The Biggest News in 2008

(Mt. Fuji and the Tokyo Tower of Yesterday)


The Biggest News in 2008


They reported that Mr. Kim Jong-Il, the top leader of North Korea is still ill in bed, losing the commanding power of the nation.

It was also reported that a female North Korean spy arrested in South Korea a few months ago tried to commit suicide in a prison yesterday or so, though her life has been saved.

It is said that North Korea of today somehow resembles the Empire of Japan during and before the Second World War.

In those days, the paradigm of samurai ethics still prevailed in Japan, especially within the Imperial Government and its Army and Navy.

One of gravely distorted features of the paradigm, as so degraded in decades before WWII, is that as samurai-spirited officers and officials are always prepared to die for the nation in a war or any emergency, the society must forgive their minor errors and transgressions.

However, if a samurai gets used to enjoying drinking, eating, and entertainment or a family life, he will surely lose in a battle and run away from the front for his life.

Mr. Kim Jong-Il seems to have enjoyed drinking, eating, and entertainment or a family life too much to command the nation on the quasi-war basis.

Yet, the biggest news in 2008 for Japan is that Ms. Megumi Yokota has not returned to her parents living around Tokyo, though she was forcibly and unlawfully abducted by North Korean spies decades ago, when she was a junior high school student, from a local town of the Japan's mainland facing the Sea of Japan.


(It is cold around Tokyo today. Nonetheless, the New Year holidays in Japan are going to start. As for me, nothing changes. Probably, I will watch NHK satellite TV programs or other cable TV channel programs more often than usual.

So, nothing changes around Tokyo.)



Luk 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Luk 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

Luk 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

Luk 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Did a miracle happen around you on the Christmas Eve or December 25th?

It happened to me.

So, I hope all the more that those who are poorer than I would receive more blessing than I.

Now, what do you hope?


SECTION I: Japanese Obamas

There were two brothers who both assumed the Japanese premiership. The elder one, Nobuske Kishi, was Prime Minister of Japan between 1957 and 1960. (Former Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe is a grandson of Nobuske Kishi.) The younger brother, Eisaku Sato, kept the prime mister post between 1964 and 1972; he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1974.

However, in the future we may have other two brothers the both of whom may take the position of the Japan’s Prime Minister.

KUNIO HATOYAMA (The Liberal Democratic Party)
Mr. Kunio Hatoyama became Minister of Justice of the Fukuda Cabinet in 2007. He was also chosen as Minister of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications of the current Aso Cabinet three months ago.

He graduated top of the class from the faculty of law, the University of Tokyo, to be a secretary of the notorious politician Kakuei Tanaka, the then Prime Minister of Japan.

Mr. Kunio Hatoyama is regarded as the strongest supporter for current Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso, though they belong to different factions within the LDP.

Interestingly, Mr. Kunio Hatoyama once challenged Mr. Shintaro Ishihara in the Tokyo Metropolitan Gubernatorial Election in vain.

http://www.hatoyamakunio.org/


YUKIO HATOYAMA (The Democratic Party of Japan)
Mr. Yukio Hatoyama is one year older than his brother Mr. Kunio Hatoyama.

Their grandfather was one of Japanese Prime Ministers during unquiet times after WWII; and their father was an elite bureaucrat and politician, too.

Mr. Yukio Hatoyama is the actual founder of the Democratic Party of Japan, since he seems to have advantaged financial resources.

If the DPJ comes to power after the next general election, Mr. Yukio Hatoyama will take the second influential post in the possible Ozawa Cabinet, since he is now No.2 in the DPJ next to Mr. Ichiro Ozawa.

As Mr. Yukio Hatoyama once specialized in engineering in universities, he might become a unique type of prime ministers of Japan, if he should be able to get enough support among his colleagues and voters.

SECTION II: This Week’s Business Model

In the United States, an unprecedented economic recession has hit not only the financial sector and the automobile sector but also the media industry, including TV interests.

In Japan, the TV stations also face a financial slump, though publicly-funded NHK might have no such a sense of the crisis, since its announcers always deliver news in a bright voice as probably instructed technically.

When a government gives a broadcast license to a company or an organization, it must stipulate that a few hours a day of its broadcasting time must be assigned to other company or organization.

The 100% exclusive use of a specific radio frequency must be avoided.

