"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock"

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

As examples of conventional discussions, you may check the following:
------
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...


http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124494788&ps=cprs
------

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.

(http://www.honya-town.co.jp/hst/HTdispatch?nips_cd=9982943731 )

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.

"because their deeds were evil"

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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expatriate#American_expatriates
---------

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.

http://pewhispanic.org/files/reports/60.pdf
---------

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.

Other Aspects of the Truth

What was the global situation from the Great Depression to the inception of WWII?

What was the global situation from the end of WWII to the 21st situation?

What was the true industrial war between the U.S., the U.S.S.R, and Japan during the Cold War?

What is singular about China since late 1990's?

Is your past understanding so right?


SECTION I: The 16 Years From 1929 To 1945

GDPs of the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Empire of Japan, Italy, and Russia from the Great Depression to World War II are as follows:




SECTION II: The 53 Years From 1950 To 2003

GDPs of the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Japan, the USSR, and Russia after the end of World War II are as follows:





SECTION III: Crude Steel Production From 1950 To 2008

China has 1300 million population; the U.S. has 300 million population, and Japan has 125 million population.

But, crude steel production is not so proportional at all between 1950 to 2008 in each country, even in terms of GDP.

Yes, something is wrong with the U.S.

Something alarming with China.

But, it is now clear that Japan has been a hero in the 20th century, since when Japan's GDP surpassed that of the Soviet Union, the latter collapsed, putting an end to the Cold War.

Luk 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

"the world through him might be saved"

Lucky or Mystery?

Last night, I saw a small pick-up-type car running with the license plate number "77-77." Then I started to check cars running around more carefully to find those with "80-80," and "1."

As cars in Japan has each such a four-, three-, two-, or one-digit numeric expression as the main part of license ID, these figures are more visible than other elements of the car ID.

Anyway, I may be very lucky now, if you are, too.


SECTION I: Bluefin Tuna

Sushi dish with fatty tuna is not so bad.

However, I like sermon sushi more than tuna sushi, personally.

--------
Japan is both the biggest consumer and the leader in over tuna farming research.[5] Kinki University of Japan first successfully farmed already-hatched bluefin tuna in 1979. In 2002, they succeeded in breeding them, and in 2007, the process was repeated for a third generation.[6][7][8] This farm-raised tuna is know known as Kindai tuna. Kindai is a contraction of Kinki University (Kinki daigaku).[9] In 2009, Clean Seas, an Australian company with assistance from Kinki University [10][11] managed to breed Southern Bluefin Tuna in captivity, leading Time Magazine to award it second place in World’s Best Invention of 2009.[12][13]

Kushimoto, Japan (CNN) --
...
In that time, he's seen monumental change in the attempts to farm tuna. Kinki University boasts a farming program that may help stem the steep decline of the world's bluefin population....

They're produced from hatched eggs, raised, and then fished for consumption.

It's one of the few programs on the globe to successfully raise the delicate bluefin tuna.

For three generations, Okada has helped successfully raise bluefin tuna for the world's gourmet restaurants.

UAE, Japan Unite on Bluefin Farming

UAE, Japan Unite on Bluefin Farming
GLOBE - The UAE Ministry of Water and Environment has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kinki University in Japan to cultivate Pacific bluefin tuna in the UAE.

“This is the first collaboration of this type between Japan and the UAE,” Senator Hiroshige Seko, also Deputy Chairman of Kinki University, told Khaleej Times. According to the news organisation, he noted that traditional relations for both countries were primarily on the oil and financial sectors.

The MoU says that specialists from Kinky University will conduct a feasibility study on the possibility of bluefish farming in the UAE.

It is time for Japan to feed and multiply whales, say, in the Sea of Japan, so as to reduce import of beef from the U.S. and Australia.

We may be able to export whale meat to India and Chin.


SECTION II: Cars Globally Manufactured

The number of cars produced all over the world per year is now over 60 million.

It has been on a steep upward trend since 1984, though it was 73 million in 2007 and 69 million in 2008.


(Click to enlrage.)
(http://www.kitec.or.jp/sangaku/monotsukuri.pdf )

However, the above figure tells that the sub-era between 1972 and 1984 is featured by Japan as a rising global power who fixes its position as one of the three global leaders with EU and USA.

Following the success of Japan, Taiwan, Korea, China, and other developing countries started to focus on industrialization since 1984, as production of cars show.

History textbooks in the world must not drop this view point.


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

Jesus' economics is based on payment to workers, as everybody knows.

However, no economists today seem to understand this significance.

The Governor of the Bank of Japan today talked about commodity prices and business condition when asked about deflation.

However, the reason why deflation is wrong is that it leads to an overpowering downward trend of wages and salary, while there are so many products and services whose prices never go down along with a general trend of deflation. It means a drop in living standard. It also works very advantageously to the rich, eventually.

