why Islam cannot be threat to their faith.

Finally, you might concede that God has given Buddhism to mankind from the holy space above the infinity to the human world below the infinity which symbolizes the level human thoughts and genius cannot reach forever if working so hard at the speed of light.

As for Shintoism, all you need in arguing is Japanese nationality if your ancestors are being respected so much as a god in a Shinto shrine.




(In my humble thought, God is God; a man is a man.

If God says that He is presently a man, we have to believe that He is a man presently without doubt.

So, true divine trinity should consist of Omnipotence, Completeness, and Incompleteness as I once wrote in this EEE Reporter series, for you.

If God becomes a man, it is not a miracle.

But, if a man is chosen to be a follower of the Son of God, indeed it is a miracle.

Having heard all these, Mesdemoiselles, do you think I am part of a miracle happening to you, since I have truly argued this trinity-in-unity thing?)


"CHANGED LIVES"

(EIN NEUEN LEBEN)




　　

The Number Larger Than Infinity Defined

(In every New Year Holiday season, two million Japanese make a pilgrimage to this shinto shrine just north of Tokyo, actually in the first three days of the year)




The Number Larger Than Infinity Defined
(Le nombre plus grand que l'infini n'est défini)


According to Einstein's Relativity Theory, if the speed of a moving object approaches the light speed, the distance or the space in front of the object gets shorter or smaller.

In my Relativity Theory of Numbers and Human Cognition, if a man thinks about Infinity, he must think at the light speed to comprehend as it is so infinite.

Yet, in most cases, the practice and trial would result in the diminution of his thinking ability and the halt of thinking eventually, and thus being included in the domain of "Zero" instead of the domain of "Infinity."

It means you have to rely on belief and faith when you think about a thing close to the domain of God, otherwise your thought will diminish to nothing and halt eventually, even if it does not fall into abnormality or madness.


SECTION 1: WE GOT ZERO

Mankind uses the decimal system (base 10), since a man has ten fingers on both the hands, usually.

But, of course, it can be a base-5 system, since we have 5 fingers on each hand.

(In this case, 5, 25 [= 5 x 5], 125 [= 5 x 5 x 5] and even 275 [= 5 x 55] might be regarded as significant numbers like 360, which means December 25, for Sumerians.)

It took a long time until mankind started to use the numeric symbol and the concept of zero.

In Greece and Rome, they essentially expressed 10 as X and 11 as XI.

In China and Japan, we essentially express 10 as "Jyu," with a kanji letter meaning 10, and 11 as "Jyu" "Ichi" with two kanji letters meaning 10 and 1, thus avoiding the use of "Zero" which has of course a kanji expression.

It is still a mystery why ancient Indians could invent the numeric symbol and the concept of zero. Probably, they loved calculation more than anybody.

Or, they might find it in their competition against Sumerians living in ancient Mesopotamia.
(Refer to the EEE Report on July 7, 2005.)


SECTION 2: INFINITY

If you learn how to count from one to five and then five to ten using fingers, you would not easily get the notion of infinity.

But, when you look up at the sky in the night and start to count the number of stars up there, you may be able to start a journey to infinity.

Indeed, the infinity is not a usual number but a target and a concept.

From infinity, any large number a man can imagine looks not so different from zero.

There is an infinite gap between any number a man can imagine and infinity.

Therefore, any large number a man can conceive looks like "a kind of 0," though "not exactly 0," if observed from infinity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_numbers


(With only two elements in this world, you can create any larger number by combining results of calculation using these two elements.

The total number of combinations of all the atoms and elementary particles in the material universe is actually the real meaningful largest number for mankind.

For, example, "a" and "b" are only two as a number of cases; but "aa," "ab," "ba," and "bb" are four; "aaa," "aab,".... can be larger, especially if "a" and "b" can move and shift in each position at the speed of light or faster.

In addition, if you take the time axis into consideration, the multiplied number will be further larger in this universe.)



SECTION 3: The Largest Number the God Created for our Universe

In science, it is proved that there is no such number that can be called "the largest number in this world."

