WHO SHOULD BE BLAMED?

WHO SHOULD BE BLAMED?


When I turned on a radio this morning, somebody said in the U.S. military channel: “When President heard that the banks were shut and closed due to the Wall Street turmoil, he said, ‘Go and use ATM.’”

Indeed, I reviewed the New York Times article on August 11, 2008:
---------------------------------------
Cost-cutting in New York and London has already been brutal thus far this year, and there is more to come in the next few months. New York City financial firms expect to hand out some $18 billion less in pay and benefits this year than 2007, the largest one-year drop ever. Over all, United States banks will cut 200,000 employees by 2009, the banking consultancy Celent said in April.

The work these bankers were doing is not necessarily going away, though. Instead, jobs are popping up in places like India and Eastern Europe, often where healthier local markets exist…

Morgan Stanley has about 500 people employed in India doing research and statistical analysis. About 100 of Goldman Sachs’ 3,000 employees in Bangalore are working on investment research.

JPMorgan has 200 analysts in Mumbai working for its investment banking operations around the world, doing industry analysis, and compiling data and charts for marketing materials. It has an additional 125 analysts in Mumbai supporting the bank’s global research division.

Citigroup employs about 22,000 people in India, several hundred of whom work in investment research. Deutsche Bank has 6,000 employees in India, according to the bank’s Web site. Deutsche started a pilot program to outsource some research in 2003, and would not provide any update.

Theoretically, as much as 40 percent of the research-related jobs on Wall Street, tens of thousands of jobs, could be sent off-shore, said Deloitte’s Mr. Power, though the reality will be less than that…

---------------------------------------

There is a prominent Indian economist named Ravi Batra:
---------------------------------------
Raveendra N. Batra (born 27 June 1943) is a U.S. economist and professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He is best known for his best selling books The Great Depression of 1990 and Surviving the Great Depression of 1990. In the former book he predicted a sharp rise in the US stock market in the 1980s, followed by a cataclysmic drop and a depression in or around 1990….

Outcomes of predictions
When 1990 arrived, a minor depression hit Japan and there were concerns about the stability of the US banking system. However, monetary policy was accommodative and effective. Moreover, credible bank insurance was in place and the government had demonstrated resolve to be lender of last resort. As a result, there was no panic in the stock market or run on banks.

His reputation rose in Europe on account of his correct prediction for Communism and he was awarded the Medal of the Italian Senate that year.

In Japan, where an economic crisis had gripped the country, he continued to publish bestselling works. In the USA, however, his sales began to drop and his booming side-line career as a media commentator on matters economic and financial began to sour. Batra was even presented with an Ig Nobel prize. In the 1990s, he published such books as The Myth of Free Trade and The Pooring of America, criticism of free-market policies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravi_Batra
---------------------------------------

Mr. Ravi Batra recently wrote a book titled “The New Golden Age." He mentioned a revolution in this book, though it is not a religious one:
---------------------------------------
Social Revolution

The salient feature of the era of intellectual acquisitors is that the ruling elite amass wealth but make people believe that such an endeavor is good for society. For instance, they cut taxes for themselves while raising taxes for other classes, and yet are able to convince the public that such economic policies are in society’s best interest. Or they may persuade you that God has blessed them with opulence so that they can take care of the indigent. They have the intellect to make you feel better even as they hit you, at least for a while. Dogmas proliferate at this point, and the laborer bears the maximum burden of exploitation.

Once the majority of intellectuals become acquisitive, materialism degenerates into super-materialism. There are no more religious or ethical restraints on the avarice of the elite, and as the public follows its leaders, everything gets commercialized.

There comes a point when intellectual acquisitors are virtually unchallenged; that's when the process of wealth concentration runs full throttle, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer at incredible speeds. The boundless greed and hypocrisy of acquisitive intellectuals ultimately torments the majority of people. Salaries go down, and the bulk of society is forced to devote much of its time to making money. Warriors and intellectuals then have to become laborers because they have little time left for the finer pursuits of life. They have to labor hard to support themselves and their children. The intellectual’s inherent love for art, music, painting and philosophy gives way to routine work all day long to provide the means for family survival. The warrior’s innate predilection for adventure and sport is replaced by overtime work to make ends meet. The vast majority of society comes to adopt the laborers’ way of living and thinking.

[At times such as these, people overthrow the rule of money in society, as they did during Feudalism in Europe. Then comes a golden age.]”

http://page69test.blogspot.com/2007/04/new-golden-age.html
---------------------------------------

What’s more, Mr. Ravi Batra published a Japanese book with other co-authors. Its Japanese title means “A Big Explosion of Capitalism in 2010.” He offers 10 predictions in the book:
---------------------------------------
1. The crude oil price will continue to rise over $100 per barrel.

2. The subprime loan crisis will burst up further repeatedly.

3. The Democratic Party will win in the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election.

4. Many U.S. large corporations will go broke one after another.

5. The latest economic boom in Japan will end by the middle or the end of 2008.

6. In 2009, Iran will be another flash point in the Middle East.

7. Capitalism in the U.S. will come to the end in several years.

8. Between late 2009 and early 2010, a grave crisis will happen globally.

9. In 2010, China will also face a decisive crisis.

10. A hopeful economic system will emerge from Japan.

---------------------------------------

If you believe or not, any Indians who respect Japan should be respected.

And, though they do not respect President Mr. George W. Bush, economists and pundits who are busy nowadays in the U.S. media do not look like smart.

They do not understand Japan and Japanese economy at all. They talk often about the Japan’s decade-long or 15 year-long slump in comparison with the U.S. economy; but they don’t know it is Japan that has provided funds and money to the U.S. Federal Government, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and Wall Street in this decade and 15 years. What’s more, it is Japan that has cultivated and modernized the Chinese market and Chinese industries.

So, the American radio comedian should have said, "When top economists and pundits in Washington D.C. heard that the banks were shut and closed due to the Wall Street turmoil, they all said, 'Go and use ATM.'"

Review EEE Report(er) on Wednesday, July 16, 2008.
------------------------------
But the fact is as follows:
- The amount ($1.6 trillion) of outstanding bond of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has reached the level equal to one third of the amount ($4.7 trillion) of the US Treasury bonds outstanding.

- Top five holders of bonds of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are China, Japan, Cayman Islands, Luxembourg and Belgium, and institutional investors, accounting for more than $1.3 trillion.
------------------------------

Review EEE Report(er) on Monday, June 02, 2008, too.
------------------------------

http://www.ustreas.gov/tic/mfh.txt

The total value of US Treasury bonds held by foreign countries and financial institutes is about $2,520 billion or $2.5 trillion.

Japan and China combined owns 40% of all, though quality and historical performance of each economy is so different in addition to each contribution to the global peace, as is being proven by the Great Sichuan Earthquake that occurred near the Tibet region.
------------------------------

Now, you can ponder the tenth prediction by Mr. Ravi Batra, since he seems to respect Japan so much: "A hopeful economic system will emerge from Japan."


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

Mr. Ravi Batra also wrote: "The single most worrisome economic problem today is that productivity is outpacing wages all over the world. Since productivity creates supply and wages create demand, supply outpaces demand; to maintain economic balance, the world is busy creating debt, which artificially raises demand."

http://www.ravibatra.com/gapr.html

This depicts one aspect of the economic situation in Japan in these 15 years. In this context, Japan is at the vanguard in the economy of mankind.

So, that is all for today.

Do not blame U.S. President, since Jesus Christ told no to blame anybody.

And, I have today piously proved why we must not blame U.S. President, since Japan is going to present "a hopeful economic system" to the world soon (along with EEE Report).

