Subject: Divine Will from the 7th Century to the 21st Century


I don't know if the so-called Jesus' tomb and bones some media reported theatrically the other day has anything to do with yesterday's fall of stock prices in the world market.

But, if God is unpleased with such a modern people's handling with Jesus Christ, anything could happen in the world money market.

It must be part of Christ's warning on false Christ.
* * *

Roughly speaking Islam was established in the early seventh century.

It is the era when Persia was gaining power more than ever and fighting the Eastern Roman Empire over the territories such as Egypt and Syria.

Yes, the key is Persia which had fought ancient Greece and the Roman Empire for 1000 years. With exception of Alexander the Great, no other power could conquer Persia.

More importantly, Christianity was stopped in its diffusion to the east at Persia at that time.

But, as soon as the religion Islam was established as the one sharing the same racial root with Israelites (however, Israelites must have been of Sumerians before they became Semitic-Hamitic, that is Akkadian) and Arabs were united under the religion, Arabs ventured into the war against Persia and defeated it for the first time decisively, as if following a divine will.

The defeat of Persia was so awful that Persians accepted the enemy's religion Islam. It is a big surprise when considering the past overwhelming dominating position of Persians over Arabs that the former came to believe in the God of the latter.
* * *

Islam was provided for Arabs at the critical moment when they looked like going to completely loose their ancient glory as Akkadians, a partner of Sumerians when having built the Mesopotamia Civilization.

Islam was provided when Persia had blocked the progress of Christianity to the east for 500 years. Though it was Islam that Persians adopted, a religion worshipping the God of Abraham could advance to the east, as far as Indonesia and the Philippines through the territory of Persia.

(Islam made Persians less aggressive just like Buddhism made Mongolians more clement.)
* * *

Under Islam and dominance of Arabs, the Islamic Empire expanded. And the whole Islamic regions in the Middle East were governed by Arab leaders, who did not look so harsh as Persians, for some time.

If today all the major oil producing Arab countries were united under single constitution, for example, the United States of Arabs, the world oil reserves share would be as follows:

No. ...... Country ...... Oil Reserves Share in the World
1 ....United States of Arabs..............42.8%
2 .......... Russia .............................14.0%
3 .......... Iran ..................................8.2%
4 .......... USA ................................. 3.3%

In this case, would they still have to heavily depend on foreign forces and suffer from civil wars and terror as reaction of such dependence?
* * *

Islam was established at the right time for Arabs, Persians, Egyptians, Europeans living in territories of the past Roman Empire, and above all pious Asians living in the east of Persia.

(Any human relationships, including the one between a man and a woman, should be established likewise conceptually, that is, at the right time. Then troubles you might hear and see so often, including unforgiven humiliation and rumors, could be avoided.)

TSE Also Affected by Shanghai Stock Price Drop

TSE Also Affected by Shanghai Stock Price Drop


Stock prices dropped in Shanghai. Then, values significantly fell in the New York market. This morning the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) also followed the downturn trend to the degree comparable with a drop in stocks triggered by the 2001 9/11 Terror.

There have been many various arguments in Japan about the state and prospects of Chinese economy. Japan is virtually the largest stakeholder in Chinese economy.

China has no tested economic and financial structure, including the bond market. Its accounting system and rules are too unique or weird. Its economy is mainly bolstered by its cheap labors, significant investment from overseas, and lucrative offer of various technologies from Japan.

In conclusion, if inflation starts in China while raising salaries of workers, control of money supply will be very difficult. It is expected that China has to suppress inflation by slowing down its economic growth. Its capital markets will be adversely effected so that stock prices will drop in Shanghai; then, value will significantly drop in the New York market; and Tokyo will also follow the downturn trend.

The U.S. should cooperate with Japan to keep Chinese economy safe and sound to all. Do not let them use the money market as a weapon to intimidate Japan and the U.S.
* * *

My concern is, however, why Islam was established at a certain time in history and in a certain region of the world.

(It should be also noted that there are 130 million Muslims in China, while there are seven million Msulims in the U.S.)

I will deal with it tomorrow or so.


"I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN THEIR MINDS"

Christ's Warning on False Christ

Christ's Warning on False Christ


One of drastic effects the 9/11 Terror in 2001 has had on Japan is that many citizens, especially those concerned with politics, media and business with the U.S., have become customary viewers of international TV news channels.

Even a secretary of a former Japan's Prime Minister said that he has a TV always switched on in his office to check international news reported by CNN and BBC since September 11, 2001.

These news programs are in most cases provided for Japanese audience via optical fiber cables and with an interpretation or translation service. They are also used for English education in schools and homes. Even some reporters of a first-rate Japanese newspaper company seem to write an article for the next day's release just following a story of CNN or BBC.
* * *

Today's big issue was discovery of the tomb of Jesus Christ.

Last year, I was troubled with the novel "Da Vinci Code."

This year, am I going to be troubled with Americans being excited by the discovery of the tomb of Jesus Christ?

Considering graveness of fear, awe, shocks, desperation, and affliction the first believers felt to the death of Jesus Christ and taking into account the great sense of relief, hope, salvation, recovery, and wonder the first believers felt to resurrection of Jesus Christ, you absolutely need the most non-nonsense scholars, specialists, experts, politicians, believers, and reporters to deal with this matter.

I mean no money and no profits should be involved in dealing with this matter.

(In a false-religion market in Japan, there are many victims who are cut to the bone financially, though the concept of false Christ is well-known in Japan.)

Otherwise, Muslims simply lose their non-nonsense concerns to Christianity, which might be a real threat to the peace of the world after September 11, 2001.
* * *

People do not need bones of Jesus Christ.

People need His blessing.

His pious followers today are more important than any human bones if they are true bones of ancient saints.

Especially, if He is God, He can create His bones as many as possible, which is work of God.

(Or do you like to hear that someone loves you so much that he wants your bones? )

"PRAISE HIS BLESSING"

A Half Year Test for or in 2001

A Half Year Test for or in 2001


Mr. Souichiro Tawara, a Japan's famous TV program host, interviewed the prominent policy secretary of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, and published the dialogue in a special edition of a magazine.

(As Mr. Tawara is also a busy author and political analyst, his TV appearance is usually once a week unlike "Larry King Live.")

* * *

When Mr. Isao Iijima was employed 35 years ago as secretary by a young Diet lawmaker named Junichiro Koizumi, he could not see his new boss for half a year.

But, in the meantime, Mr. Iijima in his late 20's was going about various chores in a Mr. Koizumi's humble office in Tokyo.

Mr. Iijima everyday took a seat at a desk in front of his only colleague, a senior female secretary called Ms. Koizumi, who seemed to be a remote relative to Mr. Koizumi or so; but she was the very person who had actually recruited Mr. Iijima.

But, one day at last, Mr. Iijima met young Diet lawmaker Mr. Koizumi who came back to his office for the first time in half a year.  But Mr. Koizumi just passed by Mr. Iijima to his own room almost without saying anything.

(Mr. Koizumi seems to have worked in a series of local elections of his colleagues in the party in his election district, just 30 miles west of Tokyo.)

Ms. Koizumi, the veteran female secretary, told Mr. Iijima to go and greet with his boss. So, Mr. Iijima knocked on the door and went into the boss's room, expecting some substantial conversation. But, young Diet lawmaker Mr. Koizumi, then 30 years old or so, just said a word or two; and their first meeting ended.

Later, Mr. Iijima found that the veteran secretary Ms. Koizumi was actually his boss's elder sister (in steps of whose deceased father her younger brother followed).

* * *

Twenty-eight years later, namely in 2001, Mr. Junichiro Koizumi became Prime Minister of Japan.

Still today, Mr. Iijima, after having served Mr. Koizumi as Political Secretary of the Prime Minister, is serving his boss, a House of Representative member Mr. Junichiro Koizumi.

* * *

This kind of stories is not so common in Japan: half a year's no-see of one's own boss while being supervised by a boss's sister without knowing who she is.