It is because if there is such a number, say, expressed with "M," we can imagine the number "M" + 1 which is apparently larger than "M." Then, "M" cannot be the largest number in the world, since there can be "M + 1."

Yet, in faith, we can introduce the largest number "M."

We assume the following, since "M" is the largest number:
"M" + 1 = "M" or
"M" + "n" = "M" ("n" can be any number)

Or, rather, this is the definition of the largest number in the world or our universe.

The definition also implies that any number a man can conceive, such as 1 or 100, is exactly "0" when directly compared with "M."

We also assume that "M" is larger than infinity, since infinity is introduced so as to make 1, 100, and so on to be real as those numbers are no more compared with "M" but with infinity that at least accepts reality of those small numbers.

Rather, we believe that the God created "M" first and then other numbers in the way:
"n" = "M" - "(M - n)."

For example, 100 = M - (M - 100).

Even, Infinity = M - (M - Infinity).
(Please click on the image to enlarge it.)

SECTION 4: Two Domains

If you approach to Infinity from 0, 1, 2..., you cannot reach it.

Or, that you cannot reach Infinity while making a number larger is a definition of Infinity.

But, observed from Infinity, any number is not so different as zero, since there is an infinite gap between Infinity and any large number a man can imagine.

If you approach to the kingdom of God from a human way of living, you cannot reach it.

But, observed from "M," Infinity is not so different as zero, since there is an infinite gap between "M" and the number or the concept of Infinity.

But, if you believe the existence of "M," any number can be provided or generated by following the equation:
"n" = "M" - "(M - n)"

ex. 1 = M - (M - 1), 2 = M - (M - 2), etc.

Also, if you increase the value of a number, you cannot reach infinity in the direction from bottom up, just like any efforts based on human wisdom without faith cannot reach the kingdom of God.

Conversely, if you believe the existence of the kingdom of God (M), any human matter (n) can be provided following the equation "n = M - (M - n)."

Indeed, above the domain of the human numbers and Infinity, there is the domain of the largest number in the world "M" and its subset "M - n."

Truly, above the human world, there is the kingdom of God and its subset that can accommodate you.



(In a certain city in Italy, as televised in Japan, they have stopped collecting and picking up garbage and trash on the street due to some physical, administrative, and criminal or Mafia problems.

The garbage identified on a street with your eyes can be disposed anyhow, if you introduce reasonable discipline and effective systems.

But, the garbage of numbers accumulated in books or hard disks of computers may be hard to deal with.

The most advanced civilization might be the one with the least garbage of numbers or the most powerful concept of numbers, as with the most sophisticated love in terms of, say, a bank account.

In any way, folks, it is not easy to master languages and mathematics at the same time in the short period of one's life.)



"WARNINGS AGAINST IDLES"

(Ein warnendes Beispiel)




　　

ESTHER

(The Year of the Rat, 2008, according to the ancient Chinese tradition so adopted in Japanese Shinto shrines)



ESTHER

(Esther, la reine)



SECTION 1: MEGILLAT ESTHER

Queen Esther was trying hard to prevent the first possible annihilation of the tribe Israelites, not in the 20th century but in the 5th century B.C., by appealing to her Persian King Achashverosh against plots machinated by the dignitary Haman.

According to "MEGILLAT ESTHER; SHE'ASAH NISSIM LA'AVOTEINU by Yitzchak Etshalom":

A) THE SECOND PARTY (7:1-9)
This is the denoument of the story as far as we are concerned. Haman still doesn't know who Esther is - but he is clearly shattered and his ego is as fragile as ever. Achashverosh is equally disturbed and must be getting more confused by Esther's repeated parties without asking for what she really wants (it is clear that the king knows she wants something more - which is why he keeps asking her).

Now, she pulls out all the cards. The king thinks that she and Haman are hatching a plot against him (and have been having an affair?) - and suddenly Haman is revealed as the villian who is plotting against her. Haman thinks that he is still on the road to satisfaction in the matter of the Jews; he'll just need to wait until Adar. He has no idea that Esther is one of "them".

