(Shinjyuku, Tokyo)ECONOMIC CRUSADE OR CYBER CRUSADE
It is time for the Japanese Government to issue government notes but not government bonds.
The Ministry of Finance must create and prepare a 100 trillion yen ($one trillion) bill and deposit it into its account in the Bank of Japan.
Then the Ministry should withdraw BOJ notes worth 100 trillion yen ($one trillion) from the account to use them for its budget compilation.
Inflation will not occur in the domestic market; the value of yen will not fall in the exchange market; and the mind of consumers will be brightened to behave in a forward-looking manner.
Juts a sheet of paper with the number, a 100 trillion yen, and a signature of the Minister of Finance would solve the decades-long financial problem of Japan.
SECTION I: PEOPLE
Mr. Susumu Nishibe was talking with Mr. Makoto Staka on a cable TV channel I viewed on the weekend.
As they are very popular critics and authors in Japan, I listened to them while.
Ex-professor of University of Tokyo Mr. Nishibe was praising Ernesto "Che" Guevara.
He also rebuked the Cuban regime before Mr. Fidel Castro's.
Then, on Sunday night, I saw Mr. Lawrence Summers presenting his own forecast of the American economy.
Then this Monday morning of Japan, I found that Paul Anthony Samuelson, a Mr. Lawrence Summers' uncle, just died, though the first American Nobel Prize winner in economics was born in 1915.
And, I checked an article Mr. Paul Krugman wrote on The New York Times to find something reasonable, since he meant that transactions tax could thwart ultra-short-term run financing.
The possibility to earn a huge return using ultra-short-term run financing must turn an ordinary citizen into a greedy Wall Street guy.
There is of course something that turns a hero in revolution or economics into a half-rotten rich man in any era or any country.
SECTION II: CRUSADE
Believe or not, 1000 years after the great war between the Roman Empire and Israelites, Jerusalem was again turned into a bloody stage of war.
Believe or not, close to 1000 years after the first crusade, the truly only successful crusade among several, Jerusalem has been again turned into a bloody stage of war.
----------
The First Crusade was a military expedition by European Christians to regain the Holy Lands taken by the Muslim conquest of the Levant, which resulted in the capture of Jerusalem in 1099. It was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II with the primary goal of responding to the appeal from Byzantine Emperor Alexius I...
Given that the First Crusade was largely concerned with Jerusalem, a city which had not been under Christian dominion for 461 years, as well as the crusader army's refusal to return the land to Byzantine control, the status of the First Crusade as defensive or as aggressive in nature remains controversial, both within academias and without.
Although these gains lasted for less than two hundred years, the First Crusade was part of the Christian response to the Islamic conquests, as well as the first major step towards reopening international trade in the West since the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

----------
This first crusade heralded the coming of the new millennium for Europe, passing through the intermediate era after the fall of Rome.
However, the Pope did not move his church or the Vatican to Jerusalem on this occasion, which set the course, the fate, and meaning of existence of Europe for coming 1000 years.
Believe or not, the Age of the Crusade ended when Israel survived the 20th century to the 21st with help from the U.S. in my historical view.
Believe or not, we are in the middle of the most decisive situation in these 1000 or 2000 years.

So, if you access a Japanese domain ".jp" in the Internet, you are almost as safe as you access a Web site of your government.
The Cameroon domain ".cm"; the China domain ".cn"; and the Samoa domain ".ws" are the most dangerous domain names in 2009.
However, you may find nice people in Cameroon, China, and Samoa like you do in Japan.
It is so, since Japan is the only major country in the world to be honored over the Internet cyber space in 2009, too.
Joh 12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Joh 12:13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Joh 12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
Joh 12:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
