How Material Civilization Will Fall like RomeAfter having checked a late-night TV news program last night, I referred to some Internet sites of Japanese politicians to find that there was not much mention of Hiroshima.
SECTION I: The Anniversary of the Atomic Bombing of HiroshimaThings seem to be very simple in one’s life and the whole world sometimes.
The future of the U.S. might be forecast from their way of war against the Empire of Japan more than 60 years ago.
Indeed, today, namely on August 6, 63 years ago, or in 1945, Hiroshima was attacked by a nuclear bomb dropped from a US B29 bomber.
The attack was intended to kill Japanese civilians as many as possible, though Hiroshima was then one of major military cities of the Empire of Japan.
Until today, the number of victims of the nuclear bomb attack at Hiroshima has reached about 260,000, including those immediately killed on Aug. 6, 1945 and those gradually killed by residual radioactivity over 63 years.
This act is tantamount to the 9/11 Terror on Washington D.C. and New York in that they intended to kill not only soldiers and officers but also civilians as many as possible.
Both the Hiroshima attack and the 9/11 Terror are clearly against the international law that respects humanity.
For the U.S. not to be attacked by terrorists using a nuclear bomb, it seems to be essential for American people to be more friendly and cooperative with Japan to achieve global peace.
It looks so even from a view point of causality.
SECTION II: Nuclear Tests in Hsinchiang Uighur Autonomous RegionThings seem to be very simple in one’s life and the whole world sometimes.
If God is displeased with China’s nuclear weapon development, He would not stop a great earthquake happening in China and anti-Beijing movements by Uighurs.
China has been conducting nuclear weapon tests in Hsinchiang Uighur Autonomous Region.
It is said that China carried out a nuclear bomb test 46 times between 1964 and 1996 in the region actually causing death to 200,000 people most of whom were Uighurs.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Uighur people, who live in the region, are demonstrating constantly against the tests. But protesting is very difficult in China, as demonstrations are quickly suppressed by the Chinese army. Many demonstrators have been arrested and hurt. A speaker of the Chinese defense ministry calls the demonstrators "barbarians" who want to destroy Chinese military facilities. The biggest demonstration took place on 8 May, 1992, when about 10,000 people were demonstrating in Kashgar. In March 1993, 1,000 Uigur tried to occupy the test site; the Chinese Peoples Army fired shots. There was much damage on the site. After the May test this year, some 300 Uighur marched to the test site to protest against the test. Unfortunately, the Uighurs protests do not get much attention in the rest of the world.
According to a speaker of the Uighur people, about 200,000 people have been killed due to the tests. He says that the leukemia rate in Xinjian is 7-8 times that in the rest of China. According to him, the life expectancy in the region now compared with that of the 1970s has decreased by two years. http://www10.antenna.nl/wise/index.html?http://www10.antenna.nl/wise/438/4335.html ------------------------------------------
You may also gain a deep insight into the Great Sichuan Earthquake that occurred in Southern China a few months ago, since there is a nuclear weapon development center in the Sichuan Province.
------------------------------------------
Testing takes place at the Lop Nor site, approximately 265 kilometers south-east of Urumqi in the Xinjian region (due west of Beijing, due north of Kathmandu). The Xinjian region is home to the Uighur people, and China has never allowed any form of independent or outside assessment of the environmental or health impacts of its nuclear testing program. Since testing began in 1964, China has conducted one test on average every 284 days.
China's current testing program is thought to involve warheads for two new missile systems, one for deployment in the late 1990s, and one around 2010. The latter may carry several warheads. China is also developing a new sea-launched ballistic missile (JL-2) for deployment on its second generation strategic nuclear-powered submarine. In May 1995, China tested a new ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers.
The chief design laboratory for Chinese nuclear weapons is the Ninth Academy at Mianyang (Sichuan) or the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP). Plutonium production for weapons purposes, which has taken place at two reactors, in Jiuquan (Gansu) and Guangyuan (Sichuan), reportedly ceased in 1991. However a new plutonium facility is scheduled to open in the mid-1990s. http://archive.greenpeace.org/comms/nukes/ctbt/read11.html------------------------------------------
China should stop the development and possession of nuclear weapons and abandon the suppression of the Uighur people, immediately or while the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are being carried out.
SECTION III: NOT CO2 BUT COGThings seem to be very simple in one’s life and the whole world sometimes.
They find it easy to brainwash people with a notion that CO2 must be focused on as the major factor of the global temperature rise. And, they are telling you what to do to decrease the amount of CO2 emission in your home and office.
But, they never explain what the sources of CO2 are.
The sources of CO2 are coal, oil, and natural gas (COG).
The troublesome CO2 is almost all generated only from human activities burning coal, oil, or natural gas.
So then, the scientifically and economically correct attitude is to focus on coal, oil, and natural gas even when aiming at reduction of emission of CO2.