But, without this half year, there could not have been 28 years later Japan's Prime Minister Koizumi, a friend of US President Mr. George W. Bush who seems to have been also tested in 2001, and Prime Minister's Secretary Mr. Iijima and Ms. Koizumi.

In other words, if young Mr. Iijima had felt in that half year unbearable pains or given up young Mr. Koizumi as hopeless and moved to another Diet member's office, there would not have been Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and his chosen successor Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

* * *

The US President sent troops to Iraq; but Mr. Koizumi sent off himself to North Korea twice for restoring diplomatic ties in which his secretary Mr. Iijima was highly involved.

We cannot fail in dealing with North Korea that has long-rage missiles and nuclear bombs.

We really need right persons to deal with some critical issues. But, we cannot know beforehand what fate and test built such persons.

"ANYONE WHO STARTS TO PLOW AND KEEPS LOOKING BACK IS OF NO USE"

A Weekend

A Weekend


Are you spending a nice weekend? It is now 10 a.m., Sunday, in Japan. A famous socio-economic-political interview TV program, whose host may be regarded as a Japanese Larry King but more establishment-oriented, is about to begin. Today, bullying in schools seems to be one of topics.

When I was younger, or so much younger than today, I often drove in weekends.

Passing through express ways through the center of Tokyo was often thrilling on a holiday when traffic jams, a customary thing on a business day, are less.

However, I myself stopped to be a car owner quite a sometime ago and began to rely on a more convenient vehicle.

(In Japan, it is said that judges never drive. Any minor traffic accidents can happen to anybody in a country of a size of California, 70% of which is mountain terrain [not tropical jungles], but with 72 million cars and 120 million population.)
* * *

What we have to do on a holiday is seeing flowers in a field and watching birds flying, in my opinion.

Or we have to live, carrying our own cross.

"UNTIL THE POWER FROM ABOVE COMES DOWN UPON YOU"

"The Sky Is Falling"

"The Sky Is Falling"


I read "The Sky Is Falling" by Sidney Sheldon, following divine guidance, whether you believe or not.

Besides helter-skelter of the story, there are two noteworthy points.

American readers apparently love to find evil in prominent figures such as a senator, an ambassador, or super-rich people.

American readers apparently love to see and discover goodness in a female professional such as a master of TV ceremonies or a model (maybe as a reaction to various troubled ladies recently focused on in a US TV interview show).

Anyway it was a moral play, after all.

The wife of Sidney Sheldon reportedly said to her husband that he was a genius.

Any writer would be happy to here such admiration even from his own wife.
* * *

Another underlying point of the story is Russia.

In the story, Russians were secretly selling dangerous weapons, including Plutonium.

But, it was written before the War on Terror and the sharp increase in oil prices.

Taking into consideration various bloody incidents concerning Russian politics and economy, the story might be hitting a point.

According to certain statistics:
No. ...... Country ...... Oil Reserves Share in the World
1 .......... Saudi Arabia ..........22.9%
2 .......... Russia ....................14.0%
3 .......... Iraq .........................8.2%
4 .......... Iran .........................8.2%
5 ...United Arab Emirates .......6.0%
6 .......... Kuwait .................... 5.7%
7 .......... USA ........................ 3.3%

Islamic countries are important for coming decades when oil reserves will be more valuable.

But, we have also Russia as a key country in this context.

The story reminded me of this concern.
* * *

If the sky is falling, it will not harm you so long as you have faith.

People love goodness.

We have still oil reserves.

You had better believe in God.



"'BUT I AM ONE BY BIRTH,' PAUL ANSWERED"

Mt. Fuji (3776m Live Volcano, 100km Westward from Tokyo)

Why "Paulus?"

Why "Paulus?"


Around 36 A.D., when Saul was on his way to Damascus to arrest followers of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ from the spiritual world talked to him: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

Saul later changed his name to Paulus (meaning "small" in Latin), the origin of names of many contemporary Pauls and Paulas, and set the foundation of the most powerful religion Christianity.
* * *

But why was he chosen by Jesus Christ?

It is because he was the most ascetic man in the era when the glory of Alexander the Great had gone and the Roman Empire reached a dangerous level of arrogance with its first Emperor established, which foretold coming destruction of glorious independence of the race and religion of Israelites.

To conquer the Roman Empire, where public morals were corrupted enough and going to be more corrupted, He had to choose the most ascetic person.

On this line in its core principles, Christianity had developed into Europe and later America, influences of which still remain in hearts of some pious Europeans and Americans.

But, 2000 years later, the public morals of Europe and America seem to be at risk, due to commercialism and addiction to money, in the stark contrast to, perhaps, Islam.
* * *

Followers of Jesus Christ conquered the Roman Empire that was an extension of the Greek Civilization in terms of ethics.

They succeeded in it by being more ascetic than Roman pagan citizens.

For this mission to be successful, Jesus Christ first needed "Paulus," the most ascetic man in the era.

Today, are those leaders of groups fighting the American/European Civilization and Israelites more ascetic than Americans and Europeans as well as Israelites?
* * *

The message of 9/11 Terror seems to contain this issue: "Practice abstinence to be saved and to be safe."

But, the US economy depends on consumer power. Abstinence leads to decline in economy. Nonetheless, for the U.S. as a whole to secure complete security, it must probably practice abstinence.
* * *

Will Jesus Christ call another Saul in the 21st century?
If so, even Vatican will be altered.

Or will 1.57 billion Muslims in the world who look more abstinent than Christians become more democratic and equal than Americans or Europeans?

If so, no super-rich royal families in the Islamic world will survive.

The situation today is at such a historic depth as, if another Saul is called, I do not wonder (who might emerge from a most unlikely tribe).

"TO LIVE IN HUMBLE FELLOWSHIP WITH OUR GOD"

"YOUR PRESENCE WILL FILL ME WITH JOY"

A Hypothesis on the Birth of Jesus Christ

A Hypothesis on the Birth of Jesus Christ


According to a recent astronomical study, a great eclipse of Jupiter by the new moon or the crescent occurred, in a manner that captured great attention of then astrologers, that is, on the horizon, on March 20 and April 17, 6 B.C.

(In 6 B.C., a Roman Governor in Syria is said to have held a census count.)

There is also a description that the parents of Child Jesus traveled due to a census count, and gave His birth in a not so cold environment.

Therefore, Jesus Christ might have been born in April 17, 6 B.C.
* * *

The Roman Emperor Octavius (Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus) held a census count three times during his reign, which is believed to have been also carried out in Judea:
1) 28 B.C.
2) 8 A.D.
3) 14 A.D.

There is an interesting description in the Bible that the family of Child Jesus left for Egypt to avoid calamity King Herod had inflicted.

Even before Cleopatra committed a suicide in 30 B.C., there were many Israelites making business in Alexandria, the then capital of Egypt, along with Greeks. Also, King Herod must have his subjects stationed in Alexandria to watch moves of Cleopatra and Antonius. But, those Israelites must have returned home in 28 B.C. due to the census count conducted under the name of the Roman Emperor.

My assumption is that the future parents of Holy Mother returned from Alexandria to Judea in 28 B.C.; then Holy Mother was born in Jerusalem in a respectable family.

And, 22 years later, Jesus Christ was born; but the family left for Alexandria for the above described reason, following the old family tradition, as described in the Bible.

They might have returned to Jerusalem when Jesus Christ became 12 years old, two years prior to the next census. And, Child Jesus dropped by the Temple in Jerusalem as recorded in the Bible. Then, the family moved to Nazareth for a certain reason.

When the third census was held by Roman Emperor Octavius, Jesus Christ became 20 years old; He could travel to anywhere in order to avoid the census, this time alone.

In this way, we do not have much information about His family and Himself in those early days.
* * *

If Jesus Christ had not been engaged with that era, something very negative and decisive should have happened to Israelites and the Roman Empire, a cradle of the contemporary American/European Civilization. That is why He was born at the time when especially ethics were truly going to deteriorate even through acts of Roman Emperors.