Therefore, any TV station licensed for using a certain radio frequency should transfer, at least for a few hours of the day, to other party who would be allowed to use the identical frequency for their own service. Even public broadcasting companies, such as Japan’s NHK, should observe the rule.

This system would pave the way for more market-oriented competition in the media industry. What's more, it must also give a chance to a party trying to address pioneering challenges in the media market. Politically, the system might also contribute to enhancement of quality of democracy.

Even an NGO or a foreign company may be allowed to join this scheme. In that case, ABC, CNN, or BBC might be allowed to use the partially assigned time-slot to broadcast their own program in Japan, though just an hour or so, on an ordinary local TV channel of ground-based broadcasting. Audiences will of course view them for free, as many sponsors and their commercials will cover the costs.

*********************************************

Let me say one thing: Toyota’s yearly net profit after tax was more than one trillion yen ($11 billion) in each of past five years, assumedly resulting in $55 billion assets in total.

(http://moneyzine.jp/article/detail/69482/)

(http://www.gamenews.ne.jp/archives/2007/05/2223868300.html )

Now it is going to suffer a 150-billion-yen ($1.6 billion) operating loss as Toyota Group, as of March 2009.

How should Toyota fire in haste so many workers in their plants, if those working in an irregular employment system belong to outside employment agencies or temporary agencies?

Toyota needs ability to launch a new business model. The auto company can venture into, for example, agriculture, forestry, fishery, or new energy development in addition to health care.

Toyota should contact any persons of good idea, including EEE Reporter.


(I heard voices, of a man and a bewitching woman, saying that it was going to take time more; but there is no time like the present. Indeed, better now than later, when hitting upon the idea of any good thing. So, I made a rare phone call somewhere. I may even send an e-mail, though it is business-related, since December in Japanese, "Shiwasu," means that even a master runs to make end meet before a new year comes.)



Mar 12:26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

Mar 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

The Two Gifts to Americans

The Two Gifts to Americans


Americans, historically, have received two gifts: the spirit of the Bible and the spirit of frontiers.

Based on these gifts, they could gain independence from the U.K. and Europe.

Based on these gifts, they could advance to the West, the Pacific Region, and further the Asian Continent.

Specifically, the Bible allowed for the Emancipation Proclamation and the establishment of the Obama Administration.

Specifically, the frontiers allowed for their engagement in Asia, even harboring the illusion of China.

And remarkably, America is now following the path of Alexander the Great, namely being on campaign in a region from Baghdad to Kabul.

The fall of the Roman Empire may be followed by the U.S. in the future; but, the fate of the Empire of Alexander the Great might be also followed by the U.S. in the near future.

If Americans do not make the best use of the spirit of both the Bible and the frontiers, they might be deprived of the glory realized by the spirit.

In that case, America will really fall like the Roman Empire and be doomed like the Empire of Alexander the Great in future, in my humble speculation.



(The Japanese National Diet will be prorogued until January 5, 2009. Japanese national lawmakers would, however, face strong requests from voters and tax payers for recovery of economy and enhancement of safety of the society. But, if I can take 10-day New Year holidays, I may visit Indonesia, Hawaii, and the Lincoln Memorial provided the God so wishes.)

Testimony on December 24, 2008

Testimony on December 24, 2008


Let me offer a scenario to apply to a prospective Q&A session with a future Judaistic Pope at the new Vatican in Jerusalem.

Q: Why and how did you accept the position of the Pope at the solicitation of the Vatican, though you are a Judaist?

A: It was simple. As they hesitated, I myself requested the position for the sake of mankind, although they still stick to their version of our communications as you put.

Q: Does your family tree go back to a certain Israelite of 2000 years ago? Can you name and attest all your ancestors up to the one in the era of Jesus Christ, like the Chapter 1 of Matthew?

A: Yes, I can.

Q: What about your view on St. Paul?

A: He is a Protestant. He does not need those other witnesses on Jesus, as a son of a man, since St. Paul has his own witness about the deity of Jesus. He himself is a church based on his own experiences with Jesus. In this context, from the beginning, Christianity included two parties: one for those who rely on the Gospels (St. Peter-Mark, St. Peter-Luke, St. Peter-Matthew, and St. Peter-John) and another for those who rely on their own gospel like St. Paul. The former is the Vatican and the latter is Protestantism. However, when they first established a church in ancient Rome, they had to cooperate as one.