At home and in the office, people do not burn coal, oil, and natural gas at all or at least in a large amount.
It is electric power plants that are burning coal, oil, and natural gas in order to generate electricity homes and offices are consuming.
So then, the scientifically and economically correct attitude is to focus on electric power plants.
If you close all the electric power plants in the world that are burning COG, the CO2 emission will decrease roughly by 70% in my feeling.
In addition, if all the vehicles using gasoline or other COG-based fuels are forbidden or abolished, the CO2 emission caused by human activities will decrease roughly by another 20% in my feeling.
To save the world by stopping the global warming, you do not have to mind invisible CO2 but coal, oil, and natural gas.
Juts stop using coal, oil, and natural gas in electric power plants and cars, and then the level of CO2 in the air will soon drop drastically, probably by 90%.
Ideally, mankind should live without using coal, oil, and natural gas, which means that mankind should live without electricity and cars.
If you use electricity of any origin, the electric energy will be transformed to heat in the air ultimately, raising the temperature.
If you use cars driven by any energy, the kinetic energy will be transformed to heat in the air ultimately, raising the temperature.
Now, you know how simple it is with a focus on COG but how complicated things will become with a focus on CO2.
Super rich men in Europe want to continue the use of electricity, cars, coal, oil, and natural gas, so that they like to turn the eyes of peoples to invisible CO2 while obscuring the sources of CO2.
Of course I can understand your need for electricity and cars if you are not super rich. But, first of all, you have to take a right path to solution: COG not CO2.
Anyway, remember it is simple to save the world: Do Not Use Coal, Oil, and Natural Gas as an Energy Source in Power Plants and Cars.
SECTION IV: Dream WeaponsThings seem to be very simple in one’s life and the whole world sometimes.
If one of the poorest country in the world, say like Haiti, has a genius who can invent a more powerful weapon than a nuclear bomb, the country will produce the super weapon to request money as much as they want from the U.S.
A similar incident once happened in history.
The Roman Empire had the strongest infantry troops around the Mediterranean and Europe then. But, they were not good at forming strong troops of horse, since it is a matter of natural environment and human traditions in it.
Inevitably, when the Roman Empire’s Army encountered horse soldiers coming from the east, the history changed.
The then richest empire on the earth found that their well-trained and experienced foot soldiers could not beat back and their slow cavalry could not match fast troopers of the Huns, a half broken tribe being severely driven westward by other horseback races in Asia.
It is not an easy task to quickly prepare tens of thousands of horse soldiers equipped with effective weapons and guided by suitable strategies, no matter if they look like a mass of ragged tramps on horses.
As a matter of fact of history, the Huns destroyed the pride of the Roman Empire in terms of military superiority:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The origin of the Huns has been the subject of debate for centuries; however it can be said with general agreement that they may have been a confederation of Central Asian and European tribes, many of them horse nomads. Many experts think they may have been Turkic people, descended from the Xiongnu tribes that menaced China as early as the 5th century BC. The first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi, built part of the Great Wall to keep the Xiongnu out.
Their united power appeared or began to form in Europe in the 400s. They achieved military superiority over their neighbours by their readiness for battle, unusual mobility, and weapons, including the composite bow…
Attila returned in 452 to claim his marriage to Honoria anew, invading and ravaging Italy along the way… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attila_the_Hun -----------------------------------------------------------------------
However, the Eastern Roman Empire survived for more 1,000 years.
It is because the Eastern Roman Empire had adopted cavalry earlier and more fully than the Western Roman Empire, since the former is closer to Central Asia covered by prairies and half deserts.
In addition, Christianity might be another key. Constantinople must be more Christian than Rome. The capital of the Eastern Roman Empire must have had more pious citizens than Rome had.
Conversely, excellent cavalry and Christianity must become dream weapons for the Eastern Roman Empire to survive until the 15th century (when Columbus started to sail to Japan only to reach America).
So, if one of the poorest country in the world, say like Cuba, wants to surpass the U.S. in the national power, it needs not only super physical weapons but also super spiritual weapons.
****************************************************************************After having checked a late-night TV news program last night, I referred to some Internet sites concerning US politics to find that they were talking about a need to develop new energy sources.
Yet, nuclear weapons, big houses, the dollar, and Christianity are the four major elements that have made the U.S. the sole superpower with its material civilization based on coal, oil, natural gas, electricity, and cars.
Today, even North Korea has nuclear bombs; the subprime loan crisis has made American big houses look cursed; the position of the dollar is now sustained by financial institutes outside the U.S.; and no one looks like following the Decalogue or the Ten Commandments in the U.S.
It is time for Americans and non-Americans to start to fear God, since neither nuclear weapons, big houses, the dollar, nor Christianity is effective to resist God with.

Rev 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Rev 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Rev 8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
Rev 8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Rev 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
Rev 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Rev 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
