"they are the sons of God"
A Big Villain Looking Innocent
NHK invited to its TV studio in Tokyo many Japanese youths and South Korean youths for discussion to improve mutual understanding together with a South Korean movie director, a Japanese professor, etc.
Unbelievably, in a TV program being broadcast all over Japan, the middle-aged Korean movie director insulted a Japanese young man who candidly spoke his thought on the Japanese ruling of the Korean Peninsula before WWII. It is unthinkable. It was televised all over Japan. But, the Korean movie director insulted a Japanese youth who candidly spoke his thought on the Japanese ruling of the Korean Peninsula before WWII, in a TV debate program being broadcast all over Japan.
However, there must have been more stupid and dangerous guys in Korea before the annexation of Korea in 1910.
SECTION I: Pearl Harbor and Kobe
In 1941, Japanese pilots of the Imperial Navy attacked U.S. soldiers, but not U.S. citizens, well armed and shooting bullets to the sky endlessly in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
In 1945, an American pilot attacked a Japanese young woman without any arms running on the street of Kobe City, Japan, shooting to her back from the sky above.
But, the God forced the American coward pilot to stop shooting and saved her, according to a testimony of the young Japanese woman who is now 88-years old with two children and five grandchildren.
(http://www.janjanblog.com/archives/12271 )
It was one of many such examples of Americans' strafing Japanese citizens, including the current Tokyo Governor Mr. Shintaro Ishihara. Hundreds of coward American pilots pulled the trigger of machine guns equipped on their fighter planes on the streets and fields of Japan to kill young women and children in 1945.
Yet, those young Japanese women and children killed by coward American pilots in 1945 were not enshrined in the Tokyo Yasukuni Shrine, since the Shrine is for paying respect for fallen soldiers since the Meiji Restoration of the imperial authority.
SECTION II: Okinawa to Guam
The U.S. Government has come to realize that they made a big mistake, believing that the world in the 21st century would be governed by G2, America and China.
However, the only ground for this concept is that China's GDP would soon be bigger than Japan's; China would be more hi-tech and advanced economy than Japan would be; and China would purchase U.S. Treasury bonds twice or three times more than Japan have purchased, all of which is meaningless, since China does not share democratic ideal with America and China has a danger of a civil war inside since its establishment in 1949.
The U.S. Government foolishly launched a plan to pull back its main defense forces from the line linking the Korean Peninsula, main land Japan, and Okinawa to the backward line from Hawaii to Guam, since China is a semi-allied country so friendly to Washington and Wall Street.
As the first step, the U.S. Government decided to relocate its Marines division stationed around Futenma, Okinawa, to Guam, while keeping a new air station in Henoko, Okinawa.
But, as now the U.S. Government has realized that China might not be the best friend of Washington and Wall Street, they start to change the plan. They find a possibility that they will lose friendship of Japan and face betrayal of China. America might lose both Japan and China (and South Korea) as friendly nations, while there is no assurance that the Islamic world will come to respect America more as a result of the Iraqi War and the Afghan War.
In order to keep the American main defence force in Okinawa, however the U.S. Government must make concession so as to lessen a burden Okinawa people have suffered so long. Otherwise, their presence in Okinawa and Japan loses justice. Besides, most of operational costs of the American bases in Japan are covered and incurred by the Japanese Government. Even, the U.S. Government shamelessly requested the Japanese Government to pay the bills for construction of houses and other facilities in Guam to be used by American Marines who will be sent to the middle east and Afghanistan mostly.
Strategically, if the U.S. Government continues to take responsibility for peace in the Far East, its plan to move Marines and other key forces from Okinawa and Japan to Guam is nonsense, since China has no intention to operate in the Far East in a friendly manner as G2.
Politically, if the U.S. Government does not make any efforts to reduce burdens the Okinawa Island and Okinawa residents have suffered, its new idea to stay in Okinawa and Japan as before is also nonsense, since most of the Japanese people have come to realize that America does not respect Okinawa people and Japanese voters.
(Arrogant China thinks that they will soon overwhelm Japan and America in the Far East with their military expansion. And, Koreans, Taiwanese, and Japanese might obey instructions issued from Beijing by leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. America will lose the War on Terror eventually. America will leave Asia. This is their ultimate idea on the future, which tells how blind and foolish Chinese elites are. In this process pursued by them, another Chinese civil war and revolution will occur, abolishing the ruling by the Chinese Communist Party. The new democratic Chinese Government will desperately need help from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan if not from the U.S.)
So, people and elites concerned should think over this dilemma the U.S. Government now faces.
One solution is for Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. to strongly request China to reduce its military capability.
China must abandon its defence concept of "the First and Second Marine Defence Lines."

SECTION III: The Russian Empire to Take Korea
Today NHK broadcast a discussion program inviting to its studio in Tokyo many Japanese youths and South Korean youths together with a rude South Korean movie director, a Japanese professor, an ex-Japanese diplomat, etc.
Stupidly they did not talk about how much Japan paid compensation after WWII and how much assets Japan left in Korea after WWII.
They did not talk about why Koreans did not resort to resistance, sabotage, terror, and any guerrilla war against the Empire of Japan for 36 years at least after the annexation.
But, most disappointing is that they did not talk about the Qing (Ching) dynasty to which the Kingdom of Korea nominally belonged and the Russian Empire that tried to colonize Korea and the Empire of Japan.
----------------
The Russians and the Japanese were both part of the eight member international force which was sent in to quell the Boxer Rebellion and to relieve the international legations under siege in the Chinese capital. As with other member nations, the Russians sent troops into Beijing. Russia had already sent 177,000 soldiers to Manchuria, nominally to protect its railways under construction. The troops of the Qing empire & the participants of the Boxer Rebellion could do nothing against this massive army. As a result, the Qing troops were ejected from Manchuria & the Russian troops settled in.[6] Russia assured the other powers that it would vacate the area after the crisis. However, by 1903, the Russians had not yet established any timetable for withdrawal[7] and had actually strengthened their position in Manchuria.
The Japanese statesman, Itō Hirobumi, started to negotiate with the Russians. He believed that Japan was too weak to evict Russia militarily, so he proposed giving Russia control over Manchuria in exchange for Japanese control of northern Korea. Meanwhile, Japan and Britain had signed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in 1902, the British seeking to restrict naval competition by keeping the Russian Pacific seaports of Vladivostok and Port Arthur from their full use.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Japanese_War#Russian_Encroachment
----------------
Without the Empire of Japan, the Russian Empire would have permanently occupied Manchuria and then North Korea to South Korea, while driving out the ruling class of Qing out of Beijing.
Like the British Empire colonizing and occupying India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Malaysia as well as Singapore, the Russian Empire tried to colonize Manchuria, Northern China, Korea, and Japan, in which Russians failed completely due to the defeat in the war against the Empire of Japan.
This is the key situation that led to the annexation of Korea to Japan, since Korean rulers and elites then did not understand this situation still relying on decaying Ching.
However, when WWII ended, most of Koreans wanted independence from Japan. So, the Empire of Japan did not receive any thanks from Koreans, though the Empire had executed so much national budget in, and invested so much into, Korea and educated Koreans so much, unlike colonization by Western powers who simply exploited Africans and Asians. The Empire should not have annexed Korea, though in that case Kore might have been colonized by Russians, or all the Korean Peninsula today should have been called "North Korea."
This is the story on the Japanese side. You may listen to Koreans, including a rude S. Korean movie director.