Finally, I don't think the eldest son of Mr. Kim Jong-Il will succeed his father, now having a serious illness, as the supreme leader of North Kora, though Mr. Kim Jong-Nam, presently staying in Beijing, looks virtually under the custody of the Chinese Communist Party, while North Korea military is busy developing an intercontinental missile.



(Indeed, till winter, the political and economic turmoil seems to continue in Japan and the world as streams of news seem to never cease even from a midnight TV station…

Mat 9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.

CHAPTER 9 or CHAPTER 11

CHAPTER 9 or CHAPTER 11


Today, Wednesday, the global money market is rebounding as FED has announced to prepare $85 billion to rescue A.I.G. after Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Nonetheless, it is time for parties concerned to review the Great Depression, though you do not have to be upset since the new Great Depression might be contained within Wall Street though Mafia-like workers there might not repent, according to the Revelation Chapter 9.



SECTION I: REVELATION CHAPTER 9

Last night, namely after having watched a late-night TV news program, I saw Japan’s Prime Minister in a humble dream.

No specific conversations happened between me and the Prime Minister; but in front of us there was a big mountain whose upper part had been violently scraped off in a large scale due to overdeveloping since it looked being full of valuable mines.

Indeed, there must be some American politicians checking EEE Reporter, since EEE miracles have happened here and there as I pointed at the following paragraphs of the Bible:
------------------------------------------------
Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Rev 9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

Rev 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

Rev 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
-----------------------------------------------

I interpreted this part, regarding “One woe” as the 9/11 Terror and “tow woes” as the Afghan War and Iraqi War.

But, the former can be Bear Sterns and the latter can be Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch.

And, note that this Chapter 9 has only 21 Verses or paragraphs, meaning that the horrible terror or woes would happen on the 11th day of the ninth month of the 21st century, namely Sept. 11, 2001.

Truly Rev 9:21 reads: "Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts."

Tell Mr. McCain that fight must be on Wall Street and Mr. Obama that change must be in Wall Street, for it looks like requesting full cooperation of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party to suppress the anti-Christ behaviors in Wall Street which might incur more anger of God in the form of huge financial losses.

Finally check the rapid growth of the credit derivative market and the credit default swap (CDS) market, as Lehman Brothers has more assets in CDS than Bear Sterns had.

Rapidly expanding in these years along with subprime loan business, the credit derivative market and the credit default swap (CDS) market have now the size over $33 trillion (U.S. GDP is about $14trillion), respectively, while buying and selling risks on credits:

(Click to enlarge.)
http://www.fsa.go.jp/singi/singi_kinyu/s_group/siryou/20070510/01-2.pdf

Solution Mr. McCain or Mr. Obama should present must include prohibition on reliance on CDS, because some experts point at CDS as a key factor to the recent financial crisis triggered in Wall Street after exposure of subprime-loan frauds.



SECTION II: DECLINE OF THE DOLLAR

Though I have not seen CNN or BBC TV programs nowadays due to some contractual issue, Mr. Paul Krugman made a TV appearance and wrote some on it:
----------------------------------------------------
September 16, 2008, 2:15 pm
Larry King not so live

So last night I was on Larry King Live, dressed in my TV-from-the-Princeton-studio uniform: dress shirt, jacket, tie, shorts, and sandals (the camera doesn’t pan below the belly button). With me, Andy Serwer of Fortune and Stephen Moore of the WSJ.

Moore offered an argument I hadn’t heard before. The reason I hadn’t heard it that it’s really, really stupid. Our financial problems, he said, are caused by the falling dollar, which has reduced the value of American assets. It’s hard even to know where to start on that. But, um, we’re talking about balance sheets here; by and large the United States has liabilities in dollars (e.g., Chinese holdings of agency debt), while we have many assets that are, effectively, in foreign currency (Ford Germany is worth more when the euro rises against the dollar). So America’s balance sheet improves when the dollar falls, which is actually a major issue in international macro modeling.

Plus, the weak dollar is good for exports, which are about the only source of strength our economy has.

But the WSJ crowd is deeply attached to the idea that a strong dollar = a strong country (and if you believe in America, you believe that asset prices only go up, too). So reason has no impact….

http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/
----------------------------------------------------

Yes, unlike the last Great Depression in late 1920’s, global citizens might be more plagued by the unstable foreign exchange market in the next Greta Depression.

To avoid a critical impact, the role of G7 will become all the more important despite adverse opinions based on poor observation of the one billion Chinese as a burden on the Chinese financial sector.

In addition, Mr. Krugman gave some clues to prospects of economic policy Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama would adopt:
----------------------------------------------------
Obama has called for expanded regulation, while McCain takes his advice from people like Phil Gramm, who helped create this mess. Plus McCain’s new line denouncing excessive executive bonuses makes no sense: Washington doesn’t set executive compensation! Unless McCain is willing to say what he’d actually do, it’s empty posturing.
----------------------------------------------------

Anyway, I wish that Mr. Larry King would live long with his friends in New York.

And, Paul, they are talking about crude oil whenever they are bringing on the weak-dollar issue as the crude oil prices have globally come down since Wall Street stopped to infuse dollars in the oil market.



SECTION III: CONSCIENCE OF U.S. LIBERALS

Mr. Paul Krugman wrote the book "The Conscience of a Liberal."

----------------------------
Product Description
America emerged from Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal with strong democratic values and broadly shared prosperity. But for the past thirty years American politics has been dominated by a conservative movement determined to undermine the New Deal’s achievements.

Now, the tide may be turning–and in The Conscience of a Liberal Paul Krugman, the world’s most widely read economist and one of its most influential political commentators, charts the way to reform.

Krugman ranges over a century of history and shows that neither the American middle-class nor the baby boomers grew up in the increasingly oligarchic nation we have become over the past generation evolved naturally: both were created, to a large extent, by government policies guided by organized political movements.

The Conscience of a Liberal promises to reshape public debate about American social policy and become a touchstone work for an entire generation.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/0739358669?tag=saloncom08-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=0739358669&adid=0YNJEHD0191EPNFC486N&

----------------------------

In short, Mr. Krugman found that there had been 30 year efforts from the Great Depression to 1950’s for the Federal Government to bolster lives of humble citizens, workers, laborers, and poor people in the United States.

This finding coincides with other results of non-nonsense research in that the aftermath of the Great Depression had ensued until the end of WWII or the damages brought by the Great Depression in the end of 1920’s had been finally conquered and wiped off in 1950’s.

However, the key point Mr. Krugman raised is a racial issue.

Put simply, as African Americans expanded the scope of their rights and social activities so widely through 1960’s and 1970’s (sometimes radically along with anti-Vietnam War movements), some European Americans came to fear of losing their dominance; Accordingly, the late Mr. Ronald Reagan exploited this mood among conservative European Americans, thus taking economic policies to make rich European Americans richer so as to be elected himself as U.S. President.

Since then, the gap between poor African or Hispanic Americans and rich European Americans has never showed a sign of diminishing.

Indeed, in order to preserve this gap, the upper class of European Americans would even accept the bankruptcy of Bear Sterns, Lehman Brothers, and Merrill Lynch if not A.I.G.

But, miscalculation and missteps can happen at any time in their financial and political operation, since the challenge far exceeds the level of their smartness.

And, frankly speaking, super-rich European Americans are a minority in the democratic country the United States of America.

Additionally, the above book is also introduced in Japan under a certain Japanese title meaning "The Gap Was Created."

Autumn is the season of art especially in Japan.

Many awards and prizes are being offered to various artists, players, and performers.