(There must be a reason for the timing of your birth, too, just like mine.)



"GET UP, PICK UP YOUR MAT, AND WALK"

Last Night in the News

Last Night in the News


Last night, a Japanese news program focused on Mr. Barack Obama.

A host of the program said that there were already some US movies featuring an African American US President. "As a movie is said to show a future course of the society, the U.S. may have an African American President some time soon."

The program showed a welcome Mr. Obama had received in Kenya and Chicago as well as pictures of his European American mother.

However, they seemed to be more anxious that the US Vice-President now visiting Japan might not be so nice to Japan, as the Japanese Prime Minister recently saw a movie, related to environment, involving Mr. Al Gore, and the Japanese Defense Minister had said something against the US War in Iraq.

One big issue, however, in the last-night news show in Japan is a Japanese whale hunting boat for scientific research under attacks by ships being operated by an international anti-whaling group and an environment protection group.

Members of the group threw flares into the Japanese whale hunting boat for scientific research in the Antarctic Ocean. And, though causal association is not clear, the Japanese ship was later damaged by mysterious fire.
* * *

We hope that a future US President will have a deep insight in environment, security, and the Japanese whaling culture.

I think Japanese news programs will welcome such a new US President unconditionally.

(For the Presidential-race racial issue, it reminded me of "Ebony And Ivory" by Paul McCartney with Stevie Wonder. A piano needs at least black keys and white keys, though they can be more colorful.
Do you also play the piano?)


"THE MIRACLE OF JONAH"

"The Price of Loyalty"

"The Price of Loyalty"


Mr. Paul O'Neill was in Japan when the 9/11 Terror occurred in the US East Coast in 2001. He watched the news program in the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. Then, from the US Air Force base at Yokota, then US Secretary of Treasure flew back to the U.S. on a military plane.

"The Price of Loyalty" by Ron Suskind is one of the very absorbing reports on the US politics and its characteristics.
* * *

I also watched the news on TV in the night of September 11, 2001.

First, on switching a channel, they said that there was a fire in Washington D.C., and I saw a somber concrete building in fire. "Is a fire rare in Washington D.C.?" Then a TV announcer said that there was another fire disaster, too, in New York. "Rare coincidence?" And then, they presented a World Trade Center tower belching out black smoke from the upper middle of its structure. "Attacks!"

It was around 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. here in Japan; though I was busy at the time and could not stop my work, I continued monitoring the TV screen which also presented the unforgiven collapse of the two towers.
* * *

The leaders of Al Qaeda did not reportedly expect collapse of the entire WTC towers. They only expected the collapse of the upper part of the building. Just two commercial jet planes cannot destroy the New York City or the US economy.

The large-scale attacks to the Pentagon and other core facilities of US Government in the capital, however, are an act of war, especially when combined together with the NY attacks.
* * *

Subsequently, if the U.S. had completely destroyed the terror group and arrested main culprits or enemies in Afghanistan, and deftly driven out leaders of a longstanding hostile country in the Middle East to eradicate a potential danger of another attack on the US homeland, things today might have been very different.

It seems that the true motivation and intention of the US President on his order to attack Iraq, whether consciously or not, has not been fully understood or revealed. His honest view and assessment on the terrorists in Afghanistan, whether consciously or not, have not been clearly understood by, or presented to, the world citizens, either.

And, whenever I hear the number of casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq, I have come to think that they are people, without doubt, living on September 11, 2001, just like me.
* * *

Hence, the Great Tsunami Disaster, in a magnitude observed once a century, hit the largest Islamic country Indonesia in late 2004, killing more than 150,000 people; and Pope John Paul II died in 2005.

The age seemed to be getting into the worldwide and historical stage, not only as an episode of the U.S. and its young history.
* * *

I do not know how I was tested on September 11, 2001.

But, you may see it, though I cannot present any absorbing report like "The Price of Loyalty."

"PREACH BEYOND YOUR COUNTRY"

NYSE Wealth since 1995

NYSE Wealth since 1995


It has passed several years since the New York Stock Exchange price index reached the 10,000 dollar level.

When it hit the level, then FRB Chairman under the Bill Clinton Administration reportedly thought that it should have been 7,000 dollars or so.

He checked the background with focus on increase in productivity.

It is apparent that since 1995, when Windows 95 was released with advanced Internet functions and Intel CPUs got into a continuous power-up trend, US citizens have been driven into multiplying their productivity in any activities where a PC and communications can prove their power to the full extent as convenient and effective business tools. These conditions have really allowed for launching new business and cultivating new market in the US society, leading to the boost of the NYSE index and an overwhelming sense of success among US citizens with money enough for equity investment.

I thought at that time, when Japan was said to have lost in the Japan-US Monetary War in 1990's, that the Dow Jones industrial avergae at that level was a kind of upper limits but it would stay there due to advanced financial technology of the US financial sector.
(NYSE index: 5,000 in November 1995; 8,000 in July 1997; and 10,000 in March 1999)

With that high level of stock prices, you can be given larger credit when borrowing money.

Even if the stock price level falls like in the case in September 2001, you do not necessarily have to return money immediately. There is a "time lag" in which you could purchase stocks at a lower price, which would collectively result in generating an upper momentum of the stock market again. After all, your financial credibility crisis could be avoided.

If this cycle is repeated, the NY SE index would keep, in average over time, that higher level above 10,000 dollars.

But, everything changes; the momentum of keeping the cycle might be weakened. Costly wars on terror might trigger it. Mexican workers who only send their earnings back home might have an influence on a general cash flow. New energy technology might change a view of the world economy.
* * *

You cannot serve both God and Mammon. The super-rich cannot be super-pious. (Vatican should be a Palace of the Poor.)

Anyway, it is better being loved than being rich.



"ARE YOU JEALOUS BECAUSE I AM GENEROUS?"

"Nobody Blames You"

"Nobody Blames You"


When Jesus Christ sat between outraged people and a woman about to be executed, He was writing or drawing something on the ground.

(This is the only description on his writing or drawing in the Bible.)

Then, the outraged people admonished by Jesus Christ left the place one after another.

Was He, however, just drawing a circle on the ground?

I suppose He was writing names of women.

Outraged people, while being admonished by Him, reading the names of women written on the ground, clearly understood the meaning, since they were familiar names to them.

My assumption is that Jesus Christ first wrote the name "Cleopatra" every Israelite knew well, so as to hold the stage in the situation; it was two generations after her death in her war against the Roman Empire (just like today to WWII).
* * *

We had rain today.

I just checked "SUN TZU" (a book of ancient China on the art of war), not for any specific purposes.

A Hypothesis on Birth of the Universe

A Hypothesis on Birth of the Universe


In the beginning, there was logic, owing to Omnipotence of God.

God let it establish itself.
Then, trials and testing began.

Firstly the concepts and logical operations of "True" and "False" were established. Then arithmetic logic was tried:

The concepts "0" and "1" were separated from each other as a mere trial on enabling "Existence," for God is Almighty. However, it failed in the following logic:
1 + 0 = 0
1 + 1 = 0

Next, another logic:
1 + 0 = 1
1 + 1 = 1

It is still insufficient, and finally:
1 + 0 = 1
1 + 1 = "2" with "2" suddenly emerging and claiming its Authenticity.

At this stage, one type of energies generated at the lowest level of the Heaven or Nothingness has survived in itself and began to sustain itself by relying on the logic.

It succeeded, changing its form to time and space, while all the other types of energies that could not develop into time and space failed and returned back to the lowest level of the Heaven or Nothingness.

The material universe got its foundation. Then it exploded like the so-called Big Ban, which is actually deployment of the energy in forms of time and space composing a kind of a "Table Cloth."