Recently I read a book about a female interpreter, educated in France, of Empress Dowager Xi Taihou (1835-1908) (Seitaikou in Japanese) of Ching.
(http://bookweb.kinokuniya.co.jp/htm/4022615966.html )
Even a story of a female interpreter, educated in France, of an Empress Dowager of Qing is so strange, complex, and fascinating.
http://solongletty.tripod.com/princessderling/
You should not judge a whole story of the Empire of Japan, since the Kingdom of Korea had gone, the Russian Empire had gone, the Qing Dynasty had gone, and the Empire of Japan itself had gone in the first half of the 20th century.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

"the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah"
To/From Haneda Airport (with Korean guides for trains)
An Apology to Enemy Friends Do Not Need
Walter Cronkite who died at 92 in 2009 once said, "I made a big mistake retiring at 65."
At whatever age, we should not make a mistake before the God.
Yet, you have to wait for a certain age of your own to see what mistakes you did to the God.
SECTION I: Apology to Koreans
Socialistic Japanese politicians hate Japanese nationalism and militarism. They hate the establishment of the Japanese society, consisting of very wealthy people, elite bureaucrats, industry leaders, executive of large businesses, and Conservative politicians in local and national levels.
No matter how much money they have, socialistic Japanese politicians hate Japanese nationalism and militarism and hence conservative rich men and politicians (in addition to the imperial authority).
No matter how much rich life they enjoy, socialistic Japanese politicians hate conservative rich men and politicians (in addition to the imperial authority), since they think they are more righteous than their enemies are.
No matter how much they love to be Japanese citizens, socialistic Japanese politicians hate conservative rich men and politicians (in addition to the imperial authority) who look like keeping the same mentality of politicians in the Empire of Japan before 1945.
No matter how much they enjoy status of being members of the most advanced and respected Japan, socialistic Japanese politicians hate conservative rich men and politicians (in addition to the imperial authority) who look like approving the annexation of Korea by the Empire of Japan in the early 20th century.
So, they blame conservative rich men and politicians (in addition to the imperial authority) who look like approving the annexation of Korea by the Empire of Japan in the early 20th century and who look like having no intention to apologize Koreans.
No matter how much they enjoy a sense of superiority to Koreans, socialistic Japanese politicians request conservative rich men and politicians (in addition to the imperial authority) to apologize Koreans for the annexation of Korea by the Empire of Japan in the early 20th century.
But, they do not personally and individually do not apologize Koreans, as they stay in Japan, earn big money in Japan, and do not give their money to Koreans.
They think as they are not conservative rich men and politicians (in addition to the imperial authority), they are not responsible and they have rights to blame other Japanese on behalf of poor Koreans.
They should go to Korea and stay there on August 15, every year. Socialistic Japanese politicians should apologize to Koreans in Seoul and Pyongyang on August 15, every year. Socialistic anti-Japanese politicians of Japan should give up their citizenship in Japan and become South or Korean Korean citizens. Then, they will know how much Japan and Japanese are inwardly respected by Korean citizens. (But as those rich and intellectual socialistic Japanese despise inwardly Koreans, they will not.)
Without the historical success of the Empire of Japan till August 15, 1945, South Korea today must be a kind of North Korea, Tibet, Chechen, Iraq, or Afghanistan.
Without the historical success of the Empire of Japan till August 15, 1945, China today must be a kind of North Korea, Tibet, Chechen, Iraq, or Afghanistan.
As ancestors of Koreans were so wise that they accepted the annexation to the Empire of Japan without resorting war as seen today in North Korea, Tibet, Chechen, Iraq, or Afghanistan, while those Koreans were so proud and brave as proved in the Imperial Army and Navy where they joined.
The Japanese Government should repeatedly apologize to Koreans who have never enjoyed any merit from the annexation to the Empire of Japan between 1910 and 1945 as long as they live, explaining the international state before WWII and the domestic state of the Korean Peninsula as well as the Yi Dynasty, since the Empire of Japan did not try to make Koreans a kind of American slaves before the Civil War but a kind of African Americans in the Obama era.
(Samsung owes its success to Japanese engineers who quit Japanese companies to work in Samsung in 1990's for various private reasons.)
SECTION II: House of Yi
Koreans had been traditionally subject to China or each Chinese dynasty (till annexation to the Empire of Japan) unlike Japan that severed such a tie with Chinese empires in the seventh century through war with Tang China.
----------
After the annexation of the Korean Peninsula by Japan, some members were mediatized into the Korean royal family and the Korean peerage by the Japanese government[1] until 1947, just before the Japanese Constitution was promulgated[2]. Since then, their status as royalty has not been acknowledged by any country, however they continue to attract occasional media attention in South Korea. This happened most recently with the July 2005 funeral of Prince Gu, former head of the royal household.
...
A 2006 poll conducted by the Realmeter research company revealed just under 55% of South Koreans favor restoring the Korean monarchy of the Yi Royal Family of Korea[3].
...
After Emperor Sunjong died in 1926, Crown Prince Eun was called "King Lee of Korea" a nominal title because Joseon had already lost its sovereignty to Japan. Crown Prince Eun married Princess Masako Nashimoto (later, Crown Princess Bangja of Korea), a member of Miyake family. Some Koreans accused Japan that Princess Bangja, once one of three candidates for then Japan's next empress, was instead designated as Eun's wife, as a medical test indicated she could be barren. Some media claimed that the arranged marriage was Japan's imperialist conspiracy to terminate the Korean imperial lineage. However, Princess Bangja gave birth to the eldest son, Prince Jin in 1921; the second son, Prince Gu in 1931.

----------
I do not think descendants of the last king or emperor of Korea hold a grudge to Japan of today.
By the way, it is time for South Korean troops to retreat from the Takeshima Island in the Sea of Japan which belongs to Shimane Prefecture, Japan.
It is time for North Korea to return Japanese citizens adduced by spies of North Korea in these decades.
What both Koreas are doing to Japan and Japanese citizens today can be a cause for war if it was before WWII.
SECTION III: Truth of Human Evolution
There was a group of human beings in Africa as shown with the letter "L" in the above figure. It denotes that mankind split to Neanderthals and "others."
(Click to enlarge)
http://www.geocities.jp/ikoh12/kennkyuuno_to/011_1mtdna_akei_karamita_keitou_to_kakusan.html
As for "others," human beings with the "L" type of the mitochondria DNA evolved to the "L3" and "M1" types eventually while they were living in Africa and also evolving into other types of human beings.
Human beings featured by the "L3" and "M1" types of the mitochondria DNA moved out of Africa to India finally. In India, they established the "M" type of human beings who became the commons ancestors of most of Asians.
Simultaneously, the human beings with the "L3" type of the mitochondria DNA also evolved to the "N" type. It must have been in the middle east that they lived and further evolved to various types covering part of today's Asians and Europeans as well as some other races.
Then, the human beings with the "N" type of the mitochondria DNA evolved to the "R" type. It must have been in central Asia that they lived and further evolved to various types covering part of today's Asians and most of Europeans as well as some other races.
Very interestingly, the human beings with the "R" type of the mitochondria DNA evolved to the "U" type. And then, the unique "R6" type developed who eventually returned to Africa.
As for the Japanese race, it consists of various types of human beings in terms of the mitochondria DNA as indicated with bold red circles in the above figure.
So, to your surprise, basically there are various types of human beings among Japanese. Some are the most evolved from the common ancestors of mankind "L." Others are close to Caucasoids as they share the "R" type as the direct ancestors with most of Europeans.
In addition, the "D4" and "D5" types, accounting for 37.4% of the Japanese race, are considered to have been established 35,000 years or more before, while the "B" types, accounting for 13.3% of the Japanese race, 40,000 years ago in Southern China.
As for Neanderthals, I think they also evolved like non-Neanderthal human beings. They lived together with Caucasoids in Europe from about 45,000 years ago to 30,000 years ago. During this period, Neanderthals in Europe must have evolved to resemble Caucasoids then living in Europe.
So, I think that DNA of those Neanderthals came to change in parallel with Caucasoids. Eventually, some types of Neanderthals must have been absorbed by Caucasoids in Europe around 30,000 years ago.
What we think today to be very unique DNA and genes to Europeans must have been originated in evolved Neanderthals, at least, partially.
Finally, Judaists from Abraham to Jesus Christ must have belonged to the "N" type of human beings, since Sumerians looks like being situated there.