Q: Is it absolutely necessary to be a Judaist, if not genuinely, to see God in Jesus?

A: Yes, it is. To see the God of Israel in Jesus, you have to be a Judaist, a descendant of ancient Israelites. And, the Old Testament claims that the God of Israel is God of Mankind. Therefore, as long as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam exist and until other superior religion should emerge with an absolute proof that God of Mankind has become the God of other tribe, in order to see God in Jesus you have to be a Judaist.

Q: Can the finding be expressed with words of any language mankind has today?

A: Yes. Mankind has a million ways of description and expression with a million adjectives and adverbs. You cannot tell what will happen to mankind, especially in terms of religion in a 4000-year period of time. Somebody will surely present his miracle report of finding God in a certain man someday so as to convince billions of people of his holy finding to launch a new authentic religion.

(By the way, as Mr. Masukawa, one of the three Japanese-national Nobel-Prize winning scientists of this year, proved decades ago, there are six types of quarks in this universe, but neither three nor four. Accordingly, more than one hundred types of atoms exist here and there to build a human body.)

Q: So, at least you have convinced all the leaders and executives of the Vatican of your ability and blessing in seeing God, right?

A: Yes.

Q: What did God of Mankind say to you, specifically?

A: He said I had to be a Pope at the Vatican moved to Jerusalem.

Q: So, you went to Rome and proved your holy ability and blessing to the leaders and executives of the Vatican to take up the holy seat of the Pope?

A: Yes.

Q: Is Jerusalem better than Rome?

A: Yes, since we have more Judaists here.

Q: Will you bless me on behalf of God of Mankind?

A: Read the Bible Jesus as a son of a man also read, for I do it preaching everywhere on the land of Palestine as a homeless missionary, since Jesus had no place to rest.

A: Thank you sir. Thank you. God bless you!

**************************************************

Anyway, now it is around the noon of December 24, 2008, here around Tokyo.

So, that is all for today.



(Music does not necessarily improve humanity of mankind.

However, they reported that Ever Holy Jesus sang a hymn with His Disciples. Indeed, Vatican means "VATES CINARI" (a prophet sings).

Anyway, "Merry Christmas, Jesus, Sir, since you are with Notre Dame!"

Luk 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

Luk 12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

Luk 12:26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

DO NOT JUDGE A MAN

(In the vicinity of a Grand Shrine which once faced the Tokyo Bay deeply getting inland 2000 years ago as seagulls even today vist it sometimes)



DO NOT JUDGE A MAN


No foreigners or strangers can feel a divine atmosphere in a precinct of any shintoism shrine in Japan.

Even no Chinese and no Koreans can share the sense of purity of his or her soul that Japanese people feel when entering a Shinto shrine.

Only Japanese know this sense. But it is not easy to have foreigners understand it through words and letters based on any skills or logic of language.

The main stream of the Japanese races consists of those who can feel this catharsis and purification of their own souls when entering a shinto shrine or a holy mountain.

Only those Japanese must be truly called "Nihon-Jin" or more specifically "Yamato-Minzoku" (the bona-fide Japanese tribe), though we have to admit other types of Japanese races for political correctness.

And, good or bad on words and deeds of bona-fide Japanese cannot be judged without knowing this unique spiritual structure.

Therefore we should not judge any Japanese, at least, on any written or even verbal witness.

Jesus Christ simply ordered not to judge anybody.


SECTION I: They are still arguing deity of Jesus

It is really nice to see that some Americans are still arguing the deity of Jesus Christ in earnest.

----------------------------------
…The only real argument that remains, is that Jesus was just a legend or myth. There is little likelihood that Jesus' claims are legend. There just wasn't enough time for any legendary development of the story to replace what really happened. For instance, we now know that the Gospels were written 30 to 50 years after the crucifixion of Jesus. More dramatically, we now date some of the early Christian creeds, proclaiming the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, to 3 to 10 years after His crucifixion. This includes Paul's letters to the Corinthians, Romans and Galatians. Finally, if Jesus' claim of deity was a myth, the early Jewish opponents of Christianity would surely have presented the fact that these claims never happened. Unlike modern skeptics, the Jewish rabbis never denied that Jesus made the claim that He was God. Instead, they called Him a liar, and tried Him for blasphemy.