And, 13.7 billion years later, mankind has rediscovered the logic.
Hence, I am confirming it now.
* * *

However, it is a mystery that psychology of mankind still tries to admit the failed types of the arithmetic logic:
1 + 0 = 0
1 + 1 = 0
1 + 1 = 1

"You and I together is Nothing, or You or I alone only."

But, of course, the extension of "1 + 1 = 3, 4, 5, etc." with unauthorized margins might be easy to interpret.

As for the operation "+," it symbolizes the living God.
* * *

(Music scores are also expressed by using 1 and 0 inside a computer.
Music scales use only part of a set of infinite number of frequencies of sound.
Can we find any other, more comfortable, different absolute scale systems by using a computer?
Is beauty of sound related to glory of birth of the universe in any way?
Can anybody compose a symphony to praise the Birth of Logic and Universe?)
* * *

If they are not entirely absorbed in issues related to "money" and "laws," they may be able to contribute much to mankind.

(Trying to find a convenient logic in a "court" or getting a maximum margin of profits in "market" may be not so sound as the study of the above hypothesis from a certain point of view, is it?)


"MORTAL MAN, EAT THIS SCROLL"

Faster than Eagerness

"WE ALL GOT SAFELY ASHORE"

"Hotel Rwanda"

"Hotel Rwanda"

"Hotel Rwanda" was released in Japan last year. It was a big hit, though not so much commercialized.

In the summer last year, one corner of a DVD rental shop in Tokyo where scores of "Hotel Rwanda" DVDs had been placed became empty. A young clerk of the shop was watching the corner with deep emotion.

He is the one who made the most efforts to have the movie released in Japan.

In September 2000, he was a student living in Kyoto with love of movies and music. He wanted to travel overseas in his last summer vacation in the university. Out of nowhere, he conceived a country called Rwanda. He wanted to take pictures of children in Rwanda and visited a memorial hall for victims of the well-known tragedy. He purchased tickets to Rwanda at a somehow perplexed tourist agency, but nobody including his bandmates wanted to accompany him "to Rwanda."

It was his first overseas trip. He stopped by at Holland where he was intimidated by some Europeans on a street. Hence, he became extremely cautious and stayed in a hotel all day during his stay in Holland. Then he flew to Nairobi bearing the lesson on a foreign street in mind.

On a Nairobi's street, while he was surrounded by street children, somebody suddenly shouted at him, "Takahashi! Takahashi!" He cautiously thought that Nairobi people should think that all the Japanese had the surname Takahashi. But, he found later on TV in a hotel that Ms. Naoko Takahashi won the Gold Medal in the Summer Olympic Games.

Then he in high spirits got to Uganda and checked in a cheap hotel, proudly talking to a clerk of the hotel on his smart and economical travel. But, the clerk asked him how much he had paid for air tickets from Japan.

He moved on and met a good natured Congolese. When they departed at the border to Rwanda, he could not help but offer a good wish to the good natured Congolese, for Congo was then at a civil war.

His long journey to Rwanda was truly rewarded when he was enjoying a bus tour in the civil-war torn country, as many children on a field waved back to him with a big welcome smile. Then the Japanese student happened to stay in a very deluxe hotel by chance, a little far from Kampala, since the bus stopped by accident in front of the hotel. In a hotel even a Japanese youth thought to be very gorgeous, he wondered in the midnight silence what country he was actually in.

After coming back to Japan, he made the most efforts to have the movie "Hotel Rwanda" released in Japan through organizing a promotion group.

But, why was he doing a part-time job in a DVD rental shop (except for air conditioning and young nice female colleagues)? It is because he quit a film distribution company that had employed him while he had been personally making great efforts for promoting "Hotel Rwanda." And, he later failed to pass employment examinations of various newspaper companies. He quit the part-time job and got burnt out, though his love for movies and music, in addition to his humble fame as the promoter, seems to be supporting him.

For your reference, he stopped to write a blog on "Hotel Rwanda" on 21, December, 2006 (http://www.hotelrwanda.jp/).

A notable politician in Japan, who was the representative of the largest opposition party when the 2005 9/11 general election was held in Japan, also saw the movie. He counted "Hotel Rwanda" as the best one among eight movies, which he had seen in 2006, including the one related to the "Iwojima" battle.

The influence of the movie might appear some day in the Japanese political community and media, promoting humanity and making people more compassionate.

Then, such a young man as the humble but great promoter of "Hotel Rwanda" might be paid off in a more practical sense.
* * *

I don't know if you have ever been to Rwanda or seen "Hotel Rwanda."

But, you surely have not heard of a story related to the "gorgeous hotel in Rwanda," which I have presented here with approval of God.

All I can say is that atrocities in Africa are more sinful than in any other continents: God must be angry.

Still considering such anger, how lucky we are (as if living in the Garden of Eden)!

The Prophecies


According to the famous prophecies (of St. Malachy) and some interpretations, "Petrus Romanus" is the last Pope. However, it is extremely difficult to imagine the holy person and his situation. Anyway, St. Peter is the first follower of Jesus Christ. He only may be able to put an end to missions of his successors.

"De labore solis" for Ioannes Paulus II is very reasonable:
The Pope was like the sun for laborers in Poland under political, economic, and military influences of the USSR. In addition, the national flag of Poland is very akin to Japan's Sun Flag, in terms of colors, red and white. He is also the first Pope who visited Japan.

"Gloria olivae" for Benedictus XVI is very difficult to interpret due to his holy mission ongoing. (But, it should be noted that generally speaking Muslims have a skin color of olive. In terms of politics, natural resources, and religions, the focus on Islam has never been so intensified as nowadays. In his reign in Vatican, Islam might occupy a glorious position in the world and the human history, despite wars and other tragedies now plaguing them.)
* * *

If democracy and globalization are authorized by Jesus Christ, His churches might adopt them in a drastic manner.

Samurai Mission to Pope in 1615

Samurai Mission to Pope in 1615

[Updated on Nov. 30, 2011]

In Tokyo Prefecture with 12 million population, registered foreigners are only 370,000. (They mostly live in concentrated places of the metropolitan area.)

Naive comparison of Tokyo with New York is not productive as well as that between a single-race nation, Japan, and a multiethnic nation, the U.S.

In addition, the situation is now changing. The US population reached 300 million plus 20 million Mexicans inside the border.

Accordingly, "Clash of Civilizations" by Samuel P. Huntington was translated into Japanese and reasonably sold.

Meanwhile Japanese companies invested total 1.1 billion dollars into Mexico in 2005 to boost their economic ties. Even the Japanese version of NAFTA was concluded between the two countries.

Though it is said that the poor accounts for 80% of the population of Mexico, the last year's Presidential election was remarkably fairly conducted, according to a Japanese businessman there. (The advertisement industry in Mexico seems to be one of focal points to be improved. Now, you know where to invest.)

I really want to say, "May God bless Mexico!"

* * *

In 1615, a Japanese envoy to the Vatican led by the samurai Tsunenaga Hasekura was granted an audience to Pope Paulus V in Rome.

(A Japanese samurai is not only a warrior, but also a bureaucrat, a financial manager, and sometimes a scholar, different from traditions of separation of swords and the pen in China and Korea.)

Though Hasekura was not sent off by a Shogun, he represented one strong samurai clan who wanted to strengthen its power base, against the Shogun's clan, with a support of the then superpower Spain, a Catholic empire.

Hasekura on board a Spanish ship crossed the Pacific Ocean and landed on Acapulco of Mexico, then a colony of Spain. He got to the other side of the land and went on to Europe across the Atlantic with help from Spain. Finally, his greeting behavior to Pope Paulus V was highly praised; and the envoy suffered no humiliation, though some members got determined not to go back home but stay and live in Spain.

Soon after Hasekura's coming back to Japan, the Shogun closed the country, severely banning the religion Christianity and the diplomatic relation with Spain while sacrificing the hegemony over the East Pacific which consequentially fell into the hand of the West until 1858 when a Japan-US treaty was signed resulting in opening the country again.