Many Japanese do not approve the way Prime Minister Mr. Kan extended his apology to Koreans regarding the annexation of Korea to the Empire of Japan before WWII.
Probably, those who do not praise the P.M. Mr. Kan's speech account for 60% among the Japanese.
Former P.M. Mr. Shinzo Abe said that Koreans would start to request more compensation from Japan.
However, it is not a matter of an amount of money. It is related to which were more foolish and evil leaders of the Empire of Japan or those of the Empire of Korea in the early 20th century.
As private persons, P.M. Mr. Kan, Chief Cabinet Secretary Mr. Sengoku, and Foreign Minister Mr. Okada should offer personal compensation to poor Koreans spending their own money before using the national budget and assets of Japan to show their friendship to Koreans.
Their omission of debate on this sort of apology in the National Assembly is truly folly.
Mr. Kan should have said, "Though our ancestors were not foolish and evil at all, the history has proved that the Empire should not have consulted Korean leaders at the time on the issue of the annexation in the early 20th century..."

They say that Chinese also like this Japanese song. Even some old Japanese might like this. The singer-song writer was born and raised in Osaka but not in Tokyo till the start of his professional career in 1971 or 1972.)
Gen 8:13 And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
Gen 8:14 And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
Gen 8:15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
Gen 8:16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

"shall be cast out into outer darkness"
Tokyo-Haneda International Airport on the Tokyo Bay
Obon Festival Season in Japan
Most of companies and businesses in Japan recommend their employees to take summer holidays over this week end. Some are already in their traditional (Buddhist) Obon holidays when people are expected to remember, and show respect for, deceased members of their family and ancestors.
It climaxes on August 15 when the WWII ended for Japan.
SECTION I: Recent News in Japan
1. Arrest of Former P.M.'s Son
The eldest son of former Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Yoshiro Mori, still a national lawmaker of the LDP, was arrested for violation of the Road Traffic Law in the home-town prefecture for the Moris.
Former Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Yoshiro Mori has been virtually the top senior leader of a faction of the LDP where four former prime ministers, namely Mr. Mori himself, Mr. Junichiro Koizumi, Mr. Shinzo Abe, and Mr. Yasuo Fukuda, belong.
This faction, called Seiwakai, of the Liberal Democratic Party was once in rivalry against a faction founded by former P.M. Kakuei Tanaka in 1970's. It is said that this faction finally took hold of the the LDP from the rival party by leveraging its tie with America during the reign of Prime Minister Mr. Koizumi in 2000's.
Seiwakai led by Mr. Mori was originally founded by former P.M. Takeo Fukuda, the father of former P.M. Mr. Yasuo Fukuda, in early 1960's, who was a successor of former P.M. Mr. Nobusuke Kishi, a counterpart of U.S. President Eisenhower. Takeo Fukuda competed with Kakuei Tanaka fiercely for premiership of Japan in early 1970's when Mr. Ichiro Ozawa was a member of the faction led by Tanaka.
Even today, while the LDP lost power due to the regime change last year, Seiwakai is a leading faction of the LDP, though the LDP, now an opposition party, is requested to change itself for regaining trust from voters.
2. Arrest of Former LDP Lawmaker
Former Lower-House member Mr. Koichi Hamada was arrested for a charge of breach of trust, involving 200 million yen or $2.5 million.
Mr. Koichi Hamada was an ex-gangster, according to his own remarks, but elected seven times as national lawmaker till his retirement in early 1990's. His son succeeded him as an LDP lawmaker. Since then, Mr. Koichi Hamada wrote best-sellers and became a kind of TV personality till recently. In the meantime, from outside the LDP, he took some actions to help the LDP occasionally, especially when the Koizumi Cabinet was pursuing postal reformation around 2005.
It is unknown how much the regime change since the last year and a subsequent expansion of influence of anti-Koizumi lawmakers (including Mr. Ichiro Ozawa) have an influence on very conservative Mr. Koichi Hamada.
Mr. Koichi Hamada was a friend of some financiers and other fixers involved in the Lockheed scandal and the arrest of former P.M. Kakuei Tanaka of 1970's, though Kakuei Tanaka helped Mr. Ozawa make his career in politics till Mr. Ozawa left the LDP as a spin-out in early 1990's.
3. Suicide Attempt by NHK Host
NHK is the only public broadcasting body in Japan.
It has a weekly political debate program to be broadcast nationwide on every Sunday morning. Top leaders and executives of the ruling DPJ, the ex-ruling party LDP, and other parties are usually invited for discussion in this program, since this program is regraded as the most influential or authentic among various TV programs on politics in Japan.
So, the host of the program is one of the elites and the best staff members of NHK. But, he tried to commit suicide yesterday, surprising all the parties concerned and audiences.
NHK elite Mr. Kageyama is said to have once criticized Mr. Ichiro Ozawa in the program, one of top leaders of the DPJ, so harshly. Lower-House maker Mr. Ozawa is now opposing P.M. Mr. Kan, though they closely cooperated for the regime change last year. But, as Mr. Kan has tied up with Mr. Yoshito Sengoku and other anti-Ozawa lawmakers, Mr. Ozawa reportedly got angry with P.M. Mr. Kan. But, as Mr. Ozawa is bothered now by a possible prosecution for his doubtful political fund handling, he will not be able to take a decisive action for the time being.
Therefore, a chance that Mr. Ozawa will take over from P.M. Mr. Kan through the party convention scheduled this September is not large. But, it is an unchanged fact that 40-years-long lawmaker Mr. Ichiro Ozawa has still a potential to change the whole political landscape in Japan, as he might leave the DPJ with 100 or more lawmakers subject to him so as to tie up with the LDP.
In the tense conditions, even a host of a TV debate program might feel pressed so much, especially, in a situation where an ex-prime minister or a kingmaker is faced with the worst crisis in his career, like the case of former Prime Minister Kakuei Tnaka.
(Mr. Kageyama of NHK finally died in a hospital today...)
SECTION II: Black, Golden, & White
It is well known that there are three major races among mankind.
The distinction between Negroids, Mongoloids, and Caucasoids is decided by a special blood feature: the Gm gene.
...../..../....Specific Gm genes included in Races..../.../.....
Negroids:.......(a, b1, b3); (a, b1, c); (a, b3, s)
Caucasoids:......(a, g); (a, x, g); (f, b1, b3)
South Mongoloids:.......(a, g); (a, x, g); (a, f, b1, b3)
North Mongoloids:.......(a, g); (a, x, g); (a, b3, s, t)
Caucasoids and Mongoloids shared some Gm genes: (a, g) and (a, x, g).
However, Negroids do not have these two genes.
Accordingly, after some group of mankind left Africa, they split into Caucasoids and Mongoloids.
Yet, Mongoloids split further into Southern Mongoloids and Northern Mongoloids.
Southern Mongoloids are closer to Caucasoids due to gene elements "f" and "b1" while Northern Mongoloids are more unique due to "t."
When analyzing peoples and tribes in the world based on the above Gm gene distribution, we get the following findings:
For example, the Iranians consist of Caucasoid traits in a ratio of 72.6%.
The Indians consist of Caucasoid traits in a ratio of 42.6%.
The Nepalese consist of Caucasoid traits in a ratio of 25.0%.
The Karen Burmese (Myanmarese) consist of Caucasoid traits in a ratio of 0%.
The Karen Burmese (Myanmarese) also consist of Southern Mongoloid traits in a ratio of 82.3%.
Yet, it is apparent that East Asians (Japanese, Mongolians, Koreans, Chinese, Siberians, and native Americans) belong to Northern Mongoloids and are very different from other races.
(http://www.geocities.jp/ikoh12/kennkyuuno_to/001_1Gmidennsi_1_1.html )
In addition, note that those who have stayed in Africa, namely Negroids, have differentiated among themselves as sub-evolution to the degree more than those who moved out to Europe, Asia, Australia, and Americas (before 1492) have differentiated among themselves in total.
Though Africans today have all the dark skin, they include far more various types of sub-races than observed in the rest of the world as a whole.
It means that one African can be more different from another African, except the color of skin, than a Swede is from a native American living on the Amazon.
Finally, Negroids do not have common genomes with Neanderthals. But, Caucasoids and Mongoloids have 1 to 4% of genomes, among all of their genomes, common to those of Neanderthals.
The Meta-Race X split to the Common Ancestors of Negroids and Caucasoids/Mongoloids and the Ancestors of Neanderthals who left Africa 400,000 years ago.
The Common Ancestors of Negroids and Caucasoids/Mongoloids split to the Ancestors of Negroids and the Ancestors of Caucasoids/Mongoloids 200,000 years ago.
Then Caucasoids/Mongoloids after having left Africa 100,000 or 85,000 years ago met with Neanderthals in Europe and the Middle East.
This theory is yet to be fully proved, though no blood of Neanderthal man can be obtained today. Yet, mankind apparently consists of extinct Neanderthals and today's live members of the species.