Esther points to Haman and all is lost. The confusion and anger of the king, the confusion and fear of Haman - create an emotional jumble which ultimately leads to the king's explosion when he finds Haman lying on Esther's divan, begging for mercy. Haman is erased and (here we go again) Mordechai takes his place (compare 8:2 with 3:10). The capricious king has (for the meantime) elevated the Jews and they are saved. We all know, however, that the happy ending of the story isn't permanent and that the rocky shores of existence in exile (which is probably one of the sub-messages of the Megillah) are not safe for Jews.
http://www.vbm-torah.org/purim/pur-es.htm


SECTION 2: King James Version of Esther, the Queen

Esther said to her King who has discretion over her life, "Let my life be given me at my petition."

Est 7:1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

Est 7:2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

Est 7:3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

Est 7:4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.

Est 7:5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?

Est 7:6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

Est 7:7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

Est 7:8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

Est 7:9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.

Est 7:10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.


The story of Esther is so dramatic, prominent, and moving, since a fate of a whole exiled tribe depends on a woman, one of them, who happens to be a queen to the king under whose rule the suppressed foreign tribe has been forced to live.

However, more importantly, the foreign tribe was Israelites and the king was one of ancient Persian kings.


SECTION 3: Israel and Iran

There are two special things common to Israelites and Iranians.

They are essentially races different from Arabs since their origin: Sumerians and Aryans.

They dealt with ancient Greeks in long history while Iranians failed to defeat Greeks by force and Israelites suffered intellectual superiority of the Greek Civilization, while today Iran is still a military factor and Israel has full of high-tech weapon systems.

It is time that Israel and Iran changed their view on history and the current situations so as to befriend each other for the peace of the Middle East, since Esther was the queen to Persian King.

Otherwise, they maybe lose their glory as the religious elite among mankind while a Religious Revolution may be coming, in the near term, in the U.S. or here and there.


SECTION 4: No More Development of Judaism Predicted

When Israelites returned to Palestine to build the second temple from captivity in Mesopotamia then ancient Iran newly occupied, they started to compile the so-called Old Testament under the reign of Persia between 538 B.C. and 333 B.C.

This development of (old) Judaism is, of course, to secure the "identity" of the tribe Israelites some of whom returned to Jerusalem but had to live on financial aid from others still living in Mesopotamia under the Persian rule.

Around 1st century A.D., When Israelites were also under the "identity" threat from the Roman Empire all over whose territory, however, many Israelites were making business to be rich, Jesus Christ appeared to save tradition of Israelites in a very mysterious way allowing for development of (new) Judaism, while saving all the mankind enabling development and deployment of the direct teaching of God which Europeans later, however, failed to expand beyond simply establishing a new religion called Christianity.

In the 20th century, when Israelite Europeans suffered an almost total annihilation plotted by German Nazis, they were saved by American Christians. After WWII, Israelites built the nation Israel and have continued to keep it with a help from American Christians and Judaists, since the current nation Israel gives tangible "identity" to Israelites living worldwide.

But, there seems no new development of Judaism in this era though the nation Israel has been rebuilt: No Newer Testament, No Newer Judaism, and No Messiah from Israelites.

That is why I am telling you that a 2000-Year Era is over just like a 4000-Year Era, when Israelites have been the true elite of religion so much as to be attacked by devils excessively, is over, for Israelites have shown no sign of further development of Judaism as such a holy elite among mankind.

Conversely, if Israelites today want another development of their religion, probably they have to give up the nation and the land of Israel (partly since no Germans came there to protect them or buy them the land and security as compensation, at which the God has not shown specific anger finally, while a German has become a Pope in the Vatican).

All of them have to immigrate to America, in that case, in my humble view.

Or, are there so many Esthers in the U.S. today, risking their lives for Israel?




(Indeed, it is a long story.

Yet, isn't it strange that we live in this era at the beginning of the 21st century, is it?

This is not 500 B.C., 50 A.D., or 1945.

It is as strange as you happen to view the EEE Report, taking whatever cue from an Angel or whomever the number of whom must be essentially very small, almost to the level that is regarded as the elite of some sort, for example, of religion.