Nonetheless, a fact has remained that a Japanese samurai envoy arrived at Rome and officially met Pope Paulus V before the Mayflower left Southampton for America in 1620.

(According to Malachy's prophecies, Pope Paulus V should be concerned with Gens Perversa or the "wicked race." People suspected that Pope Paulus V might be wicked. But, it is apparent that the "wicked race" means Japanese in light of the above episode; actually Catholicism had been banned in Japan for 250 years under the Tokugawa samurai regime.

Now, we have only one or two Popes left, according to the prophecies: Gloria Olivae and Petrus Romanus.

But mankind must survive and progress with Jesus Christ.

[And, Paulus V was actually nice to Japan; you should not harm his dignity.])

* * *

"To the Vatican over Mexico" was reality for some samurais in 1615.

But, venturing a remark, where over America should pious descendants of the Pilgrims go on for their holy mission? Mesopotamia?



"I WILL CONFIDENTLY WAIT FOR GOD"

Alexander the Great & Diogenes

Alexander the Great & Diogenes


When Alexander the Great (Aleksandros III Megas) came to Corinth, about 300 year before the birth of Jesus Christ, on his massive military campaign to the east, namely to Persia and as far as the Indus, he heard a rumor about Diogenes and visited him.

Diogenes once walked with a lamp in the daylight. People laughed at him, asking what he was looking for. Diogenes answered that he was looking for a human being. They all realized that they were all disqualified as a human being.

When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes, the philosopher was resting, lying on the ground.

Though Diogenes did not stand up to greet the King of Macedonia, the King asked him what he wanted from the King. Diogenes said to Alexander the Great to let the sunshine fall on him as the King stood between the Sun and Diogenes.

Alexander the Great praised Diogenes, saying that he wished to be another Diogenes though he was actually content with being "Alexander the Great."
* * *

As you know, the last fruit of a tree that had grown from a seed the King sowed was Cleopatra who is said to have been extremely smart to be loved by Caesar and Antonio.

However, if Alexander the Great had had also become another Diogenes and Cleopatra had had become the Queen of Rome, the fate of ancient Israelites might have been very different.
* * *

Does the U.S have a Diogenes, though it seems to have many admirers of Cleopatra and Alexander the Great?

I am an admirer of Diogenes because he pursued truth, he experienced a "state of a slave," he lived a life of the homeless, and he became an excellent educator respected by Alexander the Great, the most respected by Cleopatra.

What's more, unless the King of Macedonia himself went out to pay a courtesy visit to Diogenes, the King, still young, should have failed in his war against mighty and experienced Persia.



"MY BLOOD WHICH SEALS GOD'S COVENANT"

The Rainbow Bridge

Holy Reason in 2008 A.D. and 3000 B.C.

Holy Reason in 2008 A.D. and 3000 B.C.


Why did the God choose Abram? For an unknown holy reason?

To find the answer we have to study Sumerians.

(Will people choose their President for a holy reason in 2008? You need this study.)
* * *

As you know, Sumerians were the first tribe that established the first human urban civilization, the Mesopotamian Civilization, building for example the city Ur 6000 years ago, though there had been a preceding agricultural tribe already in the delta of the Tigris and the Euphrates who however made no war against new comers.

From Ur, Abram departed once for all to the west following the order of God 5000 years ago, namely, in 3000 B.C. to become Abraham (which symbolizes an important thing).

(Moving around the regions might have been just an ordinary custom of ancient nomads; there might have been nothing holy as scholars have emphasized. Everything might have happened by chance, as everybody's birth and death as well as admission to Heaven or the hell...But I prefer assurance or holy assurance.)
* * *

Mesopotamia is the ultimate home province of Israelites (accordingly, isn't it holy?).

Though the different race Akkadians later came to Mesopotamia and shared the Civilization with Sumerians who had earlier come from the north and settled there, I believe Abraham belonged to Sumerians partly due to the location, the southern city Ur, which he left just relying on his God.

(This is why even today people living in Southern Iraq [Iraq may be named after another city called Urq] observe a different kind of Islam and rather communicate better with Iranians.)

The language Sumerians used is a kind of mystery; however, it has been proved to be different from a Semitic language Akkadians used, though both the races got mingled and shared their languages to some extent.

When Abraham left Ur, he seems to have used no longer the original Sumerian language. His descendants completely lost whatever Sumerian traits that had been preserved in Ur to become Semito-Hamitic like contemporary pious Arabs.

The genealogy that can be traced back to the first civilized race Sumerians seems to be more authentic than the one that can be traced only to the second civilized race Akkadians. I believe that Israelites are more glorious than today's scholars (and themselves) believe them to be.
* * *

We have to go and study in Mesopotamia to discover the holy reason why the God chose Abraham, a descendant of Sumerians.

The key to understanding human history might be found there. It will lead to deeper understanding the will of God.
* * *

Nonetheless, what the only superpower in the world is today doing for Mesopotamia, to which the God mercifully gave crude oil and Islam to bless descendants of mostly Akkadians, is just reinforcement of military capability.

I am afraid that they are doing something wrong or the worst in these 5000 years.
* * *

You don't have to share my view. It is yet to be proved.

However, when Puritans in 1620 left England and Holland on board the Mayflower heading for the New World Columbus had discovered based on his belief in Marco Polo's report, there must have been a holy reason which modern people have missed for a very long time.

Test in Space or Racecourse


Mr. Rodger Donaldson is the director of "Thirteen Days."

His new movie, though originally released in the U.S. in 2005, "World's Fastest Indian" is now put on the screen in Japan.

The situation is set in New Zealand and the U.S. in 1960's. The hero is Burt Munro, an elderly and poor New Zealander, who traveled to the U.S. on a cargo vessel to make a world record of 306Km/h in a certain class of races in the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, riding on his 1920's Indian Scout motorbike.

While it is expected that more and more baby-boom generation in Japan are going to retire in coming years, the movie based on a real story that Burt Munro made the world record at his 60's seems timely.

The movie was produced without U.S. funds. But Japanese funds contributed to its production, making its completion possible.

In the universe and on the ground, you can be tested regardless of your age, at the risk of your life or even routinely as prominent TV personalities; but you may win once for all so that you will laugh heartily like Burt the Fastest.

Yet, you need faith (even if you have already made a world record of a certain kind which is widely well known).



"TO THOSE WHO ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ME"

A Genealogical Tree Since 1776

A Genealogical Tree Since 1776


Mr. Takashi Hirose, a prominent author in Japan, published a book titled "Sekai Sekiyu Senso (World Oil Wars)" in 2002.

He pointed out that oil incurs wars and wars incur arms business. In this context, he especially mentioned Mr. Adnan Khashoggi.

According to other source, "his 'services' as a 'facilitator' have never ceased throughout US administrations since Nixon, and lately, he met with Richard Perle, shortly before the American invasion of Iraq, in 2003" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adnan_Khashoggi).

Mr. Hirose showed various genealogical trees in his book. The following scheme has been arranged based on public knowledge and an original genealogical tree in Mr. Hirose's book as of early 2002, in order to present a certain genealogy of public figures, which is mysteriously connected with Mr. Khashoggi:

"Till the beginning of the Age of Wars on Terror [2001], with
...
...
Mr. Adnan Khashoggi [1935-]
(a Saudi Arabian agent of the US military industry),
/
/an ex-husband of
/
Ms. Sandra (Soraya) Javis-Daly,
/
/???
/
Mr. Winston Churchill
(a grandchild of Winston S. Churchill, British Prime Minister),
/
/a son of
/
Pamela Digby [1920-1997]
(a backer of Mr. Bill Clinton; also the wife of Averell Harriman [1891-1986] who was the US King of Railroads and also a backer of the Bushes),
/
/a daughter of
/
Constance Pamela Bruce
(the wife of Edward Kenelm Digby, a nephew of the wife of Alexander Hugh Baring of a prominent UK financial clique),
/
/a sister of
/
Eva Bruce,
/
/the wife of
/
Albert Primrose,
/
/a son of
/
Hannah Rothschild
(the wife of Archibald P. Primrose [1847-1929], British Prime Minister when Indo-Afghan borders were settled),
/
/a daughter of
/
Mayer Amschel Rothschild
(the wife of Lionel Rothschild [1808-1879], the financier to the UK Government for buying out the Suez Canal),
/
/a daughter of
/
Nathan Rothschild [1777-1836]
(the King of Finance in England),
...
...
from the Declaration of Independence of the U.S. [1776]."
* * *

Humbly accepting the historical fact, it is God who would let it sustain itself or not at His will.