If the socialistic Kan Cabinet cannot take effective mesaures to lower unemployment in a year or so, it will face difficulty of gaining a sufficient approval rating.
In that case, a new temporary coalition Cabinet might be needed in an alliance with the DPJ and the LDP, till the next general election, so as to take drastic stimulus measures.
Then the new Cabinet and government will have to address a possible burst of the Chinese bubble.

Obon Festival Season in Japan
Most of companies and businesses in Japan recommend their employees to take summer holidays over this week end. Some are already in their traditional (Buddhist) Obon holidays when people are expected to remember, and show respect for, deceased members of their family and ancestors.

"There shall no sign be given unto this generation"
Haneda Operation Towers
The Tokyo Tower Viewed from the Haneda Airport over the Tokyo Bay
Forgotten Heroes
In 1950's, no philosophy was needed but energy to build or enjoy life again after WWII, while free countries and socialist countries started to compete almost on the same technological and industrial level.
In 1960's, the industrial and economic power of the free world came to surpass that of the socialist world, while old political paradigms, which easily led to abuse of war, in the free world caused hot frictions between generations and classes. So, some philosophy was radically wanted by youths in the free world, including Japan and America.
In 1970's, with the end of the Vietnam War and the success of the Apollo project, there were no more serious philosophical conflicts within the free world. The Cold War was only sustained by the huge nuclear war capability of the Soviet Union who lost in competition in industry and culture.
In 1980's, while Japan was consolidating its status as the second largest economy in the world, the free world entered an era where no philosophy was needed but economic expansion. However, with crude oil being needed more than ever for global industries, the Islamic world emerged as other element posing a religious challenge.
In 1990's, as the U.S. started to leverage its merit in computer and communications technologies, applying them to the financial sector, money started to replace philosophy and partly religions as a major key code for social behaviors of Europeans and Americans in large, and some Japanese as well as some rich people in the world including Islamic nations and China.
In 2000's, China started to leverage this world intellectual status, respecting money and neglecting or making little of philosophy and religions where a concept of freedom is essentially included.
Yet, in 2010, the No.2 politician in the Japanese Government or the Kan Cabinet, is behaving like it is still in 1950's or early 1960's when a school of modern philosophy of Japan was being cultivated and formulated by a certain genius...
SECTION I: A Hiroshima Victim - Masao Maruyama
There are many Japanese scholars, professors, critics, politicians, journalists, and bloggers who praise Masao Maruyama, since he was a kind of genius professor on politics and political philosophy in Japan after WWII.
---------------
Maruyama Masao (March 22, 1914 - August 15, 1996), was a leading Japanese political scientist and political theorist. His expertise lay in the history of Japanese political thought, to which he made major contributions.
In March 1945, Maruyama was drafted and stationed in the Army at Hiroshima. After experiencing the blast at Hiroshima and seeing out the end of the war there, he returned to his post at the university in September.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masao_Maruyama_(scholar)
---------------
One of great admirers of Maruyama is Mr. Yoshito Sengoku, Chief Cabinet Secretary of the Kan Cabinet.
Accordingly, many critics, conservative or liberal, who support the Democratic Party of Japan, Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan, or the most powerful DPJ lawmaker Mr. Ichiro Ozawa are also admirers of Masao Murayama.
Masao Murayama was arrested by special political police before WWII, since he was regarded as a dangerous Marxist student of an elite Imperial high school.
But, he entered the Imperial University of Tokyo to graduate and became an assistant professor of the Faculty of Law, the most elite faculty in the Empire of Japan, as he was supported by a very friendly professor of the Imperial University.
However, as WWII exhausted resources of the Empire, even Imperial students were drafted. However, it was unthinkable that any professors of the Faculty of Law of the Imperial Tokyo University was drafted as a soldier or even as an officer. Maruyama was the only exception.
In 1944, Maruyama at the age of 30 was sent to Pyongyang, since North Korea was then part of the Empire of Japan. Maruyama was treated very badly and violently by noncommissioned officers, since Maruyama was a buck private with higher status in the society and also semi-Marxist backgrounds. Yet, Maruyama refused to exercise a special privilege given to university graduates in the Imperial Army. If Maruyama had wished, he could have been soon promoted to a commissioned officer. But, he would not, in order to appeal that he was forced into the military service.
Maruyama got sick. He was sent to a hospital to be discharged eventually. But, in March 1945, he was drafted again to be sent to Hiroshima where he suffered the atomic bomb attack by the U.S. military on August 15, 1945. He, as a cipher-clerk buck private, was assigned to the headquarters of the ship management division of the Imperial Army situated at Ujina Town, 5 km from the Ground Zero of Hiroshima. Nonetheless, he was not injured badly and could work as usual after the atomic bomb attack.
(http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/mvbzx0147/19034155.html)
When WWII ended, Masao Maruyama returned to the University of Tokyo as professor of Law. He later became the most influential and respected scholar in politics and political philosophy in the Japanese society after WWII. That is why even Mr. Yoshito Sengoku, Chief Cabinet Secretary of the Kan Cabinet, has sometimes confessed that he always keeps books written by Masao Maruyama at hand. Indeed, Mr. Sengoku is regarded as more liberal and socialistic than P.M. Mr. Kan.
So, to understand P.M. Mr. Kan and the Kan Cabinet, it is important to understand Masao Maruyama, since Mr. Yoshito Sengoku, Chief Cabinet Secretary of the Kan Cabinet, has sometimes confessed that he always keeps books written by Masao Maruyama at hand, since lawmaker Mr. Yoshito Sengoku is also a lawyer graduated from the Faculty of Law, the University of Tokyo, where he was a student movement activist in late 1960's.
SECTION II: Modern Philosophy in Japan
Most of Americans who graduate from a college or a university do not know anything about modern philosophy in Japan.
There is long, wide, deep, and abundant traditions in modern study of philosophy in Japan since the Meiji Restoration of imperial authority and modernization of Japan. Since the late 19th century, many Japanese professors and students have studied European philosophy and developed Japanese modern philosophy.
Before the Meiji Restoration of imperial authority and modernization of Japan in the late 19th century, Japanese scholars in the samurai era had studied with enthusiasm Chinese philosophy and Buddhism, in addition to Japanese spiritualism, for 1000 years. But, after opening the door of Japan to the world in the late 19th century, many Japanese professors and students have studied European philosophy and developed Japanese modern philosophy.
Based on this unique modern intellectual framework, Japan could also develop science and technology. This is the most striking difference from other non-European nations. As most of Asian and African countries were simply forced to accept, or only accepted, Western philosophy, they could not develop their own philosophy which should have given an intellectual framework as in the case of Japan. Without such a basic and unique intellectual framework in a nation, no science and technology can be developed so as to compete with Europe and America.
Americans simply see Sony, Toyota, Honda, Panasonic, etc. But, they cannot see Masao Maruyama and tens of thousands philosophers and scholars in Japan who have provided in total an intellectual framework on which various Japanese industries and makers have been built since the late 19th century.
In this context, the recent economic success of China and Korea also tells how much both the countries have been influenced by, and learnt, the Japanese modern philosophy, including that cultivated by Masao Maruyama.
Ancient Chinese philosophy, such as Confucianism, and Buddhism cannot make China and Korea to catch up with Europe and America in terms of technology.
They have been requested to learn Japanese modern philosophy.
So, to a surprise of American and European intellectual elites, the economic success in East Asia owes much to a higher level of the modern philosophy developed and studied by modern Japanese scholars since the late 19th century.
*** *** *** ***
Masao Maruyama befriended then Prime Minister Takeo Miki.
P.M. Miki issued approval for the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office to arrest former P.M. Kakuei Tanaka in connection to the Lockheed scandal in 1976.
As Kakuei Tnaka had various and huge sources for his political funds, he actually controlled 100 and more national lawmakers of Japan. He bought loyalty from hundreds of other Diet members, elite bureaucrats, and journalists by money.
So, it was a big surprise to the Japanese public. People thought some powerful Americans, such as Mr. Henry Kissinger, must have been behind P.M. Miki, since Tanaka took diplomatic policies as if competing with America in terms of China, Russia, and energy issues.
However, it was clear that behind then Prime Minister Takeo Miki there was philosophy cultivated by Masao Maruyama, though such an academic way of thinking is one of intellectual products ex-Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka most abhorred, since Tanaka had no backgrounds of higher education (so that he was very popular among ordinary voters).
In this context, I praise Masao Maruyama.
But, I think Professor Maruyama should have worked among poor workers in a small factory in a local town somewhere in Japan so as to enhance his philosophy as high as possible, though he had an experience of serving the nation as a mere soldier of the Imperial Army in Hiroshima in the summer of 1945.
That is why I do not praise Masao Maruyama in a comprehensive manner.
The world can be returned to its 1930's or 1940's by the God at any time, since He is Almighty.

