"power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils"
LOOK AT YOURSELF, LOOK AT THE ERA
Some might say, "I know EEE Reporter."
But, to most of them, I will say, "I do not know you, since you are yet to know yourself."
Now, what can you say about the era if you have ever lived like EEE Reporter?
Did you influence the president of the United States of America, say, around 1985?
*** *** *** ***
Around 1985, the Japanese industry led the world. Japanese semiconductors, electronics, and other technological and engineering innovations fully advanced to make Japanese products surpass the global standard of the era in terms of quality and functionality. Japanese businesses fully leveraged politically-secured free access to the American market.
Technologically it was an era of transit from the mainframe computer to personal computers, though portable phones and the Internet were yet to emerge. It was also an era that Japanese businesses started to widely introduce computer software in their business.
For example, Japanese people for the first time came to use personal Japanese typewriters called "word processors," a kind of primitive PCs. Till then, it was not easy to print Japanese letters at home unlike the case of English sentences easily printed with a handy typewriters. Till then, only businesses and organizations used large, complicated, and expensive Japanese printers.
(There are 1945 kanji characters daily used in Japan, different from 26 alphabet characters. So, it is impossible to mount all the kanji+kana keys on a keyboard. But, publishing has been widely practiced in Japan since the 8th century using printing blocks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_j%C5%8Dy%C5%8D_kanji)
The word processors changed, like revolution, the way of making, editing, and copying Japanese documents, which was further extended by Japanese-OS-based personal computers equipped with Japanese printers. This change started to happen in a large scale around 1985.

Against ordinary morals of life, if you become rich and then materially happy, you are losing the blessing from the God.
But, you are getting trapped by the Devil.
The richer you become, the less you have love to the God and your neighbors.
Also, good and bad is a religious matter, though people think that good and bad has nothing to do with death and life which is in a religious domain.
Rich and poor, bad and good, death and life, and secular and spiritual are all closely connected.
Therefore, if you want eternal, spiritual, and good life, you must not be rich, bad, and secular towrad eternal death.

"the axe is laid unto the root of the trees"
Index to Measure How Happy the Rich Are
Indeed, if you are happy, how do you need the God, since you know your happiness is achieved through your own or others' transactions successful in the market nowadays?
Happy people would say,"It is my skill talking."
SECTION I: No More Unrealistic Economists
What does the following chart mean? The CO2 effect on the global temperature?

As I once stated, the year 1995 was a special year when power of computers and the Internet launched the U.S. economy and Americans to a new frontier for their activities.
Also, around 2005, development of software started to allow for huge and complicated financial transactions in the degree never so easily feasible before, even with data of tens of millions of subprime loan contracts.
However economists will only focus on accompanying financial data issued from FRB or other financial institutes, since they cannot bring forth or realize such technological innovation for themselves.
Without development of technology in these decades, economists today must be just arguing the Dow Jones Index at the level of 1985.
SECTION II: How to Save the World
Simply, it is to make all the people rich or poor at whatever level.
But, stock trading never realizes this.

"there is none that doeth good"
Post-Graduate Course of Social Science
In Japan, people who have no degrees sometimes say that they have mastered social science, which is not necessarily a lie, since they have learnt much in society.
Yet, having higher educational backgrounds is not recommended at all by Jesus Christ.
Anyway, a billionaire does not study the Bible seriously, while the Bible study can be more valuable than mastering social science.
SECTION I: Super-Rich Men
There are so many billionaires in the U.S. and Europe, which is why the Era of America/Europe must be ended sooner or later.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8560731.stm
There are so many billionaires in the U.S. and Europe, which is why they have no intention to save the world by sacrificing themselves.
It is so, since the God said not to serve money but to serve Him, while Americans and Europeans call themselves Christians or Judaists, in most cases.
Until they have become completely poor, no problems will be truly fixed. People will just continue to generate more problems while each trying to be rich or one of billionaires.
This is the situation where the God is forgotten. This is the situation where the God is angry.
SECTION II: Crimes and Wealth
To be rich, people would rather commit a crime of any sort.
To be rich, people would rather violate any moral code taught in society.
Being rich is a proof and evidence for committing a crime or violating a moral code.
Nobody in this world has ever become rich or continued to be rich without committing a crime or violating a moral code.
So, do not try to be rich, since you will surely have to commit a religious sin of neglecting your poor neighbors.
Conversely, as long as there is one person who is poorer than you, you can be blamed by the God.
You will be surely condemned if you have any religious title, such as the Pope.