(Rich Israelites alone cannot enjoy wealth and power in Europe and thus the U.S. It is German elites in the 18th century that trusted and backed a certain Israelite family who became and is still one of the richest one in Europe today. Anti-Semitism is regarded as an internal conflict among Christians, at least, in this context. In addition, Semitism and Ant-Semitism were, and have been, very remote thing in Japan both before and after WWII.)
* * *

And, though Mr. Hirose does not rely on the Internet to gather information (his sources are printed materials open to the world), the Internet should not be used in any harming manner against any individuals and religions. Otherwise, as the Internet is originally an infrastructure of the US Department of Defense, DOD should take the Internet off the world market.

(Can't DOD introduce new technical and procedural specifications to allow every router set at providers and exchanges to shut down a path to a worldly-admitted illegal site? Could anybody identify all the routers in the world public domain and their routing tables?)
* * *

Now, you would not be surprised if Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, and Jesus Christ are studied in one context, though not in a direct family tree.

(Everyman has at least one personal pedigree: God---oneself)



"GOD IS KING FOREVER"

Another Episode

Another Episode


As another episode contained in the book written by the said notable Japanese author who studied political and financial scandals in the U.S. and Europe, Mr. Harry Belafonte, who last year made a controversial speech at Duke University, had once purchased a whole condominium building in New York to live in one apartment because an owner of the building had refused to rent it to him.

Also, as Mr. Harry Belafonte made a controversial speech on Mr. Colin Powel and Ms. Condoleezza Rice, he was, so to speak, summoned into that famous "Larry King Live," according to the book.
* * *

My concern is however also on such issues as Mitochondrial Eve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve) who lived almost 200,000 years ago in Africa and became one of common mothers of all the contemporary humans including Africans and Japanese.

And, 98% of human genes are the same as those found in a chimpanzee.

Even a round worm called Caenorhabditis has 18,000 genes, while a human being has 34,000 genes in a genome, the difference in which is astonishingly small when considering that the worm has only 969 cells in its whole body but a human being has more than 60 trillion cells to be controlled.

(For God to terminate evolution of mankind would be as easy as His doing so to a worm, if we, as a young species, continue to neglect His will.)
* * *

Money cannot increase the number of genes. Only for this reason, you can be poor, can't you?



"PRAY ALSO FOR US, BROTHERS"

King Kong

King Kong


In 1976, the movie "King Kong" was released. In its last scene, the gigantic ape-man King Kong was climbing a World Trade Center tower in New York to protect a human woman he loves. However, US jet fighters flew in to fire at him. King Kong got fatally shot and fell from the rooftop of the WTC tower to the ground.

It is said that this movie depicts arrogance of human beings in a pathetic manner.

King Kong loves a human beauty and climbs a WTC tower trying to save her despite attacks by US Air Forces, which may be a laughingstock; but it is the WTC tower that actually fell down to the ground in 2001 (with so many ultimate sacrifices - Amen!).
* * *

I am not so sure if this episode is very appropriate or not.

But, a certain notable Japanese author who studied racism, money scandals, political scandals, and scandals in the War on Terror of the U.S. included this episode in his book.

So, what is a good lesson? Do not be a King Kong? Do not fall in love with a beauty in New York? Do not climb a WTC tower? Do not lose to US Air Forces?
* * *

The producer of "King Kong" is the one who also produced "The Bible: in the Beginning" in 1966.

The lesson given seems to surpass the intention of the producer (as with a Japanese American architect who designed the WTC towers).
* * *

Now, apart from an episode between mankind and other primates, focusing on the human race, our only resort is the Messiah.

It may look strange, but Jesus Christ did not order his disciples to go and preach specifically in Africa to strengthen people there to cope with invasion by Europeans expected to happen 1500 years later.

However, my interpretation about the Civil War in the U.S. is that it must have been fought with ultimate sacrifices of 620,000, in order to atone for the sin and crime of slavery.
* * *

If my son is white, I will tell him to be white as much as possible until he becomes proud of being white.

If my son is black, I will tell him to be black as much as possible until he becomes proud of being black.

If my son is yellow, I will tell him to be golden as much as possible until he becomes proud of being golden just like ears of rice plants (even Marco Polo reported on Japan as a country of Gold around 1300).

(Colors in the Heaven must be very different from those on the earth due to glorious light of God.)

Anyway, it is a family matter; only God should interfere.

So then, what about your respectable father?




"GIVING THANKS TO GOD"

China's First and Last Madam Emperor

China's First and Last Madam Emperor


Wu Hou is the only Chinese Empress who rose to an imperial throne several years after the death of her husband, an Emperor. In other words, she is the only Madam Emperor in Chinese history, though debatable for some.

("Wu" means force of arms; "Hou" means a queen or an empress.)

She reigned from A.D. 690 to 705 in the Tang dynasty.
* * *

There are many reports on cruelty conducted under her reign. But, Chinese imperial history had been and was full of atrocities. She was not the worst Emperor at all.

On the contrary, she was nice to Japan. As she was so nice to Japan, it looks as though God set a lady at the Chinese throne when Japan was in its testing time.

In 663, Japan and China made their first full-scale war in the history on the Korean Peninsula for hegemony over a certain country therein. And Japan was defeated. Since then, for decades, Japan faced various serious situations, though Tang military did not advance to occupy Japan.

(In those days, the samurai class was not yet established in Japan.)

Even during this war, Wo Hou was actually in charge of Tang's politics, because her husband was ill.
* * *

It is during her reign and de facto reign in Tang that Japan changed its name from "Wa" to "Nippon" (Japan) and its chief's title from "Dai-ou" (great king) to "Ten-nou" (emperor), in order to gain more respect both domestically and internationally and thus recover from the lost war against Tang, while keeping complete independence from Tang.

As the only super-power in East Asia then, China could have rejected official recognition of such changes in the name of the country and its leader's title. However, the changes were remarkably smoothly accepted.

Unless China's Emperor was a lady who was especially pleased with sophiscated envoys sent off by the Imperial (Yamato) Court of Japan in 702, things might have gone wrong for Japan.

But, the fact is that China had at that age a Madam Emperor as the first and the last case in its long history.
* * *

For this reason based on the historic experience, Japan is not against a lady taking up any high position in the world politics.

I am not against you even trying to be a queen in a certain country, neither (, if you are not yet).



"DO THE WORK, FOR I AM WITH YOU"

Chance and Certainty

Chance and Certainty


No one thinks it is a mystery that Jesus Christ was born in a specific place at a certain time of history; they think it is by chance.

If you believe in accidentalism and fatalism, while neglecting causality and logicality, a question such as why the Messiah was born at a certain time may not be your concern. However, you may still live under holy certainty supported by holy causality and logicality.
* * *

Specifically, in a generation after the well-known episodes centered on relationships between Cleopatra, Caesar, and Antonio, Jesus Christ was born.

(Why was not Jesus Christ born in Rome or Egypt to make things settled at one dash, for example, by taking charge of the Roman Empire and Cleopatra at the same time?)
* * *

King Herod's father went out to see Caesar and got his support for governing Judea.

King Herod himself after assassination of Caesar went out to see Antonio and Cleopatra in Alexandria and further went to Rome to get Rome's support for governing Judea.

