Rays of Hope
It is a Saturday night in Japan now.
Accordingly, I heard a TV news reporting that Japan has completed its aid mission to Russia in dismantling 80 nuclear-powered submarines having been operated by the Soviet Union Navy during the Cold War.
Actually, it is tantamount to Japan's destroying 80 of USSR submarines during the WWIII which however did not happen. The Japanese peace policy truly saved the Far East, though Russia contaminated some part of the Sea of Japan with many rotten nuclear reactors inside those rusty submarines.
SECTION I: F = a*A + b*B
It is very rare that any incident in this world depends on only one factor, as you experience in your daily life.
F = a x A is very rare, as you experience in your daily life,
where "F" is, say, your income; "A" is your ability in your profession; and "a" is a variable coefficient that can increase or decrease the effect of A.
Rather, F = (a x A) + (b x B) is the norm, as you can easily infer,
where "B" is a policy of the central bank/government and "b" is a variable coefficient that can increase or decrease the effect of B.
In most cases, "b" is very small, resulting in "b x B" being almost null.
Thus, most of ordinary people think, assuming b = 0,
F = a x A.
But, most of economists claim, assuming a = 0,
F = b x B.
Yet, the truth is with both "a" and "b" being significant or not zero:
F = a*A + b*B,
which means you need a concept called a threshold level beyond which it is definitely F = a*A + b*B.
You, ordinary people and economists, need a concept called a threshold level above which it looks definitely F = a*A or F = b*B.
(Ex. With your ability worth $10,000 (A) and a need for you expressed with a multiplier 3 (a), your income is :
F = a*A = 3 x $10,000 = $30,000 per year.)
Many economists cannot understand that any economic item consists of two terms:
F = (a term formulated by economics) + (a term economists cannot understand)
Here, F can be a real economic situation.
Learn Jesus' economics!
SECTION II: Jesus and Quaran

Is The Bible More Violent Than The Quran?
by Barbara Bradley Hagerty
"Much to my surprise, the Islamic scriptures in the Quran were actually far less bloody and less violent than those in the Bible," Jenkins says.
...
During the Crusades in the Middle Ages, the Catholic popes declared the Muslims Amalekites. In the great religious wars in the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries, Protestants and Catholics each believed the other side were the Amalekites and should be utterly destroyed.
...
El-Ansary says that in the past 30 years, there's been a perfect storm that has created a violent strain of Islam. The first is political: frustration at Western intervention in the Muslim world. The second is intellectual: the rise of Wahhabi Islam, a more fundamentalist interpretation of Islam subscribed to by Osama bin Laden. El-Ansary says fundamentalists have distorted Islam for political purposes.
...
In the end, the scholars can agree on one thing: The DNA of early Judaism, Christianity and Islam code for a lot of violence. Whether they can evolve out of it is another thing altogether...
Excerpt: 'Jesus Wars'
by Philip Jenkins
By 400, most Christians agreed that Jesus Christ was in some sense divine, and that he had both a human nature (Greek, physis) and a divine nature. But that belief allowed for a wide variety of interpretations, and if events had developed differently — if great councils had decided other than they actually did — any one of these various approaches might have established itself as orthodoxy.
...
At a great council held in 451 at Chalcedon (near modern Istanbul), the church formulated the statement that eventually became the official theology of the Roman Empire. This acknowledges Christ in two natures, which joined together in one person.
...
That Chalcedonian definition today stands as the official formula for the vast majority of Christians, whether they are Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox — although how many of those believers could explain the definition clearly is open to debate.
...
When Edward Gibbon wrote his classic account of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, he reported countless examples of Christian violence and fanaticism.
...
In extreme episodes, communion was enforced by physical violence, so that the Eucharist, which is based upon ideas of self-giving and self-sacrifice, became an instrument of oppression. A sixth-century historian records how the forces of Constantinople's Chalcedonian patriarch struck at Monophysite religious houses in the capital...

------
While Jesus told people to love their enemy, some of them hated and violated others who did not join them shouting "Chalcedon!"
While Quaran told people to respect Jesus, some of them hated and violated the so-called Christians who did not join them shouting "Quaran!"
It is time to leave any established religious bodies on the earth, heading for eternity where the God or Allah should be waiting for mankind.
SECTION III: Evaluation of Certain Forecast
On Thursday, September 18, 2008, I introduced the following forecast:
----------
What's more, Mr. Ravi Batra published a Japanese book with other co-authors. Its Japanese title means "A Big Explosion of Capitalism in 2010." He offers 10 predictions in the book:
1. The crude oil price will continue to rise over $100 per barrel.
2. The subprime loan crisis will burst up further repeatedly.
3. The Democratic Party will win in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election.
4. Many U.S. large corporations will go broke one after another.
5. The latest economic boom in Japan will end by the middle or the end of 2008.
6. In 2009, Iran will be another flash point in the Middle East.
7. Capitalism in the U.S. will come to the end in several years.
8. Between late 2009 and early 2010, a grave crisis will happen globally.
9. In 2010, China will also face a decisive crisis.
10. A hopeful economic system will emerge from Japan.

If you believe or not, any Indians who respect Japan should be respected.

So, what I recommend all the Japanese viewers of the EEE Reporter blog is to work on outstanding issues since the Lehman Shock like a new type of economists without being suppressed by conventional economists the God and Allah never praise.

What I think all the Christians want every Muslim to do is to declare that the 9/11 Terror of 2001 was not an act of Islam.
Till then, Americans will continue to interfere in the Islamic world, including Afghanistan.
It might be terminated only when all the Judaists leave the nation Israel or a Muslim is elected as President of the U.S.
Yet, nuclear warfare will be avoided through hard efforts by Japan and its hidden or true allies.

Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