"what persecutions I endured"
Inconvenient Snowing
It snowed again around Tokyo last night. It is not only I that think the global warming has already stopped, since it has snowed more often around Tokyo this year than in previous years.
As too many people are shouting, "CO2, CO2, Global Warming, Emission Right Trade!!", I like to balance the situation with the following theory:
----------
Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age
The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science....
Ice cores, ocean sediment cores, the geologic record, and studies of ancient plant and animal populations all demonstrate a regular cyclic pattern of Ice Age glacial maximums which each last about 100,000 years, separated by intervening warm interglacials, each lasting about 12,000 years.
Most of the long-term climate data collected from various sources also shows a strong correlation with the three astronomical cycles which are together known as the Milankovich cycles.
The three Milankovich cycles include the tilt of the earth, which varies over a 41,000 year period; the shape of the earth’s orbit, which changes over a period of 100,000 years; and the Precession of the Equinoxes, also known as the earth’s ‘wobble’, which gradually rotates the direction of the earth’s axis over a period of 26,000 years.
According to the Milankovich theory of Ice Age causation, these three astronomical cycles, each of which effects the amount of solar radiation which reaches the earth, act together to produce the cycle of cold Ice Age maximums and warm interglacials.

There is one big conspiracy theory: the 9/11 Terror conspiracy theory.
As you know I do not support this theory, though there is a possibility that U.S. intelligence agencies have not yet honestly disclosed every knowledge concerned they had before September 11, 2001.
But, if this CO2 fuss should be a conspiracy, it is a little more complicated.
It looks like including a conspiracy part and a non-conspiracy part. Yet, it is an obligation of each member of mankind to study it by himself or herself.
So, this is my part of meeting this obligation.

"an unruly evil, full of deadly poison"
Those Who Die in War and Who Do Not
You cannot understand a feeling of those who are killed in war.
Accordingly, you cannot be perfectly knowledgeable.
But, can you continue to live a rich life admitting that you are a kind of fool, since you do not know the feeling of losing life in war?
So, surrender to peace!
SECTION I: Compensation to Iraqi People
Thousands of Americans and other nationals were killed by terror in New York and Washington D.C. on September 11, 2001. Flawless justice must be executed to show full respect to those victims. Put simply, your execution of justice must be authorized by the God.
Now, it might be time to review the War on Iraq.
1) From the beginning, Iraq did not declare war against the United States.
2) No Iraqi national troops attacked the U.S. on September 11, 2001.
3) The then Iraqi Government was not prepared for war against the U.S. with weapons of mass destruction on September 11, 2001.
4) Only a dozen of Islamic terrorists attacked New York and Washington D.C., while they were not ordered to do so by the Iraqi Government on September 11, 2001.
Accordingly, there is no justice in the United States and its War on Iraq.
The United States has to make reparation for Iraqi victims of the war.
----------
A September 14, 2007 estimate by ORB (Opinion Research Business), an independent British polling agency, suggests that the total Iraqi violent death toll due to the Iraq War since the US-led invasion is more than 1.2 million (1,220,580). Although higher than the 2006 Lancet estimate, these results, which were based on a survey of 1499 adults in Iraq from August 12–19, 2007, are reasonably consistent with the figures that were published in the Lancet study.[148][149][150][151]
On January 28, 2008, ORB published an update based on additional work carried out in rural areas of Iraq. Some 600 additional interviews were undertaken and as a result of this the death estimate was revised to 1,033,000 with a given range of 946,000 to 1,120,000.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_invasion_of_Iraq#Iraqi_refugees
----------
A 23-year old female Iraqi student said, "I like a strong leader like Saddam Hussein."
A 23-year old male Iraqi student said, "The incumbent prime minister always gauges the state of mind of Americans and Iranians."
A 29-year old female Iraqi office worker said, "The government must take employment measures, supply electric power and clean water through reliable services."
A 28-year old male Iraqi taxi driver said, "Employment measures are the most important. The incumbent prime minister does not enforce religious discrimination."
A 54-year old jobless Iraqi man said, "All the candidates for the election are spies working for America," accoutering to The Tokyo Shimbun newspaper.
In this way, the election has been going on in Iraq, while Americans are watching a movie on American soldiers in Iraq which Hollywood, cultivated by American Judaists, recommends.
Indeed, it is not a movie on American soldiers risking their life to remove bombs that Iraqi people need. It is reparation. One million dollars to one victim, totalling one trillion dollars. Yes, $1 trillion as FRB has provided for Wall Street to settle the 2008 Financial Crisis.
If you cannot put yourself in the position of ordinary Iraqi citizens, how can you enjoy the Academy-awarded movie?
In addition, the Avatar looks like a work by a crazy man for crazy people with so much violence depicted with so much expensive technology to earn so much at the box office.
Christians should not go and watch such a work.
SECTION II: How to Bring 9-11-Terror-Responsible Terrorists to Justice
First of all, you should not fail in identifying those responsible for the 9/11 Terror.
For example, no Iraqi ordinary citizens and Afghan ordinary citizens are responsible.
You should not cause death to any of those innocent citizens in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If you did, your operation is a failure. You must immediately exterminate the operation.
It is the first step toward bringing 9-11-Terror-responsible terrorists to justice.