King Herod himself after death of Antonio and Cleopatra swore loyalty to Octavius (Imperator Caesar Divi Filius Augustus) who became the First Emperor of the Roman Empire.

And then, during the last years of King Herod of ancient Israel, Jesus Christ was born among Israelites according to prophets of Daniel or God's promise to descendants of Abraham.
* * *

I do not think that God chose that time by chance.

1) King Herod, as a representative of descendants of Abraham, completely forgot glory of his tribe, more than fully surrendering to the Roman Empire.

2) The Roman Empire had its first Emperor, which indicated a change in a certain character of the empire that could not make the world any safer. An Emperor in Rome vs. the Messiah in Jerusalem seemed to well match, though from a human point of view.

3) As Jesus Christ never mentioned Pyramid, Cleopatra, and those drastic wars fought in the eastern Mediterranean just preceding His birth, it is apparent that He did not like those historic events and monument.

You have to explain an implicit relationship betweeen Cleopatra and Jesus Christ, not between Mary of Magdala and Jesus Christ, as the sequence of events was clearly connected around true A.D. 0 or the so-called 1 minus.
* * *

For Jesus Christ to be born at the age itself saved the world under the threat of destructive civilization of the Roman Empire.

It even paved the great way for future birth of Islam 600 years later which succedded in suppressing mighty Persia.

It even enabled Japan, the only Imperial country in the world today, though nominally, to emerge 1900 years later.

It might even make possible your success where Cleopatra failed.

I was embarrassed to see Mr. Anderson Cooper of CNN get embarrassed on his interview with Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

It was more embarrassing to see Mr. Cooper remain embarrassed after the interview.

Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton's being a future President of the U.S. is, of course, one possibility at present.

What I am afraid is that if Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton is defeated in the coming presidential election, dignity of America might be influenced, though partly, negatively.

Terrorists hiding in the Islamic world might further lose respect to their archrival, the U.S., if an ex-First Lady looses her face in real politics.

Ms. Maria Sharapova was recently defeated by Ms. Serena Williams in Australia, though Maria, an inhabitant in the U.S., has kept her ranking, No.1 among female tennis players in the world.

Maria is now in Tokyo, preparing herself for matches including one against, probably, Ms. Martina Hingis.

Maria has had many interviews by Japanese media who love her popularity in Japan.

Though she hinted, in an interview, that she thought she was more matured than other 19 years old girls due to her endeavor to be a top athlete, she carries a kind of a felling idyllic.

Mr. Michael Moore once enthusiastically wrote that he wished Ms. Oprah Winfrey to run for a U.S. Presidential election.

The only billionaire African American lady, Ms. Winfrey, is said however to have gone to South Africa to establish a girls' school.

Has he had an interview with her; or has she had ever an interview with him?
* * *

An autocracy, including the USSR, seldom allows women to lead the society, since armed forces are a core of the establishment.

But, will the fact that a lady can be the president of a nation or a billionaire appeal to Muslims?

However, a system in which young ladies can enjoy sports freely must appeal to young Muslims.

I mean the background that allows for a female President in the U.S. might be more profound than ordinary Democrats and Republicans domestically consider.
* * *

In Japan, the issue of admitting a female Emperor (or an Empress on a throne) has been a social issue for some time, though we had actually some in the long imperial history lasting almost 2000 years.

In this context, the position of the Pope in Rome might be the last challenge for ladies.

It was said, when the current-account deficit in the U.S. was larger than its GDP (gross national product) by 5%, that the U.S. needed more than 60 million dollars per hour as cash infusion to sustain its economy.

Now, it is said that the current-account deficit in the U.S. is larger than its GDP by 6%.
* * *

The main financing sources for U.S. economy are Japan and China who are actively purchasing U.S. treasury bonds.

As of August 2006, Japan, as the top creditor to the U.S., has US bonds worth US$672.8 billion.

China, in the second place, holds US bonds worth US$339 billion.

If Japan and China stop buying U.S. bonds and money flow is stopped, U.S. long-term interest rates will increase due to shortage of financial resources needed in every sector of its various industries.

Then, land prices will fall, business will be declining, and jobs will be lost in the U.S.
* * *

Japan has been for a very long time buying the U.S. bonds as a tested and proven financial ally.

But, China is new in this circle of money flow.

You may trust in China due to its economic success; but there are some points to be considered.

According to a source, Chinese earnings from selling counterfeits account for 8% of its GDP. Chinese counterfeits account for 60% of products produced and exported by the autocratic country.

Japan is estimated to have already lost 80 billion dollars due to Chinese counterfeits and patent infringements, or copies of Japanese original designs and idea.
* * *

Chinese economy is not tested yet (including its 1.2 billion people).

U.S. economy will face another test (including its 0.3 billion people).

Japanese economy will continue to be challenged (including its 0.12 billion people)

(However those who ask God for help will be saved.)
* * *

Jesus Christ said, "Those giving more are blessed more than those receiving more."

Now, we know that Japan is more blessed than the U.S. and China.

What really shows a majestic appearance is wealth accumulated in the Heaven but not a powerful "City" and a "Street" as well as a "Square", isn't it?

Reading a Saudi Arabian Editorial

Reading a Saudi Arabian Editorial


In a certain newspaper released today in Japan, a summarized editorial of a certain newspaper of Saudi Arabia was introduced.

It argued that the U.S. had invaded Iraq on false grounds; the U.S. should have had effective plans to administrate and police Iraq after its surrender; and immediate pull-out of U.S. troops would extend conflicts and battles to the entire Arab regions.
* * *

North Korea was supported by China and the USSR in the Korean War in 1950's; and thus the U.S. could not win a complete victory.

North Vietnam was supported by China and the USSR, while being linked in various negative ways with the adjacent turmoil country Cambodia, in 1960's and early 70's; and thus the U.S. could not gain victory at all.

Iraq is directly surrounded by Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc., each of which seems to support different party in Iraq; and thus U.S. might not be able to get any kind of victories it wishes.
* * *

Nonetheless, this time, Saudi Arabia along with Kuwait, etc. is, unlike China and the USSR in the past, actually an allied country for the U.S.

More specifically, it seems to be Saudi Arabia along with Kuwait, etc. that will decide the ultimate fate and outcome of the U.S. military operations and presence in Iraq.

It seems that the U.S. cannot withdraw its troops from Iraq, leaving Saudi Arabia along with Kuwait, etc. vulnerable under military threat of hostile parties, without mentioning crude oil to be secured against the hostile parties.
* * *

There are many opinions on this issue in the U.S. as well as in the world.

But, if the surrounding countries and warring parties in Iraq do not mind possibility of the continuation of the present situation, with scores of civilian casualties per day, further for a decade or more, I am afraid that situations would follow their will despite wish of U.S. voters, taxpayers, and consumers.

But, will U.S. citizens really accept it, as long as Saudi Arabia along with Kuwait, etc. cooperates with the U.S. in preventing occurrence of another 9/11 terror on the mainland of the U.S.?
* * *

As I happened to read a reference to an editorial of a Saudi Arabian newspaper, I have decided to leave my memo here as God wishes.

(Today, it is actually Sunday in Japan. Yet, newsapapers are delivered, programs of politics are on air, and the Internet is busy. Yes, even if I live in the country, I will have to check these out, though with half a heart on Sunday.)

Mankind has so far found only four types of force (gravity, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, and the electromagnetic force), each of which causes specific interaction between entities in the universe, say an atom, an electron, and more elementary particles building an atom and having mass or charge.

Top scientists have been trying to unify all these forces and understand what happened on the Big Bang, the beginning of the universe.

My concern here is about the two among the four: gravity and the electromagnetic force.

The former necessarily works on, and is generated by, mass; and the latter is free and does not work on mass itself.
* * *

Energy of light is not interfered with by gravity.

If you shed light onto an atom or an electron, its mass does not increase. Sunshine does not increase your weight.