Mar 8:13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

He later became the most influential and respected scholar in politics and political philosophy in the Japanese society after WWII. That is why even Mr. Yoshito Sengoku, Chief Cabinet Secretary of the Kan Cabinet, has sometimes confessed that he always keeps books written by Masao Maruyama at hand. Indeed, Mr. Sengoku is regarded as more liberal and socialistic than P.M. Mr. Kan.
So, to understand P.M. Mr. Kan and the Kan Cabinet, it is important to understand Masao Maruyama, since Mr. Yoshito Sengoku, Chief Cabinet Secretary of the Kan Cabinet, has sometimes confessed that he always keeps books written by Masao Maruyama at hand, since lawmaker Mr. Yoshito Sengoku is also a lawyer graduated from the Faculty of Law, the University of Tokyo, where he was a student movement activist in late 1960's.
SECTION II: Modern Philosophy in Japan
Most of Americans who graduate from a college or a university do not know anything about modern philosophy in Japan.
There is long, wide, deep, and abundant traditions in modern study of philosophy in Japan since the Meiji Restoration of imperial authority and modernization of Japan. Since the late 19th century, many Japanese professors and students have studied European philosophy and developed Japanese modern philosophy.
Before the Meiji Restoration of imperial authority and modernization of Japan in the late 19th century, Japanese scholars in the samurai era had studied with enthusiasm Chinese philosophy and Buddhism, in addition to Japanese spiritualism, for 1000 years. But, after opening the door of Japan to the world in the late 19th century, many Japanese professors and students have studied European philosophy and developed Japanese modern philosophy.
Based on this unique modern intellectual framework, Japan could also develop science and technology. This is the most striking difference from other non-European nations. As most of Asian and African countries were simply forced to accept, or only accepted, Western philosophy, they could not develop their own philosophy which should have given an intellectual framework as in the case of Japan. Without such a basic and unique intellectual framework in a nation, no science and technology can be developed so as to compete with Europe and America.
Americans simply see Sony, Toyota, Honda, Panasonic, etc. But, they cannot see Masao Maruyama and tens of thousands philosophers and scholars in Japan who have provided in total an intellectual framework on which various Japanese industries and makers have been built since the late 19th century.
In this context, the recent economic success of China and Korea also tells how much both the countries have been influenced by, and learnt, the Japanese modern philosophy, including that cultivated by Masao Maruyama.
Ancient Chinese philosophy, such as Confucianism, and Buddhism cannot make China and Korea to catch up with Europe and America in terms of technology.
They have been requested to learn Japanese modern philosophy.
So, to a surprise of American and European intellectual elites, the economic success in East Asia owes much to a higher level of the modern philosophy developed and studied by modern Japanese scholars since the late 19th century.

Masao Maruyama befriended then Prime Minister Takeo Miki.
P.M. Miki issued approval for the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office to arrest former P.M. Kakuei Tanaka in connection to the Lockheed scandal in 1976.
As Kakuei Tnaka had various and huge sources for his political funds, he actually controlled 100 and more national lawmakers of Japan. He bought loyalty from hundreds of other Diet members, elite bureaucrats, and journalists by money.
So, it was a big surprise to the Japanese public. People thought some powerful Americans, such as Mr. Henry Kissinger, must have been behind P.M. Miki, since Tanaka took diplomatic policies as if competing with America in terms of China, Russia, and energy issues.
However, it was clear that behind then Prime Minister Takeo Miki there was philosophy cultivated by Masao Maruyama, though such an academic way of thinking is one of intellectual products ex-Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka most abhorred, since Tanaka had no backgrounds of higher education (so that he was very popular among ordinary voters).
In this context, I praise Masao Maruyama.
But, I think Professor Maruyama should have worked among poor workers in a small factory in a local town somewhere in Japan so as to enhance his philosophy as high as possible, though he had an experience of serving the nation as a mere soldier of the Imperial Army in Hiroshima in the summer of 1945.
That is why I do not praise Masao Maruyama in a comprehensive manner.
The world can be returned to its 1930's or 1940's by the God at any time, since He is Almighty.

SECTION I: In 1985 around Tokyo 520 Citizens Victimized
Indeed, 25 years ago, I was living near one of the hottest cities in the summer of Japan which is situated in the middle of the Kanto Plain that holds Tokyo City on its southern end.
One day, I looked up at the sky, since there flying was a gray, big jet plane, 27,000 feet high just over the apartment house I lived in. I had never realized there was an air route above the humble apartment house I lived in. So, the big jet plane was very impressive, silently flying.
Then, at night, they reported on TV that a jet plane was missing since it had departed from the Haneda Airport at dusk, with 509 passengers on board...

