Minute by Minute, Over and Over Again
Finally, I think, a man is walking step by step to a payback period.
Yet, each step must be a work of the God rather than ours.
SECTION I: What is Japan Post Group?
Japan Post Group, as a financial institute, has the largest assets among the top global banks. This Japanese banking company, now controlled by the Japanese Government, has $3.67 trillion assets.
(Click to enlarge.)It has been a focal point of political games in Japan since Mr. Junichiro Koizumi was elected as prime minister in 2001, calling drastic reformation including the postal system.
Until the 30-8-2009 general election held last summer, the Japanese Government run by the Liberal Democratic Party had pushed forward privatization of this originally state-run post-saving bank, though before huge money deposited there by the diligent Japanese people was fully operated in the money market, including Wall Street, the Lehman Shock occurred in September 2008.
Now, as the stocks of the Japan Post Group are 100% owned by the Government, it is busy faithfully buying bonds the Government has issued.
Yet, it looks still too early to sell 100% of the stocks of Japan Post Bank Co., Ltd. in the stock market.
Nonetheless, it might be not so wise for the Government to 100% insulate its stocks, expected to have an aggregate market price worth several hundreds billion dollars, from the market.
Now you know partly why the LDP lost the general election in August 2009, one year after the Wall Street collapse in 2008, since then Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso drove out Minister Mr. Kunio Hatoyama, a younger brother of incumbent Prime Minister Mr. Yukio Hatoyama but an LDP member (till a few days ago), from the Cabinet in June 2009, as Mr. Kunio Hatoyama was against all-out privatization of Japan Post, attacking then President of Japan Post Mr. Nishikawa in the Diet hearings so persistently.
It is anti-Koizumi veteran Minister Mr. Shizuka Kamei of the Kokumin-Shinto Party that is now in charge of the postal service system and Japan Post Group, though the Democratic Party of Japan led by P.M. Mr. Yukio Hatoyama once had a policy for promotion of reformation.
Finally, it is not so easy for Wall Street guys to exploit $3.67 trillion savings the Japanese people have entrusted to every local post office in Japan over 140 years.
SECTION II: Expatriate Americans and Mexicans
Today almost 7 million Americans are estimated to be living outside the United States.
---------
According to the U.S. Department of State, there was a substantial rise in the number of American-born expatriates since 1990, from about 1.5 million to 4.5 million in 2005, to eventually grow to about 6 to 8 million by 2009. Most of the expatriates are retired and live on social security benefits, others are employed in international business, and those with strong unfavorable political views on American government.

---------
Today, about 10 million adult Mexicans are estimated to be living in the U.S.
---------
The most recent data available from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that nearly 9.7 million persons born in Mexico who were at least 18 years old lived in the United States as of March 2005. ∗ Given that population’s pace of growth in recent years, the estimated number of Mexican adults now living in the United States is about 10 million.

---------
For reference, it is said that 0.5 million Japanese and 3 million Chinese live in the U.S. today.
If Mexicans, Chinese, and Japanese never go, work, and live in the U.S., American GDP will drop by about 7%.
However, nobody looks like ancient Israelites in the 1st century. No religious revolution can be expected from them.

Fifteen years ago, I was in a car of a Tokyo metropolitan subway train.
It was the morning that sarin gas attacks were carried out to Tokyo commuters by a crazy religious group.
At an interchange station underground, a next line for me was halted for some emergency like a fire. So I went back to the previous line to get on another train to a nearby station to my destination.
There I got off and walked upstairs to the main street to advance and find a helicopter flying low over a subway station ahead, my usual destination, surrounded by business bildings. A pocket-size radio receiver I listened to through an earphone was breaking an emergency news about a gas accident or so in some stations including the right one for me, which was actually a sarin gas effect.
Nothing memorable other than this incident happened on that business day between two public holidays, since I made a little trip next day in 1995...
Total 6,300 people were injured and 13 people were killed on March 20, 1995, by the Sarin attack on the Tokyo subway, specifically, targeting elite bureaucrats working at Kasumigaseki.

March is the season of graduation in Japan. Youths leave schools, as once you did, if not looking back to see the wind playing alone as usual like your forgotten friend...)
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