It is also difficult to convert mass into light, probably, except in cases such as a nuclear fusion, of which principle is applied to a hydrogen bomb, amd a collision of an electron with an antielectron.

An entity with big mass can change a course of flying light; but it is because mass can distort space in which light is flying, as predicted by Albert Einstein.
* * *

Gravity and light dos not interact with each other directly.

You cannot nullify the effect of gravity by use of light; and essentially, light is not influenced by force of gravity.

They are independent. They are orthogonal against each other.

A sheer horizontal force in space cannot interact with a sheer vertical force.

Gravity is vertical and light is horizontal, while "space" itself is a more fundamental physical element than mass and light; or rather "space" is a source of the four types of interaction in the universe.
* * *

My idea is roughly that the whole universe is made of a table-cloth type of space.

If, at one location or point on the table cloth, there is a small dent in the vertical direction, we call it mass. Moving the dent while keeping its three-dimensional shape across the table cloth needs a mechanical power due to a kind of friction.

If a small, regional, and horizontal pattern is on the table cloth, we call it light. Moving the pattern while keeping its shape across the table needs no mechanical power, since no friction happens as the pattern is just horizontally skidding over the surface like a skating on an ice rink.

Gravity is vertical, light is horizontal, and other two different forces in the universe have their own direction for interaction respectively. That is why there are four "independent" forces in the universe.

As their direction of existence on space is each orthogonal, or a kind of 90 degree crossing, they do not interfere with one another.

Therefore, there must be four "independent" directions in space of this universe, each orthogonal to one another.

(The space is "three dimensional (3D)" geometrically, but the 3D structure simply represents "one direction," or directions are over-lapped or intangible on the 3D phase of space. The geometry for these "directions" is different from the conventional geometry based on "dimensions."

Therefore, terms such as "directions," "horizontal," "vertical," and "90 degrees" are rather conceptional.)

The whole universe is a kind of a table cloth with an uncountable number of various dents (mass) vertically as well as an unlimited number of patterns (light) horizontally, which follows the relationships like the follwoing:

F(gravity) x F(light) = 0
F(gravity) + F(gravity) = 2F
F(gravity) + F(light) = F
* * *

Now, in a human psychological and social space, there are also "directions."

If you go vertically, friction is generated. If you skid horizontally, no friction is generated against people around you regardless of races and religions (though it is far better to discuss anything openly with sound passion).

In this context, we may be able to understand why Jesus Christ behaved so mysteriously after His resurrection.

He changed his mode of existence from a vertical manner to a horizontal manner, which might have allowed Him even to get through a door of a room without being noticed by His followers who were hiding in the room after the so-called His death on a cross.
* * *

Angels are living in a horizontal direction; maybe a newborn baby is, too.

Getting older, people mostly tend to become more vertical.

However, as we live in this physical space, an old thing with accumulated vertical and horizontal effects is sometimes more valuable, like in a case with wine.
(I like wine put on a gemutlich table-cloth for me to relish.)

Greeting to the Sun

Greeting to the Sun


This winter is warm.

People are afraid that Tokyo might not have snow this season.

A cold air mass from Siberia and warm air from the Pacific Ocean usually get balanced over the Japanese Islands. However, Siberia itself might be getting more and more influenced by global warming.
* * *

In the Bible, Jesus Christ in a snowy day or a rainy day is not depicted.

However, he said to get on the alert and read a trend of the world just like we predict tomorrow's weather based on a condition of today's sky.
* * *

So, let's be optimistic as the Sun looks when it greets us.

Diamond or Electricity

Diamond or Electricity


Strontium titanate is a material for making a synthetic jewel such as artificial diamond.

Nonetheless using this material, Japanese scientists have recently improved thermoelectric conversion for application of power generation.

The efficiency of thermoelectric conversion has been made twice higher than in a case of using conventional materials.
* * *

Solar batteries are a good example to get electricity without using large equipment. They convert the energy of light to electricity.

In thermoelectric conversion, difference in temperature between two locations on a piece of metal causes an electric current flow.

Without sun light, as long as you have a heat source, you can generate power for a device based on the natural law of thermoelectric conversion.

There are already a few products, such as a wrist watch, to which this technology is applied, though not so popular yet.
* * *

If heat caused by friction can be applied to a piece of metal to get current or voltage needed for an appliance, people just have to use their muscle to supply power to equipment such as an LCD TV, a mobile gear, a digital camera, and an electric bulb.

If you can use waste heat in a facility or a plant in an industry in a large scale, the thermoelectric conversion technology will provide non-nonsense electric power.
* * *

Jesus Christ said that we have to be more zealous or more unperturbed in our practice of faith (without bringing up awe of God's anger by way of excuse).

Indeed, with such a difference in a state of mind, a blue streak of lighting should run and work in and around one's presence, making the situation better and promoting improvement of a social atmosphere.

(Strontium titanate is reportedly 1000 times commoner in the nature than other materials so far used for conventional thermoelectric conversion.

It looks very hopeful for poor people and bona-fide or white investors.

Even a future U.S. President might mention it in his State of the Union message to Congress, one practice of which was broadcast live this morning in Japan and reported later widely with a focus on the approval rate of President George W. Bush as well as his greeting to the female House Speaker.)

Environment, Electricity, Emission, and Elections

Environment, Electricity, Emission, and Elections


Recently Mr. Al Gore visited Japan for promoting his movie on conservation of the world environment and prevention of green-house gas emission.

Almost at the same time, Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton announced her entry in 2008 Presidential Race.

I wonder how many people who can better serve the nation than any other incumbent politicians are in the United Sates.

An order of millions or not?

In Japan, a shock and a commotion ran Sunday night in the political community.

A new governor was elected in a certain prefecture (with a population of 1.2 million) in western Japan where a former governor had been arrested for some scandals and forced to resign.

The new governor is a middle-aged ex-entertainer who had once put a halt to his show business after some scandals and entered a university in Tokyo, his playing field, to learn local governing; then having dropped out of the university last March, he ran for the emergent governorship race in his home prefecture this January and won on Sunday night, making forecast of all the media helplessly wrong.

Other two hopeful candidates, supported directly or indirectly by the two major political parties in Japan, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Democratic Party of Japan, lost to the entertainer.

The parties have lost face as with those candidates, each a guaranteed ex-elite bureaucrat.

The TIME magazine has recently reported on Kyoto in light of environment issues. (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1580391-1,00.html)

(The report mentions Japanese Government's "Cool Biz policy in 2005, under which offices save energy by keeping summer temperatures at a stifling 82.4°F (28°C)," which was promoted on the initiative of then woman Environment Minister whose charm seemed to nicely contribute to bureaucrats' compliance.)

This might be simple coincidence. But, Mr. Al Gore should be encouraged to pursue environment protection in the world regardless of his possible presidential candidacy for 2008.
* * *

As for green-house gas emission, people should stop burning naively fossil fuels as soon as possible, or introduce advanced technology to significantly reduce CO2 emission from power generators.

Following is CIA statistics on world electricity production ranking in https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2038rank.html:

No. 1 US______3,979,000,000,000 kWh
2 China_______2,500,000,000,000
3 Japan________974,400,000,000
4 Russia________952,400,000,000
5 India_________630,600,000,000
6 Canada________573,000,000,000
7 Germany______566,900,000,000
8 France________540,600,000,000
9 Brazil_________380,900,000,000

Tackling the environmental issue means to deal with the big powers in the world as well as the future great powers, most of which have a huge population.

The issue is different from managing a prefecture of 1.2 million residents based on one's experiences as an entertainer and a student, while driving out a dishonest governor.

You really need tested ability for handling the world players in the 21st century, though sometimes even devils empower man's ability.
* * *

I do not especially recommend you to invest in a certain industrial sector in a certain country for your own profits.

However, if I have funds, I will think about electricity in other poor countries.

Which, then, regardless of your religion, will you serve, God or Mammon?