Of course, my photos can be appraised in future as one set of symbolic works of art in the early 21st century.

(So, if you are taken into a picture by EEE Reporter, it may have a huge value in future, though probably after we are gone.)

It is not a matter of superficial techniques and decorations but something that cannot be measured and analyzed with a brain contaminated by money.

Indeed, there are many Europeans, Americans, Chinese, Indians, and Russians working in the financial sector in Tokyo without uncontaminated brains.

That is why I am telling you not to trust super-rich men in Tokyo, without mentioning those in London, New York, and Shanghai.

It is because they cannot even interpret Chapter 9 of the Revelation of the Bible.

EEE ESTIMATION: MAX $2.4 TRILLION LOSS

(After Floods, Japan)


EEE ESTIMATION: MAX $2.4 TRILLION LOSS



The latest debacle in Wall Street might decisively influence the U.S. Presidential Election.

At least, I suppose, the Clintons will lose their influential position.

Mr. McCain is not a type of Wall Street guys but Mr. Obama can be.

Yet, tax reduction might be needed for poor house owners all the more than rich people who will surely keep their houses despite this turmoil in Wall Street.

You may find a drastic change in popularity ratings for both the parties after Sept. 15. 2008, since it can be comparable to the 9/11 Terror in terms of the scale of financial influence, no matter how great speech the Presidential candidates would deliver.



SECTION I: Profligacy in Tokyo and Crash in New York

Yes, in Japan, too, the media were astonished to hear the news from Wall Street as I observed last night.

Who expected, before Sept.11, 2008, that Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch like two gigantic towers would fall at the same time so suddenly?

From a viewpoint of followers of Jesus Christ, any companies in Wall Street behaving like the Mafia are anti-Christ.

-------------------------------------------------------
In New York, on September 15, 2008, shortly before 1 a.m., Lehman Brothers Holdings announced it would file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, although its subsidiaries will continue to operate as normal.[46] The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) suspended Lehman's Australian subsidiary as a market participant however, after clearing-houses terminated their contracts with the firm.[47]

Lehman Brothers (LEH) shares tumbled 80% in U.S. pre-open trade.[48][49] The Dow Jones closed down 500 points on September 15, the largest drop since the days following the attacks on September 11, 2001.[50] The conditions on Lehman's trading floors that day appeared grim, a third of the sales force were absent and those that did come had brought their resumés, along with pizza, beer and tequila.[51]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehman_Brothers


On Wednesday, the prestigious securities firm announced a quarterly loss of nearly $4 billion, much more than investors had been expecting.

That's after a Korean bank said Wednesday morning that it had ended talks about buying a stake in Lehman….

from The Associated Press
Banks were in tense talks to create a pool of money worth up to $100 billion to lend troubled financial companies, the official said on condition of anonymity because the discussions were ongoing…

Barclays and Bank of America were considered front-runners to buy Lehman, which is foundering under the weight of $60 billion in soured real estate holdings….

The deal was tripping on the potential buyers' insistence that they receive the same kind of help that Bear Stearns Cos. got last March when JPMorgan Chase & Co. bought the securities firm with a $29 billion Fed-backed loan.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has said the government will not help close a Lehman deal, and it was clear late Sunday he was not budging….

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94449416&ft=1&f=1006
-------------------------------------------------------

In Tokyo, young Americans and British working in subsidiaries of foreign businesses, such as Lehman Brothers or Merrill Lynch, are said to be behaving like super-rich men, approaching to and cajoling young, innocent, good-looking Japanese women with an intention to treat them like whores or prostitutes.

In fact, there are some books and reports published on their immoral behaviors in Tokyo.

And, finally, their sources of wealth have been hit hard in New York probably by the Angel of Revelation.

If those young Americans and British working in subsidiaries of Wall Street companies had behaved well in Tokyo, I might have felt more sympathy for those financial sector workers.



SECTION II: ANALYSIS PRODUCING $2.4 TRILLION

There is a very useful Internet site in Japan reporting on the housing industry of major countries.

According to their report:
- In terms of the size of the housing market, the U.S. is No.1 and Japan is No.2 among developed countries.

- Till the middle of 1990’s, the number of houses newly built in the U.S. had been the same as that in Japan.

- However, since 2000, the growth of the housing market in the U.S. has been far beyond expectation with 2 million houses newly built and 6 million existing homes in circulation in 2004.

( http://www.reform-apple.com/html/inport/import-2005.10.html )

Then, in these five years 10 million houses must be newly built in the U.S.

If the half of owners of them, namely 5 million people, cannot meet their liabilities and the average amount of the default is 300,000 dollars including credit capability, the total default amount will be 1.5 trillion dollars.

In addition, if one sixths of existing-house owners, namely 1 million people, fail to pay their loans and the average amount of the default is 100,000 dollars including credit capability, the total default amount will be 100 billion dollars.

Therefore, the grand sum of the whole housing market crisis can reach 1.6 trillion dollars including credit capability.

If it is leveraged through securitization and a multiplier is 1.5, the expected loss can be $2.4 trillion.

I think this $2.4 trillion is the largest amount ever estimated since the news on the subprime loan crisis started to circulate in the general public in these quarters.


SECTION III: IMPLICATIONS

Conclusion is crystal clear: the anger of God upon Wall Street.

Yet, we have to check related figures of U.S. economy to comprehend situations:
GDP (PPP)……$13.81 trillion (2007)
Exports……. $1.149 trillion f.o.b. (2007 est.)
Imports……. $1.985 trillion c.i.f. (2007 est.)
Gross External Debts….. $13.77 trillion (30 June 2008)
Public debt…. $9.67 trillion (September 2008)
Revenues……$2.568 trillion (2007)
Expenses….. $2.896 trillion (2007)

So, now you know the expected maximum scale of the negative influence on U.S. economy, $2.4 trillion, is not a matter of nonsense, since it matches one sixth of U.S. GDP.

Yet, the real possible crisis is that failure in derivative transactions will erode the net assets of U.S. citizens, since they are now getting closer to $200 trillion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States


On the other hand, poor people are so many in the number:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
According to UNICEF, 30,000 children die each day due to poverty. For the 1.9 billion children from the developing world, there are 640 million without adequate shelter, 400 million with no access to safe water, and 270 million with no access to health services.

http://www.gfwc.org/content_747_page2.cfm
--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you try to save the world by giving $10,000 to each of 640 million poor people without adequate shelter in the world, you just need $6.4 trillion.

I mean if all the American home buyers and owners give up their expenses and credit capability related to their possession of homes and houses, still they lack $4 trillion to save the whole world following the wish of the God Almighty. To fulfill it, you have to still transfer one third of U.S. GDP to this holy project.

In summary, the U.S. cannot save the world with its financial power alone.

You have to turn to the real power existing somewhere on this planet capable of addressing the issue of saving the world.

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

That is why I am telling you that if your friend has become so rich in connection with Wall Street and you are still his or her friend, the God will not like you.

Tell him or her to leave Wall Street if he or she wants to be still your friend.

You may, indeed, lose a rich friend, being rich for the time being, but you will not lose whatever little favor you have now from the God, in my humble opinion.

So, do not let me be misunderstood.

I am not such a man as would succumb to temptation of amenity and comfort the Devil provides in a big and gorgeous house.

But, if you do not succumb to temptation of amenity and comfort the Devil provides in a big and gorgeous house, I don’t mind if you live there, since it is what the Pope is expected to do in the house of Emperor in Rome.

EEE Miracles


You may think that God has nothing to do with you, while you do not know why you were born at a certain point of the human history.