If workers, consumers, and tax payers have sufficient money, they will buy more, softening the adverse effect of deflation.

What the Governor of the Bank of Japan should talk about in a context of deflation is earned income in addition to unemployment.

Economists, including the Governor of the Bank of Japan, should learn Jesus' economics.




Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

"and lighting upon him"

SOLUTIONS & DISPOSAL


Jesus Christ presented a solution which is called love to those who are cruelly being disposed of by society, a nation, and the world.

Even today, millions of people per day are cruelly being disposed of in the world by their neighbors and their government.


SECTION I: Crisis Over?

Now nobody says in the U.S. and Japan that we are in the largest economic crisis in these 100 years, any more.

However we have been in there:
----------
Global electricity demand declined in 2009 for the first time since the end of World War II according to OECD estimates. Electricity demand experienced a constant climb over the second half of the 20th century through the oil crises of the 1970s, the Black Monday crash of 1987, and on through the dot-com bubble bursting at the turn of the millennium as development countered all downward forces. The credit crunch of 2008 though, has resulted in a drop of as much as 1.6% based on OECD figures derived from the IMF’s latest GDP growth forecast for 2009.

(Click to enlarge.)

http://oecdobserver.org/news/categoryfront.php/id/19/Databank.html
----------
The above figure tells that mankind now uses twice more electricity than in 1985, the great year for Japan though forced to face the Plaza Accord.

Without electricity, Americans today must be still hunting thousands of whales in the Pacific Ocean to take out whale oil from dead bodies of the marine mammals for lamps like the era before the great inventor Thomas Edison.

However, it is interesting that the global use of electricity has been so increasing constantly over time.

And, electricity means energy released to the air or the surrounding atmosphere not only from generators and power facilities but also from equipment that uses electric power. Accordingly, it is inevitable that the temperature is influenced to an upward trend, though the earth's cooling potential must surpass it with a great margin. Yet, electricity itself can be a stronger factor for some global warming around 2000 than derivative CO2.

Anyway, it looks like that as President Mr. Barack Obama and Prime Minister Mr. Yukio Hatoytama do not express a sense of crisis in these days, they are losing wider support from citizens.

(The Japanese media report recently that an approval rate for the Japanese Prime Minister has fallen around 30%...)


SECTION II: BRICs?

In Brazil, gangsters are harassing citizens as much as in Mexico. But, Japanese polices can arrest gangsters only because they possess hand guns, since such possession itself is illegal.

In Russia, there are no laws to regulate and prevent insider transactions in the stock market. But, Japan has strict regulations as much as the U.S. has.

In India, a kind of social segregation and discrimination is widely practiced based on the caste system like in the U.S. when no African Americans have a voting right. But, Japan is even studying whether it should give a local voting right to some foreign residents (however it is too early to implement the idea to allow for wider political activities in Japan by Chinese and Koreans who refuse to become a naturalized citizen of Japan).

In China, its prime minister attends a press conference only once a year. But, the Japanese prime minister answers questions from media reporters everyday which is nationwide televised.

Japan has been the largest and best ally to the U.S. not only because it is the second largest and strongest economic power in the world.

Japan understands the American democracy based on American Christianity more than BRICs do.

Americans should not try to shake hands with Mexican drug dealers or the like in BRICs but enhance, enrich, and expand the U.S.-Japan friendly and security relationships.


SECTION III: Economics?

Once even very rich people got poor to be one of ordinary people.

However after the Great Depression and especially after WWII, it has become very rare that any rich men truly fell down and out as long as their wealth is protected by established political systems, invested into proper industrial activities, and operated in the financial sector and the money market.

Their only concern is bankruptcy of a nation, since a government can tax them and even fail in avoid inflation, risking the net value of their wealth.

John Maynard Keynes must have simply saved the British Empire or the British Empire dominant world from bankruptcy, while he studied Marxism very much and understood a great mission of saving the poor. Yet, he did not call the rich into sacrifice for the poor.

Economists today have been learning economics which has developed with the above background.

Today's economics is not designed to make the poor rich.

However, the only sane end of the economics is to make the poor rich.

Ask economists whether they are studying economics to make the poor rich. They will be surely puzzled, since they are brainwashed by the underlying aim of the modern economics.

Economics is regarded as effective if it can find a way to avoid tax increase on the rich and a bankruptcy of a nation which can harm rich men's living. Today's economics never helps the poor, since it is designed to serve the rich.

Conversely, as Mr. Barack Obama was not an economist, he was elected as President of the U.S.

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

Jesus Christ taught that money cannot be a solution, though it makes people falsely believe that money has fixed a problem.

However, as s spiritual level of "money users" gets lower, the money users falsely truly believe that money has fixed a problem, since their mind gets so degraded.

However "love users" for solution find providence in the proceeding of the matter.