Yet, the year 1985 for most of the Japanese people is still remembered for the greatest single airplane accident in the human history, "Japan Airlines Flight 123," though since 1985 no one was killed in passenger-plane accidents in Japan.
----------
Japan Airlines Flight 123 was a Japan Airlines domestic flight from Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) to Osaka International Airport (Itami) on August 12, 1985. The Boeing 747-SR46 that made this route, registered JA8119, suffered mechanical failures 12 minutes into the flight and 32 minutes later crashed into two ridges of Mount Takamagahara in Ueno, Gunma Prefecture, 100 kilometers from Tokyo, on Monday 12 August 1985. The crash site was on Osutaka Ridge (******, Osutaka-no-One?), near Mount Osutaka. All 15 crew members and 505 out of 509 passengers died, resulting in a total of 520 deaths and 4 survivors.

Truly, when looking back now, the world of 1985 looked very unusual, though people were living like in any normal year in Japan and the U.S. under the Cold War and the Japanese economic expansion in the world.
But, if looked back to, this year 2010 will look very unusual with so many victims due to earthquakes (including the one in Haiti), floods (in China and Pakistan), heat waves, and forest fires (in Russia), though people are living like any normal year in Japan and the U.S. despite the actual regime changes in 2009 in both the countries.
SECTION II: In 1985 around Tokyo I was Not Crashed
Around 1985, you had primitive personal computers but no cellular phones, though Intel processor chips were used in the so-called micro-computer/controller systems.
It was an era of the shift from large-size mainframe computers to middle-sized mini-computers/office-computers. In terms of architecture, it is an era of the paradigm shift from central processing of data and commands in a single, large computer to a distributed processing system linking several mini-computers.
Fujitsu has almost caught up with U.S. IBM in development of mainframes. But, in the mini-computer market, U.S. DEC had a dominant share in Japan. Other Japanese electronic manufacturers, such as Hitachi, NEC, Toshiba, Oki, Matsushita, etc., have been also providing their brands or allied brands of computer systems in various sizes.
Around 1985, Japanese economy expanded so much as symbolized by these manufacturers, including IBM Japan. Expo '85, a World's Fair, held in Tsukuba, Japan, was a place to introduce the advanced material technology, semiconductor technology, electronics, mechatronics, robotics, bio-technology, etc. of Japan, since Japan really caught up with America in terms of these advanced technology. Even Japanese-OS PCs showed equal performance to American PCs running Microsoft BASIC.
While the Soviet war in Afghanistan entered the sixth year and the Iran–Iraq War entered the fifth year, Japan was concentrating in technological development and economic expansion to the global market.
So, Japanese office workers of leading companies were busy flying between Tokyo and Osaka, since Osaka is the economic center of western Japan. So, on August 12, 1985, at dusk, 509 passengers were about to fly from Tokyo (Haneda) to Osaka on board the Boeing 747-SR46.
If you worked in a certain department or a unit of a certain company, you might have to make a business trip with some other colleagues, taking the same flight.
In this way, many office workers of first-rate companies in Tokyo and Osaka were killed in the 1985 accident of Japan Airlines Flight 123, while the Japanese people were enjoying life getting so rich and confidence getting so strong in the society further industrialized.
What's more, the death of the famous singer, Kyu Sakamoto, in the accident was a great shock to ordinary people, as he had achieved the American hit-chart No.1 with the "Sukiyaki" song in early 1960's. Truly a boom of youth ended for many Japanese with this tragedy.
(However, among miracle survivors, there was a girl from a city famous for a great Shinto shrine, suggesting something so divine to some Japanese.)
In this way, I was not included in the victims of ultimate sacrifice for the era, though I might have been at Haneda at dusk of August 12, 1985.
The next shock the Japanese people experienced in grave alarm was historically slated to come in 1995.