Is Jesus God? The Only Answer
Is Jesus God? Once you have asked all your questions, weighed all the evidence, and tested all the arguments, you will ultimately be confronted with this question. In Mathew 16:15, Jesus put it this way, 'But who do you say that I am?' One of His disciples, Simon Peter, replied: 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' What is your reply?
http://www.allaboutjesuschrist.org/is-jesus-god-c.htm
----------------------------------

But, I will repeat here that you cannot prove if Jesus Christ is God or not based on the Gospels, since those holy books were intended not to be used as a proof of Jesus’ Deity, probably, very carefully.

The Bible was written, edited, and compiled so as not be used as a witness to Jesus being the God, though people say that Daniel prophesied Jesus would come to save Israel.

It is St. Peter who found his God or the God of Israel in Jesus.

The witness is the awe St. Peter was struck with.


SECTION II: How Witness was Relayed

Please check my drawing below, though it is still a draft version.

(Click to enlarge.)

In the above scheme, there are four persons who directly heard the witness from St. Peter. One of the four is Mark.

However, there must be some variations in St. Peter’s talk to these four of the first-level witnesses, which led to differences between the Book of St. Peter-Mark, the Book of St. Peter-Luke, the Book of St. Peter Matthew, and even the Book of St. Peter-John.


SECTION III: Why Pope Must be a Judaist

If you are not an Israelite, you cannot find the God in Jesus Christ, whether you live 2000 years ago or today.

If you are ancient Greeks or ancient Romans educated by ancient Greeks, you must feel frustrated not to be able to find God or any proof of Jesus’ deity in written witness on Jesus, say, even by St. Paul.

The proof is in the awe generated in St. Peter’s mind which could not be translated into words and letters in a manner that ancient Romans and Greeks could comprehend, since the awe was very Judaistic.

Therefore, you cannot get many believers by simply claiming that Jesus is God in the Gospels. Rather, ancient Romans and Greeks would have doubted sincerity of ancient Christians relying on poor logic and story-telling in proving the deity of Jesus.

In that case, wise Early Christians would abandon efforts to create a Gospel that could prove the deity of Jesus Christ so controversially or in vain.

Instead, they would claim that the deity of Jesus is only proved by direct inheritance of the secret through a face-to-face disclosure which started from St. Peter.

Therefore, the Vatican even today claims that Protestants cannot find God in Jesus if they only rely on the Gospels. In order to find God in Jesus, they must come to a Catholic church where a clergyman would give some portion of the proof of Jesus’ Diety through religious ceremony as instructed by the Vatican, the only successor of St. Peter and his witness on the deity of Jesus.

Yet, though the Vatican has this secret knowledge, it has no ability to find God in Jesus by itself, since it is no more Judaistic, while St. Peter’s awe in finding God in Jesus was only possible due to his being a Judaist, namely an Israelite 2000 years ago.

So, the Vatican and Popes in these centuries have been only masters of formality and knowledge but not honest performers of St. Peter’s awe.

In summary, for the Vatican to get the ability to feel the same holy awe as St. Peter did, it must have a Judaistic Pope.

And, a Judaistic Pope must live in Jerusalem, since other Judaists have already returned to Israel since 1948.

**************************************************

But, where have other Gospels based on witnesses of eleven Disciples except St. Peter gone?

There must have been situations where our Ever-Holy Jesus and, say, James alone were talking without St. Peter anywhere around to listen to their conversations.

Jesus might have said, "Look at the sky. Without it, there is no ground, since the Spirit, from the sky, gives existence to the ground on which we stand."

But, this precious teaching has not survived the history but vanished away, since James’ Gospel was searched and destroyed by evil forces in the first century.



(That is all for today, since a stupid Japanese comedian called “Morita” is now on a TV screen. Decades ago when he put on ordinary glasses but not sunglasses, he made his first or second TV appearance, as I happened to see it around Tokyo, to present poor performance of imitating mah-jong players speaking four different pseudo-languages. Nowadays, I seldom see his regular TV performance around the noon.

Anyway, strangers do not know glory of any legends temporarily hidden in the faintly glittering mist of night.

http://www.menziesera.com/midi/stranger.mid )



Joh 12:23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

Joh 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Joh 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

Joh 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

Choose a Judaist as a Pope

Choose a Judaist as a Pope


In Japan, they say that medical doctors do not like to work like a hero.