You might not have been born, if the God so wishes.

That is why I am praising God with my acknowledging all the miracles happening around me in these days, though I am just a poor man living so poorly.

Truly I am not a president of a railroad company, the president of a nation, a defense minister or a parliament member, or an executive in the financial sector or a TV business.

But just an inhabitant living in a city overlooking a holy river.



SECTION I: Railroad Accident in Los Angeles

If you have friends in Los Angeles, the accident must have been very shocking to you, though a bus fallen from a cliff in Sichuan Province, China, took about 50 lives and terror bombings in New Delhi claimed scores of lives yesterday.

-----------------------------------------------
Metrolink officials say trains crashed after their engineer drove through red light

Federal transportation officials say it's too early to determine what caused the crash that has killed at least 25 people and left 135 more injured, 40 of them critically.

-----------------------------------------------

Last week, I displayed rather somber scenery taken from a running train and at a railroad station around Tokyo.

Some of viewers must have been alerted to implications of red signs and signals displayed on pictures, since I usually avoid display of such uncomfortable elements in a scene in the picture corner of this blog.

Indeed, a big train accident occurred in Los Angeles taking lives of 25 people.

I believe there are still some non-nonsense viewers of EEE Reporter in Los Angeles who could evade this kind of tragedy through his or her belief in the Gospel and EEE Reporter.



SECTION II: Mr. Kim of North Korea Disabled

Is this a result from some clandestine operation of a ceratin country or divine justice?

-----------------------------------------------
Chinese doctors performed surgery on N. Korean leader after stroke

BEIJING, Sept. 14 KYODO
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il collapsed from a stroke on Aug. 14 and underwent surgery performed with help from five Chinese military doctors dispatched by China at North Korea's request, according to multiple Chinese sources.

The sources said that while Kim is recovering from the stroke, he is still experiencing problems in the functioning of his limbs, which is typical with stroke victims.

The state of politically fatal illness of Mr. Kim Jon-Il was globally revealed after I had and while I was writing a warning so many times to North Korea for their act of atrocity of abduction of Japanese citizens over these decades.

Accordingly, the Bush Administration abandoned the idea of diplomatically accommodating North Korea with expectation that President Mr. George W. Bush would score good points in his foreign policy just like the failed attempt by the Clinton Administration in the last days of their presidency.

Though President Mr. Bill Clinton finally and fatally failed in dealing with North Korea despite his Secretary of State’s visit to Pyongyang, President Mr. George W. Bush can avoid following suit owing to the recent information about disabling state of Mr. Kim Jong-Il.

There must be some serious readers of EEE Reporter among families of Japanese abductees, though they may be reading this blog in Japanese translation (Oh my Goodness!).



SECTION III: Japan’s Aegis Ship "Atago"

On Sunday morning, Japan Time, the Japan’s Aegis ship ATAGO found a suspicious submarine in the Pacific Ocean off Kochi City of the Shikoku Island.

Several months ago, I displayed pictures of Atago of Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force anchored at a naval port in Yokosuka City on the Tokyo Bay.

It was a few weeks after an accident that Atago hit and sank a fish boat.

But this time, officers and crew of this modern naval ship could well perform their duty, since the submarine yet to be identified seems to be a Chinese one.

Coincidentally, around Sunday, the five candidates for the presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, including two former Defense Ministers, were going on their collective campaign tour in Kochi City.

One of the former Defense Ministers is of course Ms. Yuriko Koike, the only female candidate for the LDP president who is promised to be elected as Japan’s Prime Minister in the parliament, for the LDP is a majority ruling party in the Lower House.

I like, as you suspect, the type of machine like Atago, since without it Russia would illegally arrest more Japanese fishing boats, North Korea would pursue more covert operations in Japan’s territorial sea, China would invade Japan’s Senkaku Islands, also known as Diaoyutai Qundao, in the East China Sea, South Korea would put a slur on Japan in any disputable incidents in the past history, and the United States would request to the Japanese Government more military bases and financial contribution to their military operation.

As for Ms. Yuriko Koike, if she is disqualified, all the female politicians or Diet members in Japan are also disqualified. Or which do you trust honest Ms. Koike or highly biased, elitist, or pretender female politicians of the liberal parties in Japan?

And, she is one of beauties of her generation who were educated and brought up when Japan was not so contaminated by American commercialism and European immorality, though she learnt in Cairo and interviewed the late Mr. Yasir Arafat when she was a TV reporter.

Anyway, this is not personal at all by way of caution.



SECTION IV: Lehman Brothers and Fuji TV

----------------------------------------------------------------
Bankruptcy

On September 13, 2008, Timothy R. Geithner, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York called a meeting on the future of Lehman, which included the possibility of an emergency liquidation of its assets.[37] Lehman reported that it had been in talks with Bank of America and Barclays for the company's possible sale.

Jeb Bush: Lehman’s Secret Weapon
Posted by Dana Cimilluca
In the arms race by private-equity firms to line up ever-higher profile “advisers,” Lehman Brothers may have just taken the lead.

According to a small handful of reports Friday, including this one in Investment Dealers’ Digest and another in Private Equity Hub, the investment bank has hired former Florida Governor and presidential son and brother Jeb Bush for its in-house investing arm.

No sign of an announcement from Lehman on the hire.

Private-equity firms hire politicos and former corporate honchos all the time to help them open doors to deals, as well as to manage government relations and the companies in their portfolios. Carlye Group chief David Rubenstein, in fact, discussed the increasing value of such moves in this Q&A published in The Wall Street Journal today.

No family these days has better door-opening skills in Washington or corporate America than the Bushes. The family of the 41st and 43rd presidents is no stranger to Wall Street either. Jeb’s father, George H.W., used to serve as an adviser to Carlyle, and his grandfather was a partner at Wall Street firm Brown Brothers Harriman.

It is the second corporate gig for the former Florida governor, who stepped down after two terms in January. He already has joined the board of Tenet Healthcare.

http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2007/08/27/jeb-bush-lehmans-secret-weapon/


In one of the most dramatic days in Wall Street’s history, Merrill Lynch agreed to sell itself to Bank of America for roughly $50 billion to avert a deepening financial crisis, while another prominent securities firm, Lehman Brothers, hurtled toward liquidation after it failed to find a buyer, people briefed on the deals said.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I have been giving warnings on Mafia like behaviors of those involved in business conducted in Wall Street.

Even a few years ago, when Livedoor of Japan tried to actually purchase Fuji TV, a television station in Tokyo, I strongly warned those concerned for their anti-public behaviors supported by funds of Lehman Brothers.

I do not especially like the Fuji TV station, since they present immoral figures so often on air like other channels.

But, they have one nice building on the Tokyo Bay which looks like an artistic fortress in the eyes of classical warriors.

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

Last night, namely Sunday night in Japan though today Monday is a special national holiday in Japan to respect elders and the aged, I saw a British film on TV.

It featured huge floods that half submerged London.

Indeed, if the Arakawa River flowing into the Tokyo Bay floods, it is expected tens of thousands of Tokyo residents would be left dead.

That is why I am telling you that the Arakawa River is holy, as I have presented so much scenery along and around the Arakawa River water system.

You may suspect that your life is in God’s hands so critically, if not EEE Reporter’s at all from a religious point of view, in case that you are living in or staying at Tokyo.

Of course, to save souls as many as possible is my first priority since I live on the Kanto Plain just like so many Americans nowadays.

As mankind, it must be necessary for us to review justification to put US$ 5.5 billion to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), namely “the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons (one of several types of hadrons) with very high kinetic energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics.”