"He that hath ears to hear, let him hear"
The Tokyo Tree Tower Observed from The Tokyo Haneda Airport
The Tokyo Tower/The Tokyo Tree Tower Observed from The Tokyo Haneda Airport(Yesterday on the Tokyo Bay)
Fools Can Insult Saints namely Poor Men
No matter how rich a Japanese man is, he will not, in most cases, insult a poor Japanese in public in Japan.
But, a rich European does not mind, in most cases, insulting a poor Japanese in public in Japan.
Applying a moral and religious code of Japan, such a rich European is an enemy of the culture, tradition, and history of Japan.
But, there is a more smart type of Europeans, such as a Vatican priest who does not first try to become a Japanese citizen and sever a tie with the Vatican but keeps their Vatican identity proudly while preaching Gospels and living in Japan even till their death.
That is why the EEE Reporter is Japanese in order to serve the God of Europeans who do not mind, in most cases, insulting a poor Japanese in public, foolishly even in Japan.
If the British think they are not included in Europeans in this context, it is a big mistake, since Princess Diana died in Paris in 1997.
SECTION I: A Japanese Comic Artist
Late Osamu Tezuka created many titles all through his career as the king of Japanese comic artists after WWII.
He even depicted stories of the Old Testament and the Buddha, since he graduated from the No.1 high school of Osaka to get into the faculty of medicine of the Osaka University and eventually become a medical doctor and a Doctor of Medicine.
But, as Tezuka was a talented person, he did not practice medicine. He came to Tokyo and succeeded as the king of Japanese comic artists after WWII.
(Nowadays, medical doctors with less ability in medicine tried to be a politician, while Japan needs more medical doctors. They are two-level lower than Osamu Tezuka.)
Apart from Tezuka, I didn't know other Japanese comic artists who took the Buddha as a theme of their work.
But, there is one.
http://yokido.cocolog-nifty.com/today/2006/03/post_de86.html
The four-frame cartoon introduced in the above blog can be translated as follows:
1) A pig thinks:"I will be free from pain, agony, and depression by deleting my desire through ascetic training!"
2) The pig shouts in the mind: "I wanna be free from pain, free from pain, free from paaaaain!"
A voice-over: "This one does not understand that he still has a desire to be free from pain."
3) The pig murmurs being exhausted: "How can I be free from pain?"
4) The pig suddenly feels no pain: "I now feel no pain as I have given up being free from pain through hard efforts, since it is nothing. I do not mind pain any more. Then I am free from pain."
The comic artist, namely Mr. Yoshihiro Kozumi, writes also:
"When I was a child, I asked help from my mother whenever I was in trouble.
I felt that Mother could help and protect me like a god almighty.
But, since I found that my mother was just a pig, I started to find other god as a quid pro quo for her.
Yet, there was no such a thing: a god almighty.
I could not be awaken so long as I was looking for something to rely on!"
(http://buta.exjw2.org/budda.htm)
Of course, as the God is so Almighty, He could utilize this sort of armature philosopher living as a cartoonist in Japan.
Now, have you learnt anything from this SECTION?
SECTION II: The Sign of the Era
Last year, two big natural gas fields were discovered by an American energy company off Palestine or Israel.
The gas fields are estimated to be able to provide energy sources that match all the needs in Israel for 20 to 40 years.
But, these underwater gas fields look like extending to the sea territory of Lebanon. They can be a chance for mutual economic growth or a source of a new war between Lebanon and Israel.
--------------------
Next war may be over natural gas
By Bassem Mroue
Friday, 07.30.2010, 03:30am
BEIRUT — The discovery of large natural-gas reserves under the eastern Mediterranean could potentially mean a huge economic windfall for Israel and Lebanon, both resource-poor nations — if it doesn't spark new war between them.
When Tamar begins producing it could lower Israel's energy costs by $1 billion a year and bring $400 million a year in royalties into government coffers. That suggests a total of about $40 billion in savings and $16 billion in government revenues over the total yield of the field.
http://www.arabamericannews.com/news/index.php?mod=article&cat=ArabWorld&article=3253
--------------------
This must be the last chance that Israelis could satisfy the God, so that they are given holy assurance to live in Palestine forever.
If Israelis should not share wealth these gas fields would produce with Islamic neighbors, the God might, I am afraid, judge Israelis and force them all to evacuate Palestine, leaving for America.
Indeed, the conditions of "rich Europe vs. the poor Islamic world" have been reinforced by Judaists joining Christian Europe, despite the tragedy caused by Nazi Germany.
Before rich Europeans are judged by the God, Israelis might be judged.
The last test for Israelis can be these underwater natural gas fields.
SECTION III: Anti-Whaling but Not Anti-American Military Japanese
There are some Japanese who look like a kind of opinion leaders in Japan while they are supporting Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd and the like.
Some American/European media and even Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd like to praise those Japanese. They seem to love to share hate against Japan, Japanese traditions, and the Japanese race.
But, most of them are linked with the Social Democratic Party of Japan, whose popularity rating is less than 2%, and other socialistic movement that in most cases support North Korea, since those radically liberal Japanese are against Japanese nationalism and capitalism. They think North Korea today is still a victim of Japanese nationalism and militarism.
But, as those anti-whaling Japanese are anti-Japanese nationalism, some anti-Japanese American/European media and even Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd like to praise those Japanese. It is very stupid, since such American/European media and even Greenpeace are supported by Wall Street and Anglo-Saxon capitalists who are basically enemies of North Korea, the Social Democratic Party of Japan, and those anti-whaling Japanese.
It is a lack of intelligence on both the sides that have enabled such a stupid alliance.
Wall Street, Anglo-Saxon capitalists, and anti-whaling Greenpeace do not like Japanese nationalists. Those socialistic, anti-whaling, and North-Korea supporting Japanese do not like Japanese nationalists. So, as they are not so intelligent, they mistake each other as a friend.
And, as those socialistic, anti-whaling Japanese are so anti-nationalism that they cannot understand merit, virtue, and value of the Japanese culture. They might pass the bar exam, but they lack commonsense. Accordingly, they cannot be opinion leaders at all in Japan; they are like anti-Israeli and thus anti-Judaism Wall Street lawyers nobody regard as an opinion leader of America.
For example, such immature anti-whaling Japanese think that Japanese people in general believed that a holy wind (kamikaze) would surely blow when Japan faced a crisis like WWII. The Japanese people even before WWII had received modern education; nobody believed such a myth and superstition. (Japanese people were so modern as to build the second powerful Navy based on the latest technology of the era before WWII.)
Situations that led to WWII are more complicated than those immature anti-whaling Japanese think today. They do not even know Taisho democracy. The situation of WWII in Japan was very exceptional, since Japanese traditions and culture existed very effectively and worked so well to every Japanese. As they cannot understand how value and merit of traditions and culture work, they think that the Japanese people were controlled by crazy cold-blood leaders like fools or cowards. Japanese people till 1945 had been working hard, competing with American and European powers so bravely and wisely in every field unlike Chinese and Koreans. Yet, they cannot even criticize North Korean leaders. The issue is how cruelly Europe, the Soviet Union, and the U.S. made war against the Empire of Japan, and how badly China was determined to continue war with the Empire of Japan since their launching of an all-out attack onto Shanghai defended by the Imperial Marines in 1930's (though Imperial Army should not have driven them back as far as Nanjing).
If those anti-whaling Japanese do not blame the American media and Greenpeace, those Japanese are truly foolish, since the American media and Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd do not blame America for the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
(http://blog.livedoor.jp/patriotism_japan/archives/51681687.html)
Those anti-whaling Japanese do not have right scientific knowledge, either.
Australians who shoot and kill yearly three million kangaroos have no right to claim that they are paying respect to the nature by harassing Japanese humble whaling. What's more, it is believed scientifically that there are one million mink whales in the oceans.
(http://blog.kajika.net/?eid=997040)
So, those anti-whaling Japanese are not respected by the general public of Japan. The popularity rating to the Social Democratic Party of Japan linked with those liberal anti-whaling/anti-nationalism Japanese is just less than 2%.
Therefore, the American/European media, Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd, and anti-Japanese groups have really lost respect from 98% of the Japanese people, when those anti-socialism American and European people praise those liberal anti-whaling/anti-nationalism Japanese.
To make sure, those liberal anti-whaling/anti-nationalism Japanese are immature in that they have not learnt well Japanese traditions, culture, history, and reality. They just hate conservative Japanese. They just hate conservative Japanese politicians. They hate Japanese capitalism. They hate Japanese industries, because they think Japanese industries are an enemy of Japanese laborers (but no labor unions in Japan think so).
But, Wall Street, Wall-Street-backed Western media, and Wall-Street-backed anti-Japanese movement such as Greenpeace are more capitalistic and more enemies to Japanese laborers.
Yet, this mutual misunderstanding is very dangerous and an obstructive factor for sound mutual prosperity and peace between Japan and America/Europe.
And, their stupid alliance with anti-Japanese foreign movement is against the Japanese interest, though Japan has no law to ban it, such as North Korea and China.
Those liberal anti-whaling/anti-nationalism Japanese must be engaged in anti-American military movement, since Afghan people are more important than whales.
Note: Japanese nationalism itself is not evil. Some Japanese nationalists are truly too radical to be supported by a majority of the Japanese, if they do not betray Japan.

But, there is a more smart type of Europeans, such as a Vatican priest who does not first try to become a Japanese citizen and sever a tie with the Vatican but keeps their Vatican identity proudly while preaching Gospels and living in Japan even till their death.
That is why the EEE Reporter is Japanese in order to serve the God of Europeans who do not mind, in most cases, insulting a poor Japanese in public, foolishly even in Japan.
If the British think they are not included in Europeans in this context, it is a big mistake, since Princess Diana died in Paris in 1997.
SECTION I: A Japanese Comic Artist
Late Osamu Tezuka created many titles all through his career as the king of Japanese comic artists after WWII.
He even depicted stories of the Old Testament and the Buddha, since he graduated from the No.1 high school of Osaka to get into the faculty of medicine of the Osaka University and eventually become a medical doctor and a Doctor of Medicine.
But, as Tezuka was a talented person, he did not practice medicine. He came to Tokyo and succeeded as the king of Japanese comic artists after WWII.
(Nowadays, medical doctors with less ability in medicine tried to be a politician, while Japan needs more medical doctors. They are two-level lower than Osamu Tezuka.)
Apart from Tezuka, I didn't know other Japanese comic artists who took the Buddha as a theme of their work.
But, there is one.

The four-frame cartoon introduced in the above blog can be translated as follows:
1) A pig thinks:"I will be free from pain, agony, and depression by deleting my desire through ascetic training!"
2) The pig shouts in the mind: "I wanna be free from pain, free from pain, free from paaaaain!"
A voice-over: "This one does not understand that he still has a desire to be free from pain."
3) The pig murmurs being exhausted: "How can I be free from pain?"
4) The pig suddenly feels no pain: "I now feel no pain as I have given up being free from pain through hard efforts, since it is nothing. I do not mind pain any more. Then I am free from pain."
The comic artist, namely Mr. Yoshihiro Kozumi, writes also:
"When I was a child, I asked help from my mother whenever I was in trouble.
I felt that Mother could help and protect me like a god almighty.
But, since I found that my mother was just a pig, I started to find other god as a quid pro quo for her.
Yet, there was no such a thing: a god almighty.
I could not be awaken so long as I was looking for something to rely on!"

Of course, as the God is so Almighty, He could utilize this sort of armature philosopher living as a cartoonist in Japan.
Now, have you learnt anything from this SECTION?
SECTION II: The Sign of the Era
Last year, two big natural gas fields were discovered by an American energy company off Palestine or Israel.
The gas fields are estimated to be able to provide energy sources that match all the needs in Israel for 20 to 40 years.
But, these underwater gas fields look like extending to the sea territory of Lebanon. They can be a chance for mutual economic growth or a source of a new war between Lebanon and Israel.