An old lady watching an old picture said, "Oh, I was this young," since she was with her two sons five years old or so in the antique picture, in an old Swedish film.
One of her sons now around 70 years old stood before her in manners befitting a medical doctor which he was, while the wife of his own son watched the very old lady as if looking at something horrible beyond her understanding, since they happened to visit her mansion.
In 1950's, some Europeans created such a movie.

"he might destroy the works of the devil"
Under History, Industry, and Bridge
A 95-year old man was lying alone in a small room of an apartment house originally built for day laborers at Yokohama poor men's district.
A medical doctor came to check him, saying to a TV camera that every two and a half days an old man living alone in this district dies.
I remembered that I used to drive through a modern, sophisticated, and high-raised bridge over the sea of the Yokohama Port on the west side of the Tokyo Bay.
In a parking and rest area on an island connected by the bridge, there were many sight seers any time I visited it. Even today there must be many strangers around the place, since Yokohama is a prosperous city.
SECTION I: IRON
Crude Steel Production Ranking 2009 (M tons)
1. China...//...567....//...up 13.5%
2. JAPAN...//....88....//...down 26.3%
3. Russia...//...60...//...down 12.6%
4. USA....//....58...//...down 36.4%
5. India....//....57...//...up 2.7%
(China has the 1300 million population and India 1200 million, while USA 310 million, Russia 140 million, and Japan 120 million.)
By 2020, India is expected to produce five times today's production of crude steel.
Civilization today is composed of the following factors:
1. Iron
2. Petroleum/Chemicals
3. Electronics
4. Computer Software
Accordingly, it is important to see who lead the world in these sectors.
The fact that China and India have each 1 billion more population than the U.S. is important as you know.
Yet, Japan is leading in electronics. The U.S. is leading in computer software. Japan and the U.S. will continue to lead in technology on iron and petroleum (chemicals).
The balance of the industrial power and capability among these five nations is also important in terms of security and politics in the world.
In addition, Japan is the only peaceful country among G5, without nuclear weapons.
It is also noteworthy that each of G5 has different religious backgrounds: Japan with unique Buddhism, the U.S. with Christianity/Judaism complex, India with Hinduism. Russia with orthodox Christianity, and China Marxism/Taoism complex.
Of course, outside this domain, EU and Islamic nations will claim their dominant presence and leadership in technology and crude oil, with the Vatican and Mecca as their religious centers. So, we may call them Region 2.
G5 + R2 are truly responsible for avoiding another 2001 9/11 Terror and another Lehman Shock.
In other word, America cannot win G4 + R2 anymore.
SECTION II: War & Bridge
A 24-year-old son did not want to join the army. But, his German born father sternly recommended him to do so.
With whatever emotion, the son volunteered to join President Lincoln and fully utilized his talent in engineering to be promoted to colonel through battles.
Nonetheless, while the Civil War was yet to be finished, his father told him to leave the army and join him working in construction of a bridge over the Ohio River, since President Lincoln's victory was obvious to the father who experienced Napoleonic wars around Prussia, presently Germany, though as a child.
As the father invented a new method to produce strong wire ropes used for a suspension bridge and remarkably succeeded in application to Niagara, he got in charge of designing and supervising a 5,989 foot (1825 m) long bridge over the East River called the Brooklyn Bridge in 1867.
Yet, during measurement work, he was injured and subsequently died.
However, his son succeeded the father to be eventually and unfortunately injured himself in underwater work for engineering the basement of a tower of the bridge.
His German American wife then studied civil engineering and helped him until the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883.
The story of John Roebling (1806-1869) and his son Washington Roebling (1837-1926) symbolizes the start of the Era after the Civil War.
What I want to say is that a father should not force his son to go to battle, no matter how talented his son is as army engineer.
Also, the year 1867, when the Brooklyn Bridge plan was authorized, was the last year for the last samurai regime in Japan.
After the start of Westernization of Japan in 1868, many elite Japanese visited New York to see the Brooklyn Bridge. Even after WWII, many ordinary Japanese visited New York to be highly impressed by the Bridge, "How could we fight and win the country who built this great bridge when Japan just entered the Meiji Period!"
Indeed, the Era of Napoleon has long gone; the Era of Lincoln has long gone; and the War of the Pacific has long gone, since China is the largest steel producer today due to huge engineering and financial help from Japan.