Specifically, scientists are trying to find a source of mass, weight, or gravity:
--------------------------------------------------------
The LHC should answer one very simple question: What is mass?

"We know the answer will be found at the LHC," said Jim Virdee, a particle physicist at Imperial College London.

The favoured model involves a particle called the Higgs boson - dubbed the "God Particle". According to the theory, particles acquire their mass through interactions with an all-pervading field carried by the Higgs.

The latest astronomical observations suggest ordinary matter - such as the galaxies, gas, stars and planets - makes up just 4% of the Universe.

The rest is dark matter (23%) and dark energy (73%). Physicists think the LHC could provide clues about the nature of this mysterious "stuff".

But Professor Virdee told BBC News: "Nature can surprise us... we have to be ready to detect anything it throws at us."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7604293.stm
--------------------------------------------------------

More specifically, when a proton (P) collides with another proton (P) standing still, an antiproton (P*) is created as follows:

P + P = P + P + P + P*

where P+P* = 0.

This is a world where commonsense is not the norm.

(Ex. 5 + 5 = 5 + 5 + 5 - 5 or 0 = 5 - 5, though "P" has more contents and meanings than a simple integer such as "5.")

Yet, I am afraid that mankind cannot correctly and righteously interpret any results from this LHC experiment, since mankind cannot still correctly and righteously interpret a result of the so-called "double-slit experiment" in quantum mechanics.

It can be illustrated as follows, though a "photon" is a state of a particle of a light, since energy of a light can be concentrated into one point in space or on a course where it flies at each moment:

-----------------------------------
When it became possible to perform that experiment, it became apparent that a single photon has its own wave front that passes through both slits, and that the single photon will show up on the detector screen according to the net probability values resulting from the co-incidence of the two probability waves coming by way of the two slits. When a great number of photons are sent through the apparatus one by one and recorded on photographic film, the same interference pattern emerges that had been seen before when many photons were being emitted at the same time.




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment
-----------------------------------

Before spending US$ 5.5 billion to LHC, we had better understand some mysteries on the nature of light, an electron, and other elementary particle that behaves like a wave when moving alone as a particle.

The key to understanding is of course a paradigm change.

If size and an amount of mass of a target object get extraordinarily smaller, you need paradigm change to correctly understand its behavior.

A shift from the Newton mechanics to the quantum mechanics is a change in paradigm needed in this atomic era; but it is still insufficient to fully recognize the world of the dimension of 0.000000000000001 meters.

I mean that if you alone are a core of an atom, other human being is roughly as large as 10,000 times the distance between the earth and the sun.

Then how can other human beings understand your behavior as a core of an atom? You may look like a particle or a wave to others according to an environment, since they are enormously large compared with you.


Yet, having discussed thus, what can mankind learn from this lesson in terms of love and peace?

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


That is all for today.

Indeed, interference patterns are interesting, though they look like concentric circles sometimes especially on a computer screen or a TV monitor....

Revelation, Armageddon, and Possible Catastrophe

(Railroads-Related Scenes in Japan)


Revelation, Armageddon, and Possible Catastrophe




Yes, the Revelation of the King James Version can be interpreted as prophesying the Sept. 11 Terror that occurred in 2001:
-------------------
Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Rev 9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

Rev 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

Rev 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
----------------------

No matter who Apollyon means, one woe must be the terror on the East Coast of the United States and two woes must be the Iraqi War and the Afghan War, since at the paragraph 9:14 it clearly indicated “the great river Euphrates.”

But, the prospect of the prophecy on this era is not rosy at all:

----------------------
Rev 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

Rev 9:16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

Rev 9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

Rev 9:18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

Rev 9:19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

Rev 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
----------------------

In short, wars using modern weapons, such as those the U.S. has abundantly, are expected to continue. On the other hand, related or involved countries, such as the U.S. and the U.K., will experience further degradation of morals.

Subprime-loan scheme type frauds will be further devised and carried out by Mafia-like businessmen in the global money market; even top leaders of nations will be openly engaged in fornication while their society is full of cases of divorce and domestic violence.

Yet, if not the global insurgents accompanied by armed conflicts and wars, the world can face the Armageddon-like catastrophe owing to the largest economic depression as happened in late 1920’s.

Wall Street's Greatest Crime
Blatant Ignorance of Market History
by Robert B. Gordon, Sc.D.
November 2, 2002

….

But the long standing crimes we are discussing will not end with layoffs forced by dwindling revenues. The crime of ignorance exists at all levels in the financial services industry from the newest college hires to the CEO's. Unfortunately, there are no laws protecting investors from the pervasive ignorance in Wall Street. And there are no agencies to raise a red flag such as exist for crimes of theft and fraud. The biggest problem of all is that this is truly a hidden crime, unrecognized and unpublicized. That is why I decided to write this essay and to wake up America to the criminals hiding in their midst.

….

Noted economist John Kenneth Galbraith wrote his stern warnings in "The Great Crash of 1929". It was published in 1955 about the time that the Dow had reached its former peak price. His recognition of the crimes of Wall Street is exemplified in the excerpts below:

Page 27: Conspiracy theories
"Even in such a time of madness as the late twenties, a great many man in Wall Street remained quite sane. But they also remained very quiet. The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil. Perhaps this is inherent. In a community where the primary concern is making money, one of the necessary rules is to live and let live. To speak out against madness may be to ruin those who have succumbed to it. So the wise in Wall Street are nearly always silent. The foolish thus have the field to themselves. None rebukes them."

So, from the last two lines we learn that, in addition to the crime of ignorance, still greater may be the crime of silence from those wise enough to recognize a mania.

Page 28: Unwise to be sane in an insane time
"Governments were either bemused as were the speculators or they deemed it unwise to be sane at a time when sanity exposed one to ridicule, condemnation for spoiling the game, or the threat of severe political retribution."

….

Elliott proved beyond all doubt that (1) stock waves represent the unthinking acts of crowds of investors, (2) stock waves cause booms and busts and finally (3) stock waves cause changes in moods in society.. The stock market affects social actions in the real world. Outside news events do not cause more than short term effects on the stock market. This is apparently too difficult a change in thinking for even our best minds in academia, Wall Street and government.

Ralph Elliott will some day receive overdue recognition for his great discovery. We now have conclusive evidence of its validity over 400 years of stock market history. The evidence is crystal clear……if anyone in Wall Street had this vital information before the events transpired, they were surely not publicizing it to anyone.

VERDICT: GUILTY AS CHARGED
No one in Wall Street will go to jail for plain ignorance or stupidity. There used to be a weeding-out process in corporations to prevent idiots from reaching the corner office on the top floor. For the moment, let's assume it is still there and the CEOs are all brainy and well educated. Did they know about the Elliott Wave prediction of the mania and double their sales force? Did some of them recognize the bubble and still order "full speed ahead"? We leave to our readers the task of trying to answer those questions.

…

Several readers have suggested the conspiracy theory that our leaders in Washington and Wall Street had full knowledge of the Mania and Crash but decided not to tell the public for fear of making the problem worse and creating a panic. If that is true then some of them must have read the classic books reported earlier. The truth from all of recorded history is that, in each and every past mania, the stock prices eventually dropped below the starting level. It is understandable that leaders would not want to see this information publicized. However, Elliott Wave experts continue to expect that the Dow index will eventually fall below 1000. One can only wonder what the state of our nation will be if and when that event occurs.

http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/gordon/2002/1102.html
--------------------------------------------------


There are many arguments on the Elliott Wave, though it has no scientifically proven underlying theory. It might just happen to match the past phenomenon in the stock market.