They are leaving difficult, public hospitals to get a bigger income in less responsible, private medical clinics.

As both the conservative NHK and Fuji TV stations presented feature programs on this issue, the situation must be truly grave.

Choose honest and clever nurses as a new type of medical doctors. Make them a kind of assistant medical doctors by giving some training to educate them further and certify them.


SECTION I: A Pope Must be a Judaist

Our Ever Holy Lord Jesus Christ was an Israelite.

The only source for the Four Books of the Gospels, namely St. Peter, was an Israelite.

Therefore, popes we should accept must be only honest descendants of ancient Israelites, namely Judaists.

Therefore, if a Pope is not a Judaist, we cannot admit his authority.

This must be the first step for the Reformation of the Vatican.

In order to facilitate this holy Reform, the Vatican should go back to Jerusalem.

It is so, because the most significant implication of the establishment of the nation Israel in 1948 is that it is preparation for the return of the Vatican and a Pope to Jerusalem.

It is already enough that followers of Ever-Holy Jesus Christ and St. Peter show respect to the Two in Rome. They must do so now in Jerusalem, on a permanent base.


So, the new Pope will confess that he can see what his Holy Lord Jesus is, especially because he, namely the new Pope, is a Judaist like St. Peter was an Israelite, marvelling: "How can the God of Israel, namely my God, incarnate in the form of a human being, that is Jesus!"

The new Pope must be a follower of Ever-Holy Jesus Christ as a descendant of Abraham just like St. Peter was 2000 years ago.


SECTION II: Wealth the Vatican Commands

The Vatican has deeper wisdom than those new comers to history, such as Rothschilds and Rockefellers in terms of creating, operating, accumulating, and hiding wealth.

You cannot simply measure it based on figures on books, ledgers, and financial notes.
------------------------------------------------
19 April 2002
Worldly assets

• The Vatican Bank, Istituto per le Opere di Religione, manages £2bn of assets. It does not reveal its profits or dividends, which are paid directly to the Pope. It enjoys the status of a central bank and has a dealing room adorned with crucifixes and papal portraits where 20 traders work.
• Despite the Vatican's assets, including the art collection in the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel, it relies heavily on support from American dioceses.

• The Pope owns more than 1,000 apartments in Rome. The Vatican's property portfolio made a profit of 25.7bn lira in 1998, equivalent to about £10m at the time.

• The Vatican had a balance of 2.5bn lira in 1998, then worth about £1m. It had expenses of about 336bn lira (£106m) and income of about 338bn lira (£107m).
• The 2,500 officials of the Papal curia have a combined salary bill of 140bn lira (£44m).
• The 20,000 parishes in America had revenues of $7.5bn (£5.18bn) )in 2000, of which $6.5bn went to cover expenses and $1bn subsidised Catholic schools.
• In the 1980s the Vatican Bank was forced to pay $241m for its part in the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano. Roberto Calvi, who had been advising the Vatican over its dealings with the bank, was found hanging from a rope beneath Blackfriars Bridge.
• Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles, the man tipped to be the first American Pope, has been building a new cathedral for the past four years. The cost is now estimated at almost $200m.

http://www.vaticanbankclaims.com/worldly.htm
------------------------------------------------------------

In general, priests and clergymen do not mind befriending gangsters and Mafia members so long as they do not harass their churches or intimidate church members.

(Bad examples can be even found in Japanese churches.)

But, if priests and clergymen do not like to turn them to ordinary and harmless citizens due to issues involving big money, they are not followers of poor St. Peter at all.

So, salary of a priest or a clergyman must be zero.

Salary of a Pope must be zero.

Of course, there must be no house allowance.

It must be forbidden to enjoy a richer life than poor Israelite St. Peter had.

************************************************

What I want to emphasize is that the so-called Q Document (a postulated lost textual source for the four Gospels of the Bible) must be St. Peter himself.



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

The four Gospels are actually four variations of St. Peter’s witness about words and deeds of his Holy Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, as the sole authority of the Gospels, the Vatican must be stationed in Jerusalem if not Galilee.

And, choose a Judaist as a new Pope, since only a Judaist can be a successor of St. Peter.

In the case, such a new Judaist Pope of the Vatican in this 21st century must be actually the "second bona-fide Pope in history, next to St. Peter."

That is all for today.