This love includes even forgiveness to an enemy, if you cannot easily bless your enemy.

Revolution, Betrayal, Liquidation, and Silence


Most of economists said that they could not judge if the steep hike of oil prices in the summer of 2008 was due to China or Wall Street.

Can't they still judge it today?

Anyway, many voters in the 2008 Presidential Election must have felt betrayed by those economists when they watched the crude oil prices collapsing down along with the NYSE indexes while holding ballots in their hands...


SECTION I: OIL PRICES - Index of Economic Change

The two basic and main materials of the today's industry-based civilization are iron and oil.

So, let's observe the trend of crude oil prices taking several minutes。

(Click to enlarge.)
http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=RWTC&f=D

Incidentally, if you cannot describe histories of steel and coal/oil/gas, you cannot be an economist. You are just a learner of economics formulae forever, simply enjoying a rich life in civilization you guess wrong or fail in understanding.

What an economist to tackle is how he can justify his salary while not contributing to GDP by increasing sales and production of valued goods and products.


SECTION I: OIL PRICES - Index of Regime Change

During and after the Gulf War period around 1991, oil prices were hiked by 100%, from a $20 per barrel level to a $40 per barrel level. However the prices plummeted down by 50% to a $20 per barrel level.

Then, Mr. Bill Clinton was elected as U.S. President in 1992; Mr. Morihiro Hosokawa elected as Japan's Prime Minister in 1993. They were so much welcomed by the media as a new type of leaders.




During and after the subprime-loan mortgage boom around 2008, oil prices were hiked by 100%, from a $70 per barrel level to a $140 per barrel level. However the prices soon plummeted down by 70% to a $40 per barrel level, though it climbed up again to a $80 per barrel level in 2009.

Then, Mr. Barack Obama was elected as U.S. President in 2008; Mr. Yukio Hatoyama was elected as Japan's Prime Minister in 2009. They were so much welcomed by the media as a new type of leaders.


SECTION III: Caught in a Dilemma

Somebody said on a TV screen that Mr. Karl Rove looked like a Japanese soldier who had continued his mission alone in the jungle of an island in the South Pacific for decades after WWII (believing that the war was still going on since no surrender was possible for the Empire of Japan).

-------
In 2005, Rove and then-Senator Barack Obama first met in the White House. Rove asked Obama about a passage in The Audacity of Hope, Obama's memoir, where Rove and others had been described as saying, "We are a Christian nation." Three years later, Rove found himself sharing a table with Obama's friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. "At the dinner,” Rove writes, "Jon [Meacham, the editor of Newsweek] sat between me and Valerie Jarrett… During the dinner, Jarrett emailed Obama on her BlackBerry to let him know she was breaking bread with Satan himself. He emailed her back and Jarrett made the mistake of showing Jon and me his reply, which was ‘Rove hates me.' I knew Senator Obama was alluding to our run-over the passage in his book. I asked Jarrett to tell him I wasn’t in the habit of hating people."

http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-03-08/the-10-biggest-scoops-from-karl-roves-memoir/2/
-------

It seems that Mr. Karl Rove cannot retire from politics as long as President Mr. Barack Obama stays in the White House.

-------
Voters are almost evenly divided about whether they'd re-elect President Obama over a Republican if the 2012 election were held today, according to a Gallup poll conducted Feb. 1-3.

Forty-four percent of registered voters would back Obama, 42 percent who choose the Republican candidate, 3 percent prefer some other choice and 11 percent are undecided. Independents would back the Republican over Obama by 46 percent to 31 percent, with the rest preferring someone else or having no opinion. The margin of error is 4 points.

http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/02/11/voters-divided-on-re-electing-obama-in-2012/
-------

However, it is poor European Americans who should decide the case in 2012, too.

Especially, it might be such poor European-American voters as chose Mr. Obama though they do not like the Democratic Party.

When a person or persons are caught in a grave dilemma, sometimes he or they try to lose a game so as to hide his or their mind, since he or they might get great help from others after the contrived loss.

However, it can look like betrayal to some.

The 2010 midterm election and the 2012 Presidential Election in the U.S. are going to be very complicated.

In Japan, the coming summer Upper House election can be, even if Prime Monister Mr. Yukio Hatoyama is determined to hold on the premiership.

What dilemma was Judas Iscariot in?

Was he intimidated in a manner that he or his family might have been harmed by the Romans and Judaist authorities unless he had betrayed Jesus Christ?

Then, did Jesus Christ accept the betrayal by Judas Iscariot and the inevitable crucifixion just to save the life of Judas Iscariot and his families?

Was it a dilemma for Jesus Christ as a physical entity?

But, one thing sure is that Jesus Christ is the one who never betrays anybody.

Have you ever met such a man in the political circles of Washington D.C. or Tokyo?