Yet, it can be a tip of an iceberg consisting of legitimate caveats and practical warnings to the general public as well as governments and sane or humane players in the global money market.

Even if the probability is just one to 100,000, any possibility and concern that the Armageddon-like catastrophe owing to the largest economic depression may happen in the near future is worth respecting.

There is no asserting at all that the Elliott curve will not guide the future trends of New York Stock Exchange indexes and oil prices in addition to gold and foods' prices.

Detailed Review on the Day of Destiny




It is September 11, 2008 today.

It has past seven years since the same day of 2001.

Yet, Mr. Osama bin Laden is at large while Mr. George W. Bush (and Mr. Dick Cheney) is in the White House.

However, no terror attacks have been successfully carried out on the mainland U.S. and overseas U.S. properties since September 11, 2001.

U.S. troops are now in Afghanistan and Iraq freely moving around and patrolling; the Saddam Hussein regime and the Taliban government have gone, though there are still strong insurgents in Iraq and even the revival of the Taliban dominance in some local provinces in Afghanistan.

U.S. voters are now ready for voting for anti-Iraqi War African-American Presidential candidate or a conservative female Republican Vice-Presidential candidate.

On September 11, 2001, the only mighty challenge for the U.S. is to protect the U.S. from Islamic terrorists.

On September 11, 2008, the year-long subprime loan crisis and high oil prices are added to the grave challenges the U.S. has to address, though these new problems can undoubtedly influence the whole world directly unlike the Islamic terror attacks on the U.S.

Yet, as the most mysterious part in the Gospel as the human story of Jesus Christ is the description on the day of crucifixion, we have to better review the day when the U.S. was crucified in terms of justice as well as national security.

---------------------------------------------------------------
...
Bush’s appearance at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, on September 11, 2001 had been in the planning stages since August [Booker web site], but was only publicly announced on the morning of September 7. [White House, 9/7/01] Later that same day, 9/11 hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi traveled to Sarasota and enjoyed drinks and dinner at a Holiday Inn only two miles down the sandy beach from where Bush was scheduled to stay during his Sarasota visit. [Longboat Observer, 11/21/01, Washington Post, 1/27/02]

…

Bush awoke a little before 6:00 a.m. on September 11, pulled on shorts and an old T-shirt and laced up his running shoes. [CBS, 11/1/02] At 6:30 a.m., Bush, a reporter friend, and his Secret Service crew took a four-mile jog in the half-light of dawn around a nearby golf course. [Washington Post, 1/27/02, Washington Post, 09/11/01]
At about the same time Bush was getting ready for his jog, a van carrying several Middle Eastern men pulled up to the Colony’s guard station. The men said they were a television news crew with a scheduled “poolside” interview with the president. They asked for a certain Secret Service agent by name. The message was relayed to a Secret Service agent inside the resort, who hadn’t heard of the agent mentioned or of plans for an interview. He told the men to contact the president’s public relations office in Washington, DC, and had the van turned away. [Longboat Observer, 9/26/01]

…

The Secret Service may have foiled an assassination attempt. Two days earlier, Ahmed Shah Massoud, leader of Afghanistan’s Northern Alliance, had been murdered by a similar ruse. Two North African men, posing as journalists from “Arabic News International,” had been requesting an interview with Massoud since late August. Ahmad Jamsheed, Massoud’s secretary, said that by the night of September 8, “they were so worried and excitable, they were begging us.” An interview was arranged for the following day. As it began, a bomb hidden in the video camera exploded, killing the two journalists. Massoud was rushed by helicopter to a hospital in Tajikistan, but was pronounced dead on arrival (although his death was not acknowledged until September 15).

…

If Bush wasn’t told while in his limousine, he certainly was told immediately after he got out of it. US Navy Captain Deborah Loewer, the director of the White House Situation Room, was traveling in the motorcade when she received a message from an assistant back in Washington about the first crash. Loewer said that as soon as the car arrived at Booker, she ran quickly over to Bush. “It’s a very good thing the Secret Service knows who I am,” Loewer later said. She told Bush that an aircraft had “impacted the World Trade Center. This is all we know.” [Catholic Telegraph, 12/7/01, AP, 11/26/01]

…

Chief of Staff Andrew Card was in a nearby room when he heard the news. He waited until there was a pause in the reading drill to walk in and tell Bush. [Washington Times, 10/7/02, Washington Times, 10/8/02] The children were getting their books from under their seats to read a story together when Card came in. [Daily Mail, 9/8/02] Card whispered to Bush: “A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack.” [San Francisco Chronicle, 9/11/02] Another account has Card saying: “A second plane has hit the World Trade Center. America is under attack.” [Telegraph, 12/16/01] Accounts vary as to when Card gave Bush the news. Some say 9:05 [Salon 9/11/01, New York Times, 9/16/01 (B), Telegraph, 12/16/01, Albuquerque Tribune, 9/10/02], and some say 9:07. [Washington Post, 9/11/01, Washington Times, 10/8/02] ABC News reporter Ann Compton, who was in the room, said she was surprised by the interruption and “wrote [the time] down in my reporter’s notebook, by my watch, 9:07 a.m.” [ABC News, 9/11/02]

…

The reason given why Bush didn’t leave as soon as Card told him the news is: “Without all the facts at hand, George Bush had no intention of upsetting the schoolchildren who had come to read for him.” [MSNBC, 10/29/02] Advisor Karl Rove said, “The President thought for a second or two about getting up and walking out of the room. But the drill was coming to a close and he didn’t want to alarm the children.” [ABC, 9/11/02] This excuse is patently absurd, given the security risks and importance of Bush being informed and making decisions as Commander in Chief. Nor was the drill coming to a close: one drill had ended and another was about to begin—it was a perfect time to simply say, “Excuse me” and leave the room.

…

Once he was out of the classroom, did Bush immediately leave Booker? No. He stayed in the adjacent room with his staff, calling Vice President Cheney and National Security Advisor Rice, and preparing a speech. [Telegraph, 12/16/01, St. Petersburg Times 9/8/02] Incredibly, even as uncertain information began to surface, suggesting that more planes had been hijacked (eventually 11 planes would be suspected) [CBS, 9/11/02], Bush was allowed to make his remarks at 9:30—exactly the time and place stated on his advance schedule. [Federal News Service, 9/10/01, see the transcript of his speech here] Why hasn’t Bush’s security staff been criticized for their completely inexplicable decision to stay at the school? And why didn’t Bush’s concern for the children extend to not making them and the rest of the 200 or so people at the school terrorist targets?

…

At 9:16, NORAD was notified that Flight 93 had been hijacked, and at 9:24 it was notified that Flight 77 had also been hijacked and was heading toward Washington (though, as discussed above, the hijacking was known long before this). [NORAD, 9/18/01]

…

By 9:35, Bush’s motorcade was ready to take him to the Sarasota airport where Air Force One was waiting……Security conducted an extra-thorough search of all the baggage for the other passengers, delaying takeoff until 9:55. [St. Petersburg Times, 9/8/02 (B)]

…

Air Force One left Offutt around 4:30 p.m. [MSNBC, 9/22/01, CNN, 9/12/01, Telegraph, 12/16/01] and landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 6:34 p.m., escorted by two F-15 fighters and one F-16. [CNN, 9/11/01] Bush then took the Marine One helicopter to the White House [Salon 9/11/01], arriving shortly before 7:00 p.m. [CNN, 9/12/01, Telegraph, 12/16/01, AP, 8/19/02]

…

Around 9:00 p.m., Bush met with his full National Security Council, followed roughly half an hour later by a meeting with a smaller group of key advisors. Bush and his advisors had already decided bin Laden was behind the attacks. CIA Director Tenet told Bush that al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan were essentially one and the same. [Washington Post, 1/27/02]

Before going to sleep around 11:30 p.m., Bush wrote in his diary, “The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place today…. We think it’s Osama bin Laden.” [Washington Post, 1/27/02]

...

http://www.historycommons.org/essay.jsp?article=essayaninterestingday
---------------------------------------------------------------

The above site also reads:
Needless to say, in the anniversary hoopla, Bush and other leaders were described as “resolute,”“brave,”“strong,” and so forth. Even the minor level of media criticism just after 9/11 that led to several reporters losing their jobs was absent. The topic of Bush’s behavior on 9/11 has been barely mentioned in the media since.