Hatoyama, Ozawa, Toyota, and Coin from Fish
Other Aspects of Truth
"Do not believe in me but Jesus Christ."
..."Didn't Jesus play a trick on people as if performing a miracle?"
"Even Muslims never think so, respecting Jesus Christ as a holy messenger."
..."Indeed, the crucifixion cannot be a trick..."
1. Anti-American Stance of P.M. Mr. Yukio Hatoyama
Why is Prime Minister Mr. Yukio Hatoyama anti-American, while he is a grandson of the founder of the tire giant Bridgstone and also of the former prime minister of Japan?
The Bridgestone-Ford problem that arose from car accidents in the U.S. might have some influence on him, since the American media attacked the Japanese tire maker Bridgestone excessively.
But, Mrs. Miyuki Hatoyama, wife of Mr. Yukio Hatoyama, might be another factor. She worked as a waitress in a restaurant in New York where she met Mr. Yukio Hatoyama when he was studying in a certain American graduate school. Mrs. Hatoyama was then married with her first husband. She must not have been rich. She might have a bad memory in New York.
Another point to be noted is Mr. Yukio Hatoyama's son has been working in a university in Moscow, since the one of the grandfather of Mr. Yukio Hatoyama made great contribution to normalization of the Japan-Soviet relationship after WWII.
2. Anti-Bureaucratic Stance of DPJ Director-General Mr. Ichiro Ozawa
Why is Director-General of the Democratic Party of Japan Mr. Ichiro Ozawa so anti-bureaucratic?
Bureaucrats of Japan are very different from those in Anglo-Saxon countries. Japanese elite bureaucrats live on tradition of samurais who governed Japan before its Westernization in the late 19th century. Though the era of samurai regimes had gone, most of samurais and their descendants continued to occupy important positions of the Imperial Government (elite bureaucrats were however selected through open but hard examinations). Even after WWII, this tradition has not changed. Most of elite bureaucrats of Japan graduate from the University of Tokyo or other ex-imperial universities. So, they do not respect ordinary people who graduate from ordinary universities.
Yet, Mr. Ichiro Ozawa did not graduate from the University of Tokyo. He must have been angry with hidden contempt of those elite bureaucrats all through his political life as national lawmaker for 40 years. Accordingly, he looks like being eager to harm and destroy the pride of elite bureaucrats of Japan. As Mr. Ozawa is now de-facto No.1 politician of the ruling DPJ, he can lead his followers in the National Diet to demolish the structure of the bureaucratic domain.
3. NHK TV Documentary Program on Toyota in 2006
When Toyota's President Mr. Akio Toyoda recently came back from his tested tour to the U.S. and China, he made an unusual TV live appearance in Tokyo, admitting that Prius could not stop as expected by a driver but it would further move forward two feet due to a 0.06 sec problem of a program inside Prius, which I pointed at in this blog.
http://eereporter.blogspot.com/2010/02/which-lord-hath-made-known-unto-us.html
However, the real issue could be clearly seen in an NHK TV documentary film broadcast in 2006 when Toyota started to build pickup trucks in Texas, USA.
At the time, the number of Toyota cars subject to recall was alarmingly increasing. The number of recalled Toyota cars at the time was almost as many as Toyota cars sold in Japan annually.
In 2001, Toyota's sales in the American market were less than GM's and Ford's.
Toyota should have kept the level while enhancing quality of its products.
Anyway, it was interesting that History Channel presented yesterday this TV report through a cable TV provider around Tokyo yesterday, very timely.
http://www.nhk.or.jp/special/onair/061126.html
More interestingly, Toyota's President Mr. Akio Toyoda looks like learning a lesson, since he addressed directly 9,000 workers in a big hall of Toyota's headquarters in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. He explained the situation his company now faces candidly after he returned from Tokyo. As he had been very seclusive from the Media and Toyota's employees before, it looks like a big change for improvement.
It is no wonder that somebody viewing the EEE-Reporter blog has informed Toyota's senior current or ex-directors, including Mr. Akio Toyoda's father and his uncle, of this serious concern of EEE Reporter.
4. Jesus Christ & Miracles
Jesus Christ travelled around, preaching the Gospel.
He had no money, no titles, no ties with authority and rich men, no educational backgrounds, no past experiences of any sort to be identified as suitable for a hero, and no force of arms.
What's more, Israelites and Judaists say that what he preached was nothing new at all or something new but a kind of nonsense.
Yet, many people thought that He was a kind of rabbi, so that they listened to Him.
If the Bible had only presented contents of His preaching, how many Roman citizens would have believed in Him being the Son of God. The New Testament was written with expectation that it would be read by Roman citizens. But, could such Bible gain many followers of Jesus Christ among Roman citizens in the first century?
Besides, there had been many ancient Greeks who had talked about excellent philosophy Romans subsequently respectfully learned. Words of Jesus Christ alone might not have appealed to Romans.
But, Jesus Christ travelled around, preaching the Gospel and performing miracles.
He had no money, no titles, no ties with authority and rich men, no educational backgrounds, no past experiences of any sort to be identified as suitable for a hero, and no force of arms.
But, He could perform miracles, which decided characteristics of the Gospels.
When Roman citizens saw any little miracle around themselves that could be associated or linked with faith in Jesus Christ, they definitely consolidated their belief in Jesus Christ and never left it.
Yes, it is miracles that acted as an interface between Jesus Christ and non-Hebrew believers for these 2000 years as well as His contemporary people.
Therefore, those who love to talk about holy miracles are only genuine Christians even today, though Jesus Christ said that those who do not believe never believe if they see a miracle.
For example, Jesus Christ never touched or used money during His mission but did not forbade His followers to touch or use money. He did not save poor people by giving big money which He must have been able to get, as He is the Son of God. No miracles happened around Jesus Christ in terms of money, except, for instance, a silver coin in the mouth of a certain fish His possible follower caught from the water following His direction.
So, this is an inconclusive conclusion of a thought about Jesus Christ and miracles as well as money.