Or can you see an Angel?)




"SHINING AS LIGHTS IN THE WORLD"

(Lichter in der Nacht)




　

Indeed Jesus Came with Words

Indeed Jesus Came with Words

(En effet, Jésus est venu avec des mots)


As the God created the world in seven days to the eye of Sumerians, the founders of the First Urban Civilization in Mesopotamia that allowed for inception of Greek Civilization eventually, they wrote so at the beginning of the Bible.

But, after the great and holy incident in Palestine that took place a few generations since the Era of Caesar and Cleopatra, followers of Jesus Christ modified the description on the Beginning for the first time in 2000 years since Abraham's departure of Mesopotamia (presently Iraq and Kuwait):

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

Joh 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

Joh 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Joh 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Now it is 2000 years since the editing of the Gospel. The most advanced Christians, namely Americans, are fighting in Iraq (Mesopotamia) in whatever context or cause of the material history and world.

Maybe we are at the beginning of a new era that will trigger a Religious Revolution in the U.S., since their soldiers are to leave Iraq, sooner or later, for their home land with some Muslims immigrating.

Maybe, in this age a few generations after WWII, a great leader might appear among those who come from Iraq (Mesopotamia) to the U.S. to contribute to a Religious Revolution in the U.S.

Truly all I can say to her is:
"I am your fan.
I like you to make your best."

Anyway, even the Japanese media are keeping eye on every step those candidates are making to the White House.)

SECTION 1: Nice Posting in "ECONOMY IN CRISIS"

I cannot help but feel like laughing when reading the following description (probably like a Japanese non-nonsense diplomat or economist does):

When we consider the stark contrast of our economy with that of Japan, it should make us aware that there is much room for improvement in our economic system. It should be a wake up call that unless we make major changes quickly, Japan’s economy may soon smother ours.

This may be hard to believe and come as a shock but just look at the comparative statistics and accomplishments of Japan versus America.

To put this in perspective, this is how America compares with a country as small as Japan:
- Land: Japan is a country with only 4% of our land mass (smaller than California) and is 90% mountainous and infertile.

- Resources: Japan has minimal natural resources - no oil, no coal, and no iron, just fish!

- Manufacturing: To manufacture a product, Japan must import all of its required resources. Even after this expense, they have an $88 billion per year balance of trade surplus with America alone (their exports versus imports with America) (2006, US Census Bureau) and also accumulate one-third of the world's savings (US News & World Report, March 19, 2001).

- Wages: Few Americans realize that Japanese hourly compensation costs in US dollars were nearly identical to that of US hourly compensation in 2005 according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

- Savings and Debt: The average Japanese family has a savings equivalent to $117,000 US Dollars (US News & World Report, March 19, 2001). American families average $85,000 in debt (USA Today, October 4, 2004).

- Income Through Trade: Japan had the world’s second highest current account surplus (net trade plus interest and other income) next to China in 2006 of $170 billion while the US current account deficit including goods, services, income, transfers was a staggering $857 billion loss, the world’s largest, according to the US Department of Commerce and the International Monetary Fund.

- Investment Income: Japan earned $118 billion on its foreign investments in 2006 and the US actually lost $7 billion according to the International Monetary Fund.

Japan must be doing something right! Better planning, direction, and a more responsive government are keys to their success. They have learned much from us and have improved on it. Perhaps it would be wise for us to study their improvements for our own benefit.

Ok, still Japanese Government should try hard to disseminate and diffuse correct information on Japan even into our allied country the United States of America.

The Publication Division of the Japan's Prime Minister's Office should also try hard.


SECTION 2: A Comment Posted by a Guest

There is one interesting comment to the above description or report posted on May, 2007.

guest says "Correction on world's largest current account surplus" on 05/27/07

"China had a current account surplus of $250 billion in 2006. So, Japan's current account surplus in 2006 was second to China's. Nevertheless, Japan supplies most of the capital equipment and sophisticated materials for China's advanced manufacturing industries."

