1995 and 1945 (1995 et 1945)
This is the summer of America's rating crisis.
This is the summer of Japan's nuclear and political crises.

SECTION I: Before and After Windows 95
Here, we review the total (public and private) U.S. debt in terms of its ratio over its GDP.
Debt and liability incurred by the Great Depression was finally cleared in 1952, after WWII, when the post-war economic boom started in the U.S.
Then, through the electric appliance boom in 1950's and the Apollo project boom in 1960's, the technological development in the U.S. progressed at a good rate, from the vacuum tube age to the semiconductor age.
In the middle of 1980's, computer technologies expanded with application of advanced semiconductor chips which enabled production of Apple's PCs and introduction of early versions of Windows OS. Subsequently, computer transactions relying on incomplete computer software in Wall Street caused the so-called Black Monday, symbolizing a great increase in data and processes used in online financial transactions. Accordingly, quantity of monetary data shot up so sharply. In this trend, the amount of U.S. public debts also climbed to one level higher. Then they came to wait for other technological innovation to apply to the monetary market.
When the number of the Internet users increased from millions to ten millions and hundred millions, the multitude of economic activities was sky-rocketed. Money being calculated, multiplied, leveraged and circulated got two to three digits larger. So did credit and debt. Accordingly the balance point was raised so high. Viewed from the debt side, the total (public and private) U.S. debt against the U.S. GDP started to approach 400%.
The popular product that represents the era around 1997 was an operating system for a PC, Windows 95. For the first time, consumers obtained a means to use the cyber space from their own house or desk in office. Accordingly, virtually every consumer started to connect to computer systems in Wall Street companies to buy and sell a big amount of dollars he or she could not without this technology.
SECTION II: Spies in 1945
Diplomats of the Empire of Japan stationed in Spain recruited a certain notable spy, a Judaistic Spaniard named Velasco, during the Second World War.
Receiving big money from the Japanese-counselor to Spain, Velasco organized a large-scale spy network covering Washington DC, New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego as well as Latin America and Spain. The organization is called "TO" by the Japanese elite in Tokyo. The headquarters was set in Madrid with six key members. Information they collected was transmitted to Tokyo by radio, though it was intercepted by the American military intelligence service.
The most important information the TO organization obtained was about an American secret project of building atomic bombs. In their operation to get this information, one spy of TO was shot to death by FBI in Las Vegas. Yet, this big secret information was radioed to the capital of the Empire of Japan. Then what happened?
The Japanese elite and generals in Tokyo did not pay attention to information Velasco sent from Madrid. Though the Imperial Japanese Government spent big money for the TO operation, they did not seriously check secret reports from Madrid. Yet, the Imperial military launched its effort to produce a Japanese version of atomic bombs, digging uranium in Fukushima Prefecture and mobilizing top scientists, such as Hideki Yukawa who was honored with Nobel Prize after WWII. But, they did not alarm the Japanese people about a possible atomic-bomb attack by Americans.
So, when the U.S. military dropped atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in early August of 1945, the Japanese leaders quickly understood the meaning of the huge destruction.
Incidentally, the spy Velasco was not a simple spy:
Escape from the Bunker by Harry Cooper
...
In 1984, Harry Cooper, a former Naval Reserve officer and the found of Sharkhunters, received a letter from one of the many surviving WWII members of the organization. The man, appearing as Don Angel Alcazar de Velasco, said he was a Spaniard and that he had worked for Japanese and German intelligence. He made more astounding claims, the most amazing of which was that it was he who smuggled top Nazi Martin Bormann out of Berlin via U-Boat to South America...
He claimed he was a Spaniard and that his name was Don Angel Alcazar de Velasco. He claimed he smuggled Hitler's second, Martin Bormann, out of the Berlin bunker and smuggled him to South America. He claimed that in 1953 he met a man who those around him called 'the Fuhrer.' The man bore an uncanny likeness to an aging Adolf Hitler. Don Angel said he had heard that Hitler escaped Berlin as well, drugged and whisked away by those in his inner circle.
The 'dead Hitler' was nothing more than a double.
The claims were so fantastic - but so fascinating - I checked him out through the man surviving WWII contacts I still have who are members of Sharkhunters. He was who he said he was...

Appendix 1. Purple, An Encryption System Used by The Empire of Japan during WWII
The Imperial elite of Japan during WWII did not ever believe that their coding system, the 97-shiki obun inji-ki or Purple, could be ever broken.
The Japanese coding system was more unique than German Enigma. Besides, the Japanese written language was not easy. Americans and the English must not have been able to decode Purple texts. But, they actually did. It is partly because they stole part of a coding book for Purple from a Japanese diplomatic office in America, partly because Japanese used an old encryption system, called Red, in parallel with Purple, partly because Japanese did not take any precautions to further enhance secrecy of the system in its operation, and partly because some talented American scientist discovered that the Purple system applied a telephone switching system unlike any other coding systems in the world.
Arrogance of the Imperial Japanese elite made this cryptography system fail while some Japanese experts pointed to weak points of Purple, for example, using different methods to two groups of alphabets, one group with 6 letters and another 20, following a similar method used in Red.
Japan's PURPLE Encryption:
The Japanese were most efficient at destroying their cryptographic machines during World War II. To this date, not even one complete machine has been discovered. However, with pure genius and ingenuity, cryptographers from the United States were able to crack the PURPLE, as it was called.
In 1940, the British, Polish, and French were working hard on cracking the German Enigma (and for the most part, succeeding). Meanwhile, the US Signals Intelligence Service (SIS) worked on Japan's code machine. What made cracking the PURPLE more difficult than the enigma was that it used a revolutionary concept in machine cryptography.
In fact, PURPLE used telephone stepping switches instead of rotors in its encryption scheme. A stepping switch was used in those days to route telephone calls from source to destination. By utilizing this, the encrypted letters did not follow patterns that codebreakers were accustomed to with traditional rotor machines.
So, William Friedman, a renowned cryptographer, was curious about what could make these patterns? Eventually, he and his team were able to put together a version of the PURPLE machine almost exactly the same as the Japanese version. However, Friedman did so without ever seeing a picture or blueprint of the machine; he only saw messages encrypted with it!
So, knowing how the machine worked, the United States was able to build a machine to crack the code of PURPLE. It figured out the code used to encrypt messages, thus allowing for plaintext viewing by the user. As a result of Friedman's work, allied lives were saved, and battles were won, helping to bring the war to a close as quickly as possible.
The following picture is the only part of a real Japanese PURPLE machine to have ever been recovered by anyone. Everything else was destroyed.
The machine taken in the above picture was actually retrieved by the allies from the Japanese embassy in Berlin after the surrender of Germany in 1945.
Yet, it is still a mystery whether or not the U.S. Government knew that the Empire of Japan was to open war with the U.S. on December 7 (Japan Time), 1941. It looks like the Roosevelt Administration expected that the Imperial Navy would start to attack U.S. bases in the Philippines instead of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Incidentally exact performance and specifications of Japan's Zero fighters were kept almost perfectly secret, though 78 Zeros were included in 380 attack planes that took off from total six aircraft carriers to Pearl Harbor.