However, what I want is detailed reports on behaviors on Sept. 11, 2001 of Mr. Barack Obama and Mr. John McCain as well as Mr. Joe Biden and Ms. Sarah Palin.

Were they resolute, brave, strong, and some such, too, on the occasion?

Until AlQaeda members and Mr. Osama bin Laden become friends of the United States, the U.S. will have to be engaged in the War on Terror.

And, no matter how much the ensuing subprime loan crisis and higher oil prices add other burdens on U.S. citizens as well as global consumers, the “War on Terror” is still hung on a huge and invisible but globally-sensed crucifix at the Pentagon and the World Trade Center.

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


I was working somewhere near Tokyo in the night of September 11, 2001, with a TV set turned on and tuned to a night news program.

First I thought it was a big fire in a public building in Washington D.C.

Then, I realized another big fire was happening in New York.

Indeed, I was working, facing a computer screen.

The TV report also said that the second plane hit another WTC tower.

At this point, I think I stopped the work and faced fully the TV screen.

I might have recalled then that on September 1, 2001, namely ten days before, a fire occurred in a small building containing pubs and shops in Shin-jyuku Ward, Tokyo, leaving 44 people dead.

It is because then I regularly worked near Shin-jyuku, though not for any entertainment business.

Whom I feel sorry for are millions of people who were alive before September 2001 but are not now all over the world.

And I hope that all of them are now in Heaven.

Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

Rev 9:12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

Rev 9:13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

Rev 9:14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

Mr. Kim of North Korea in a Grave State

(Somewhere in Japan)


Mr. Kim of North Korea in a Grave State




The mother of Ms. Megumi Yokota, one of Japanese abductees by North Korea, once wrote in her book that she saw in a dream her daughter who had been taken away by North Korean secret agents decades ago.

Ms. Megumi Yokota in her mother’s dream was riding on a bicycle on a concrete floor of a bleak building with a kind of Christian symbol somewhere, according to my memory of reading the book.

And, in my room, I have still pictures of some Japanese abductees put up on the frame of a book shelf.

The pictures were made public when the then Japan’s Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi with the then Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Mr. Shinzo Abe carried out a very drastic blitz visit to North Korea for establishing a diplomatic relationship with North Korea and solving the Japanese abductees issue on September 17, 2002, which are however unfortunately yet to be accomplished.



PART 1: Reports on North Korea’s Military Parading

From last night to this morning and midday, Japanese TV stations delivered news on Chairman of North Korea Mr. Kim Jong-Il.

Mr. Kim Jong-Il did not turn up for the military parade held in Pyongyang celebrating North Korea’s 60th anniversary on Tuesday.

In the 50th and 55th anniversaries, he never failed in supervising the military parade from an observation gallery of a large building in the capital of the last Stalinist state on the earth.

-------------------------------------------------------
The official said Mr Kim had collapsed, but did not say when or how serious his condition was. He said he had not died.

But a North Korea official denied the reports, calling them "worthless".

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7607513.stm


US intelligence was "pretty confident" of its health assessment, the official said, saying a stroke "possibly is what it looks like now".

South Korea's largest daily newspaper, the Chosun Ilbo, said Kim, who is 66-years-old and believed to be suffering chronic illness, collapsed last month, citing a South Korean diplomatic source in Beijing.

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2008/09/2008991676296237.html
-------------------------------------------------------

Some Japanese journalists were surprised at a marching of a group of North Korean soldiers without arms on their hands.

Indeed, hundreds of them were carrying no automatic rifles while they looked like students or citizen’s militias in military uniform.

In the North Korean military parade, it is unthinkable that the main features are just female air-defense companies with humble anti-aircraft missiles and machine guns mounted on small trucks.

The military parade conducted yesterday was poor and cheap, according to a certain Japanese critic.

And, Mr. Kim Jong-Il, the Chairman of the North Korean Military Committee, was absent.

The only reasonable conclusion is that North Korean military leaders avoided any colorful displays of their defense power which could be interpreted in the worst case as celebrating the absence of Mr. Kim Jong-Il.

It is in line with some Confucian teaching, too. When a head of a state is in a grave condition, a showy ceremony and marching must be refrained from.



PART 2: Japanese Citizens Abducted by North Korea

When inaugurated as Prime Minister of Japan last year, Mr. Yasuo Fukuda announced that he would solve this problem while he was in office.

His recent decision to step down soon after a new prime minister is elected in the Diet has disappointed families of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea.

Yet, if Mr. Kim Jong-Il loses his power in the North Korean Government, there is a chance that new leaders in Pyongyang might consider early release of those Japanese abductees.

If so, Mr. Fukuda’s words can be judged to be coming true partly.

And, if so, the news on the new situations in North Korea will overwhelm the on-going presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan.



PART 3: The Future of North Korea

From a historical point of view, it is of course China that could influence North Korea in politics and economy as well as national security.

From the first century B.C. to the third century A.D., Han and other Chinese dynasties occupied and colonized the Korean Peninsula (but not any part of Japanese Islands).

Even today, China regards North Korea as its last defense line on the ground against the U.S.

The Korean War (1950 -1953) ended without unification of the North and South Koreas. But the largest lesson China learnt in the War must be that General MacArthur tried to attack Chinese regions adjacent to North Korea with nuclear bombs.

If North Korea is absorbed by South Korea, due to the overwhelming economic power of the South, the U.S. might advance its military bases on the Korean Peninsula to a border area which is just 600 km or 400 miles east of Beijing.

Though China and the U.S. are very in good terms nowadays as China is investing big funds in the U.S. money market and the housing loan industry, if a kind of civil war is set off in China for more freedom and democracy, the presence of U.S. military forces so close would be a true threat for the Chinese Communist Party.

Therefore, China will try at any expense to keep North Korea off South Korea and the U.S. even if Mr. Kim Jong-Il should disappear or lose his power.

Yet, it is also reasonable for China to request new North Korean leaders or a successor of Mr. Kim Jong-Il to release Japanese abductees as soon as possible so as to maintain good relationships with Japan and the U.S., while Chinese economy needs continued support from advanced industries of Japan and the United States.

But, a chance looks so slim for North Korean insurgents, if any, to launch a civil war, seize the power, and abolish the present authoritarian government.

Until the Chinese Communist Party is driven out of Beijing and a truly democratic party starts to govern China, North Korea will not be able to find a chance to become a free and democratic country like South Korea.


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

In March 1944, the Empire of Japan completed the building of a huge hydraulic power plant in North Korea which was then part of the Empire.

The power generation capacity of the Sui-Hou Dam was 600,000 kilo watts while the total power generation capacity of the Empire of Japan then was 2,800,000 kilo watts.

The dam survived WWII and the Korean War; it is still believed to be operated as one of the largest energy sources of North Korea.