As of October 2007, the ranking of countries in terms of foreign currency reserves is as follows:
Note that Japan has been extensively helping China, Taiwan, and Korea after WWII by providing financial, technical, and educational support.

Japan has heavily invested in China, Taiwan, and Korea to foster their industries, which is a big difference from the U.S. and European countries still living in the old paradigm of colonization the Roman Empire had devised 2000 years ago.


SECTION 3: From Monopolar World to Multipolar World

Anyway, some argue that the above fact indicates the end of the Era of American Unipolar Domination in the world.

In this context, voters and citizens in New Hampshire must choose their next President to be based on his or her ability to manage things peacefully in the new Era.


SECTION 4: Warning to Further Dollar Depreciation

One of the most popular Japanese blogs in the field of economy has recently claimed that Japanese Government should change its dollar-based asset to the yen-based asset to discharge its national debt.

(http://www.financial-j.net/blog/2007/12/000440.html#more )

Specifically, the blog writer posted an opinion to transfer 640 billion US dollars in Japan's exchange reserve to a budget account of 70 trillion yen, so that the Japanese Government can partially settle up its national debts.

I think it is reasonable to do so, though it will further lower the value of US dollars worldwide.

But, polarization itself is a policy the next US Administration to start in 2009 should take.

Indeed, it means the end of unipolar dominance of the US Dollar, which has created 30 million potentially starving citizens in the U.S.

Truly, Japan and the United Sates should start sincere negotiations on this issue, since all the experts in China, Taiwan, and Korea know how much they owe to Japan in these decades, just like Asians in general and Muslims know how much they owe to Japan since the Japanese-Russo War in 1904.


(How many families of US soldiers sent to Iraq and Afghanistan are waiting for letters from their sons, daughters, or spouses so anxiously, since about 900 soldiers died in 2007 in those war areas, resulting in total 3909 US casualties?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DoD_PERSONNEL_%26_PROCUREMENT_STATISTICS_-_Personnel_%26_Procurement_Reports_and_Data_Files_-_GLOBAL_WAR_ON_TERRORISM_-_OPERATION_IRAQI_FREEDOM_by_month_March_19%2C_2003_through_September_1%2C_2007_-_killed_in_action%2C_died_of_wounds%2C_accidents.jpg

But, is the number still simply compared with yearly deaths in traffic accidents in the U.S.?

The next US President to be should declare that 4000 deaths of soldiers are different from 4000 deaths on roads, streets, or bridges in the U.S., since patriotic families are waiting for a letter from a soldier so patiently.)

"Money Can't Buy Me Love!"

(L'argent ne peut pas m'acheter l'amour)


US Representative Ms. Barbara Lee wrote on January 3, 2008:
"...This Bush-Saudi arms deal is expected to eventually total $20 billion, but what will be the human cost? I intend to work closely with my colleagues in Congress to block these arms sales."

http://blog.thehill.com/

Indeed, this episode symbolizes the international situation where the U.S. is a real and the most decisive factor.

Truly, the U.S. leaders should have taken into consideration any risks, such as terror, in their engagement in the world with overflowing dollars, oil being depleted, extravagant arms sales, so competitive international trade and commerce, as well as territorial and religious conflicts in these decades.

However, is the next US president yet to be chosen ready enough to address it for American tax payers, consumers, voters, and poor citizens, in addition to global citizens?

The next US President to be should ponder over the following chart, if possible at all.
In my humble view, Christians (the US), Muslims (Saudi Arabia), and Judaists (Israel) are already in a covert alliance against those who threaten them and their dollars which have been being printed out in a US bank for payment to Japan in these decades.

But, the God or Allah is always on the side of poor and pious citizens, in my humble view.



(Once I saw one of former Japanese prime ministers saying to a female TV news caster that somebody must inevitably become unhappy in this society and thus conservatives should not befriend those who were helping such unhappy people for their own political cause and aims.

When I see the current global situations and the US Presidential Primary, such a deplorable Japanese politician, alive or dead, looks like a very honest man, good or bad.

How would you respond, honestly honey, if so demanded by someone in power not to befriend a poor American or some such, since you may not need diamond but something money cannot buy?)