Next war may be over natural gas

BEIRUT — The discovery of large natural-gas reserves under the eastern Mediterranean could potentially mean a huge economic windfall for Israel and Lebanon, both resource-poor nations — if it doesn't spark new war between them.
When Tamar begins producing it could lower Israel's energy costs by $1 billion a year and bring $400 million a year in royalties into government coffers. That suggests a total of about $40 billion in savings and $16 billion in government revenues over the total yield of the field.

--------------------
This must be the last chance that Israelis could satisfy the God, so that they are given holy assurance to live in Palestine forever.
If Israelis should not share wealth these gas fields would produce with Islamic neighbors, the God might, I am afraid, judge Israelis and force them all to evacuate Palestine, leaving for America.
Indeed, the conditions of "rich Europe vs. the poor Islamic world" have been reinforced by Judaists joining Christian Europe, despite the tragedy caused by Nazi Germany.
Before rich Europeans are judged by the God, Israelis might be judged.
The last test for Israelis can be these underwater natural gas fields.
SECTION III: Anti-Whaling but Not Anti-American Military Japanese
There are some Japanese who look like a kind of opinion leaders in Japan while they are supporting Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd and the like.
Some American/European media and even Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd like to praise those Japanese. They seem to love to share hate against Japan, Japanese traditions, and the Japanese race.
But, most of them are linked with the Social Democratic Party of Japan, whose popularity rating is less than 2%, and other socialistic movement that in most cases support North Korea, since those radically liberal Japanese are against Japanese nationalism and capitalism. They think North Korea today is still a victim of Japanese nationalism and militarism.
But, as those anti-whaling Japanese are anti-Japanese nationalism, some anti-Japanese American/European media and even Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd like to praise those Japanese. It is very stupid, since such American/European media and even Greenpeace are supported by Wall Street and Anglo-Saxon capitalists who are basically enemies of North Korea, the Social Democratic Party of Japan, and those anti-whaling Japanese.
It is a lack of intelligence on both the sides that have enabled such a stupid alliance.
Wall Street, Anglo-Saxon capitalists, and anti-whaling Greenpeace do not like Japanese nationalists. Those socialistic, anti-whaling, and North-Korea supporting Japanese do not like Japanese nationalists. So, as they are not so intelligent, they mistake each other as a friend.
And, as those socialistic, anti-whaling Japanese are so anti-nationalism that they cannot understand merit, virtue, and value of the Japanese culture. They might pass the bar exam, but they lack commonsense. Accordingly, they cannot be opinion leaders at all in Japan; they are like anti-Israeli and thus anti-Judaism Wall Street lawyers nobody regard as an opinion leader of America.
For example, such immature anti-whaling Japanese think that Japanese people in general believed that a holy wind (kamikaze) would surely blow when Japan faced a crisis like WWII. The Japanese people even before WWII had received modern education; nobody believed such a myth and superstition. (Japanese people were so modern as to build the second powerful Navy based on the latest technology of the era before WWII.)
Situations that led to WWII are more complicated than those immature anti-whaling Japanese think today. They do not even know Taisho democracy. The situation of WWII in Japan was very exceptional, since Japanese traditions and culture existed very effectively and worked so well to every Japanese. As they cannot understand how value and merit of traditions and culture work, they think that the Japanese people were controlled by crazy cold-blood leaders like fools or cowards. Japanese people till 1945 had been working hard, competing with American and European powers so bravely and wisely in every field unlike Chinese and Koreans. Yet, they cannot even criticize North Korean leaders. The issue is how cruelly Europe, the Soviet Union, and the U.S. made war against the Empire of Japan, and how badly China was determined to continue war with the Empire of Japan since their launching of an all-out attack onto Shanghai defended by the Imperial Marines in 1930's (though Imperial Army should not have driven them back as far as Nanjing).
If those anti-whaling Japanese do not blame the American media and Greenpeace, those Japanese are truly foolish, since the American media and Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd do not blame America for the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
(http://blog.livedoor.jp/patriotism_japan/archives/51681687.html)
Those anti-whaling Japanese do not have right scientific knowledge, either.
Australians who shoot and kill yearly three million kangaroos have no right to claim that they are paying respect to the nature by harassing Japanese humble whaling. What's more, it is believed scientifically that there are one million mink whales in the oceans.
(http://blog.kajika.net/?eid=997040)
So, those anti-whaling Japanese are not respected by the general public of Japan. The popularity rating to the Social Democratic Party of Japan linked with those liberal anti-whaling/anti-nationalism Japanese is just less than 2%.
Therefore, the American/European media, Greenpeace/Sea Shepherd, and anti-Japanese groups have really lost respect from 98% of the Japanese people, when those anti-socialism American and European people praise those liberal anti-whaling/anti-nationalism Japanese.
To make sure, those liberal anti-whaling/anti-nationalism Japanese are immature in that they have not learnt well Japanese traditions, culture, history, and reality. They just hate conservative Japanese. They just hate conservative Japanese politicians. They hate Japanese capitalism. They hate Japanese industries, because they think Japanese industries are an enemy of Japanese laborers (but no labor unions in Japan think so).
But, Wall Street, Wall-Street-backed Western media, and Wall-Street-backed anti-Japanese movement such as Greenpeace are more capitalistic and more enemies to Japanese laborers.
Yet, this mutual misunderstanding is very dangerous and an obstructive factor for sound mutual prosperity and peace between Japan and America/Europe.
And, their stupid alliance with anti-Japanese foreign movement is against the Japanese interest, though Japan has no law to ban it, such as North Korea and China.
Those liberal anti-whaling/anti-nationalism Japanese must be engaged in anti-American military movement, since Afghan people are more important than whales.
Note: Japanese nationalism itself is not evil. Some Japanese nationalists are truly too radical to be supported by a majority of the Japanese, if they do not betray Japan.

There was a girl who did not look so different from others.
But, she looked so for some others, good or bad, rather.
But, she did not look so different from others to me at all.
Indeed, she did not dye her hair blond, after all.
[Be a saint rather than a successor to a culture!])
Luk 8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
Luk 8:6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
Luk 8:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
Luk 8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

(The Tokyo-Haneda Airport on the Tokyo Bay; Just arrived from Paris, spending 2,541,800 yen for a double fair on a first-class seat?; Tokyo is not for Parisians whether or not sadly poor or stupidly rich.)
Men and women do not live in order to live for 100 years or more.
There are no fools in this world who do not know how wonderful it is to enjoy rich life.
But, fools cannot understand how sinful it is to be rich, neglecting poor people without helping them become rich.
So, wise men have come to be afraid of enjoying rich life, since it is sinful, neglecting poor people without helping them become rich.
And, if you do not know that the God orders you to save and help poor people spending your money and sacrificing your money, you are not wise or learned people at all.
There are no fools in this world who do not know how wonderful it is to enjoy rich life.
But, most of people I met in Tokyo are fools who think I am a fool as I do not try to make big money to enjoy rich life.
If they are ordinary corporate employees, they can be such fools somewhat naturally.
But, almost all the Christian priests I met thought they were cleverer than I and I was more foolish than they, since they thought they were educated better than I and they had more knowledge than I in anything. I really had compassion on their low level of intelligence. But, as the God told me to be humble to those fools, I respected their humanity, self-pride, and self-confidence, which they could not realize.
(But, none of them could see that I could speak and write English better than they even before I had met them: those corporate employees and Christian priests in Tokyo, living for money or just to live longer.
And, they did not even know that I could take pictures better than professional cameramen in a company.)
Yet, one of ten people in Tokyo could really understand what game I was engaged in.
"Mr, why do you do such a minor job now subject to such a foolish boss?"
"Mr, they help me somewhat in the church, though you criticize them..."