( http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B0%B4%E8%B1%8A%E3%83%80%E3%83%A0 )

This is one example for the characteristics and the way of “colonization” by the Empire of Japan.

Unlike Western powers, the Empire of Japan really invested a great amount of money and resources into its occupying territories outside the Japanese Islands so as to promote modernization in those Asian regions left behind the Era until the end of WWII.

If Western journalists and pundits think that “colonization” by the Empire of Japan is similar to that by the U.K., France, and other European powers, they are completely wrong.

The Empire of Japan was not so cruel at all as the British Empire was in Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia.

As a proof, Korea and Taiwan have each become a global economic power today, while India among former British colonies alone is gradually expanding its industrial modernization nowadays due to the IT boom.

In summary, North Korea had better release Japanese abductees and tie up with Japan for launching new development of its land, since only the Empire of Japan could build a very useful and powerful hydraulic power plant in the Korean Peninsula before the end of World War II.

RECENT MIRACLES

(The Japan’s Greatest River TONE, north of Tokyo)


RECENT MIRACLES


Miracles are not necessarily accompanied by anger, especially human anger of any saint.




MIRACLE 1: Resignation of Japan’s Prime Minister

It is very close to a miracle, since a rare thing that happened in Tokyo last year is now being repeated.

Nobody thinks that the Japanese Prime Minister can be such a fool as would give up his duty as well as honor and high status so easily, while his predecessor was blamed so much when he gave up his duty as well as honor and high status so easily just a year ago.

Last year exactly in September, when the then Prime Minister of Japan suddenly quit his job while the national legislative assembly had been just convened for his request, the Japanese people got shocked and then blamed the Prime Minister so gravely.

This year again in September, the Prime Minister of Japan suddenly announced that he would quit his job while the national legislative assembly was scheduled to be convened in a few weeks, so that the Japanese people got shocked and has now started to blame the Prime Minister so gravely.

Critics say, “How foolish Prime Minister Fukuda is! He has not learnt any lessons from his predecessor Mr. Abe! In two consecutive years, two Japanese Prime Ministers have abandoned his duty for reasons hard to understand and accept!”

Yet, there cannot be such a fool in this world.

There cannot be such a fool as cannot understand that he would be blamed and laughed at so badly, if he, as prime minister of Japan, quits his job the way his predecessor did a year before to be blamed so badly.

It is graveness of the political influence of the New Komeito Party (NKP), the third largest political party in Japan, who has virtually forced the Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda to announce his planned resignation.

It is said that if you blame the Komeito Party in a TV program or a radio show, you will be put on a black list and never be given a chance to make an appearance in the mainstream media.

You can blame and laugh at the president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, namely Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Yasuo Fukuda, without a fear for being put on a black list and purged from the mainstream media.

But, it is said if you blame and laugh at the supreme leader of Soka Gakkai, Mr. Daisaku Ikeda, you will surely feel a strong fear for being put on a black list and purged from the mainstream media, since Soka Gakkai is a Buddhist sect whose political branch is the New Komeito Party.

The issue is that the LDP can only hold the reins of government as long as they are helped by the NKP and Soka Gakkai, since the present Japanese election system is very advantageous to the NKP and Soka Gakkai.

That is why the smart man, Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda, has decided to quit his job as he has sensed that the NKP and Soka Gakkai are going to dissolve the coalition with the LDP and join the largest opposition, the Democratic Party of Japan, sooner or later, since every opinion survey and research tells that a regime change is going to happen in Japan through the next general election.

It is because the NKP and Soka Gakkai are more than implicitly requesting the LDP to change its head, namely Mr. Fukuda, before the next general election which they are also requesting to be conducted as early as possible.

So, Mr. Yasuo Fukuda is not a fool at all.

It shows the graveness of anti-democratic characteristics of the NKP and Soka Gakkai.

It might be really illustrating the graveness of anti-Christ characteristics of the NKP and Soka Gakkai.

Any religious body should not directly take part in the national politics and administration especially in responsible, advanced and developed countries, since a worldly religious body often loves to resort to violence and terror of whatever sort to secure their worldly interests, just like in the case of AlQaeda today and the Vatican hundreds years ago, should it, Your Eminence?



MIRACLE 2: MR. BARACK OBAMA

He is a miracle guy.

Even Japanese journalists and pundits are amazed at his dazzling success so far.

Some are openly praising Mr. Barack Obama, citing his words and opinions as well as other descriptions in his book.

It is truly a kind of miracle.

But, what has he achieved?

He was not even in Washington D.C. and New York when the 9/11 Terror happened.

Then, whatever he said in the wake of the Terror must not be regarded as having been expressed from a standpoint of a nationally or globally responsible man.

What Mr. Barack Obama must have done is to make it clear to the general public why the 9/11 Terror happened.

What Mr. Barack Obama must have done is to go to Afghanistan and find and talk with Mr. Osama bin Laden.

What Mr. Barack Obama must have done is to go to Iraq and find and talk with Saddam Hussein.

What Mr. Barack Obama must have done is to go to Pakistan and find and talk with supporters for the Taliban and AlQAeda in the Pakistani Government.

What Mr. Barack Obama must have done is to go to Saudi Arabia and find and talk with Saudi supporters for some influential Pakistanis who backed the Taliban and AlQAeda.

What Mr. Barack Obama must have done is to present the truth of historical incidents involving the British Royal Family, the Saudi Royal Family, and Mr. Adnan Khashoggi and the likes.

As for U.S. domestic issues, as Mr. Barack Obama has no ancestors who lived in slavery in the United States 150 years ago, I don’t think he is one of glorious Americans, namely African Americans, from whom a true leader for the new Reformation should emerge, since Jesus Christ was truly one of Israelites.

Mr. Barack Obama is, strictly speaking, just a man of mixed races but not a pure and glorious African American, though I would refer to him as an African American for convenience and friendship.

Yet, if Mr. John McCain is elected as U.S. President, it might be regarded just as reasonable, since at least one Vietnam War veteran must have been promised future U.S. Presidency to for his sacrifice in risking the life for the United States of America.

In other words, where were you Barack, while John had been in Vietnam?

Nonetheless, I do not think that Mr. Barack Obama is anti-Christ, Rush.


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


I know only a few in Japan who have dared to publicly request the New Komeito Party and Soka Gakkai to withdraw from national politics, since such courageous persons would be surely purged from the mainstream of the media and the society by covert activities of the New Komeito Party and Soka Gakkai.

But, as Japan’s Prime Minister Mr. Fukuda has abandoned his duty due to dubious political strategy of the New Komeito Party and Soka Gakkai, we have to think of necessity of issuing such a request so openly.

It is because it is apparent that now the New Komeito Party and Soka Gakkai are acting against the national interests of Japan, since Prime Minister Mr. Fukuda is forced to announce his scheduled resignation.

Likewise, if the mafia in Wall Street is behind Mr. Barack Obama, somehow similarly in the alleged case of JFK, you have to think of reviewing how Christian Mr. Barack Obama is.

It is because it is apparent that President Mr. Obama is to act against spiritual interests of American Christians since Jesus Christ said, “Serve people without any title and position (such as U.S. President)!”

Having spoken thus, however, I have no objections to the New Komeito Party’s and Soka Gakkai’s exercising their political rights based on the Japanese Constitution since they are genuine Japanese.

Having spoken thus, however, I have no objections to U.S. voters’ voting for Mr. Barack Obama since he is a genuine American.

Last winter, in the southward night sky, I saw on the Pleiades a miracle at least twice:

Job 9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

Job 9:10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

Job 9:11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

Job 9:12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?

Job 9:13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