At the time, the number of Toyota cars subject to recall was alarmingly increasing. The number of recalled Toyota cars at the time was almost as many as Toyota cars sold in Japan annually.
In 2001, Toyota's sales in the American market were less than GM's and Ford's.
Toyota should have kept the level while enhancing quality of its products.
Anyway, it was interesting that History Channel presented yesterday this TV report through a cable TV provider around Tokyo yesterday, very timely.

More interestingly, Toyota's President Mr. Akio Toyoda looks like learning a lesson, since he addressed directly 9,000 workers in a big hall of Toyota's headquarters in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. He explained the situation his company now faces candidly after he returned from Tokyo. As he had been very seclusive from the Media and Toyota's employees before, it looks like a big change for improvement.
It is no wonder that somebody viewing the EEE-Reporter blog has informed Toyota's senior current or ex-directors, including Mr. Akio Toyoda's father and his uncle, of this serious concern of EEE Reporter.
4. Jesus Christ & Miracles
Jesus Christ travelled around, preaching the Gospel.
He had no money, no titles, no ties with authority and rich men, no educational backgrounds, no past experiences of any sort to be identified as suitable for a hero, and no force of arms.
What's more, Israelites and Judaists say that what he preached was nothing new at all or something new but a kind of nonsense.
Yet, many people thought that He was a kind of rabbi, so that they listened to Him.
If the Bible had only presented contents of His preaching, how many Roman citizens would have believed in Him being the Son of God. The New Testament was written with expectation that it would be read by Roman citizens. But, could such Bible gain many followers of Jesus Christ among Roman citizens in the first century?
Besides, there had been many ancient Greeks who had talked about excellent philosophy Romans subsequently respectfully learned. Words of Jesus Christ alone might not have appealed to Romans.
But, Jesus Christ travelled around, preaching the Gospel and performing miracles.
He had no money, no titles, no ties with authority and rich men, no educational backgrounds, no past experiences of any sort to be identified as suitable for a hero, and no force of arms.
But, He could perform miracles, which decided characteristics of the Gospels.
When Roman citizens saw any little miracle around themselves that could be associated or linked with faith in Jesus Christ, they definitely consolidated their belief in Jesus Christ and never left it.
Yes, it is miracles that acted as an interface between Jesus Christ and non-Hebrew believers for these 2000 years as well as His contemporary people.
Therefore, those who love to talk about holy miracles are only genuine Christians even today, though Jesus Christ said that those who do not believe never believe if they see a miracle.
For example, Jesus Christ never touched or used money during His mission but did not forbade His followers to touch or use money. He did not save poor people by giving big money which He must have been able to get, as He is the Son of God. No miracles happened around Jesus Christ in terms of money, except, for instance, a silver coin in the mouth of a certain fish His possible follower caught from the water following His direction.
So, this is an inconclusive conclusion of a thought about Jesus Christ and miracles as well as money.

Whatever religion you might observe officially or personally, it can be simply regarded as a practice of your obligation to your ancestors.
As any religion has an inception, it must have a vanishing point.
It is called the Kingdom of God.
