Real Change and Collateral Tragedy

Real Change and Collateral Tragedy

(Véritable changement et accompagnement tragédie)




SECTION I: Changes and Victims in and around the U.S.

For example, Abraham Lincoln won the Civil War, leading to a new era and bringing about a big change.

Then Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.

Gandhi led India to winning independence from the U.K., bringing about a big change.

Then Gandhi was assassinated.

John Kennedy became the first Catholic US President, bringing about a big change.

Then JFK was assassinated.

Martin Luther King Jr. became the first African American Nobel Prize Winner and led the big social change forcing President Lyndon Johnson to admit it.

Then Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

The Reagan-Bush Administration put an end to the Cold War, bringing about a big change.

Then, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, influencing many Arabs including Mr. Osama bin Laden. Later Saddam Hussein was executed and Mr. Osama bin Laden has become an enemy of the U.S.

Mr. Bill Clinton advertised a big change, actually bringing about it in the money market.

Then AlQaeda began to plan the 9/11 terror, which was however conducted in 2001 triggering wars taking so many lives of Muslims and Christians.

When the U.S. has its first female President or its first African-American President, thus bringing about a big change, some horrible things might happen in the U.S. and in the world.

Are people concerned, including, say, New York Times editors, well prepared for that?

Only for the reason to avoid such tragedies, you might like to vote for, say, Mr. Mitt Romney in the Presidential Election, though probably I won't if I have a right for vote.

(Of course, EEE Reporter might be involved in such tragedies. But, in the case, whoever can be involved in my view, since God is almighty.)


SECTION II: Big Change in Japan Expected

In 1868, after the civil war in Japan, the Tokugawa samurai regime lost the political power and the hegemony in Japan.

They had gone forever.

In 1945, after the defeat in WWII, the Imperial Military lost the political power and the hegemony in Japan.

They had gone forever.

In 2007, there is a possibility that the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) of Japan might lose the political power and the hegemony in Japan.

But, it is still unlikely if they will have gone forever.

If before the G8 summit planned in Japan this July a general election is conducted, triggered by, say, the gasoline tax issue, there is a possibility that LDP will lose majority in the Lower House and thus fall from power.

In the case, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), as a major ruling party, will form the cabinet.

The point of issue is that we have had many victims in such turmoil.

When LDP lost its power but soon came back forming the cabinet in a tie up with a socialist party in early 1990's, some people concerned were really victimized in the political sector of Japan.

The then prime minister who had first taken power from LDP later lost his reputation due to some money scandals.

Even, in 1995 when a Japan's prime minister was a member of the socialist party supported by LDP, a great earthquake hit Japan killing 6,000 people and a sarin-gas terror was carried out by a cult in Tokyo injuring 6,000 people.

Recently when former Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi introduced a big change in the Japanese politics, some politicians, critics, officials, and even economists were reportedly victimized.

Only for the reason to avoid such tragedies, you might like to vote for LDP in the coming general election in Japan, though I don't know what I will do with my voting right.

(Of course, EEE Reporter might be involved in such tragedies. But, in the case, whoever can be involved in my view, since God is almighty.)


SECTION III: Enemy of God and EEE Reporter

Just like EEE Reporter had predicted months ago, some rich Americans and British lost big money recently due to the subprime loan problem.

But, the US Government, in a tie up with rich Americans and British, should not become an enemy of God or Allah and EEE Reporter.

Japanese ruling parties and officials in power, in a tie up with rich Americans and British, must not be an enemy of God and EEE Reporter from the fear of losing power.

EEE Reporter has simply suggested that the death of Princess Diana in 1997 gave a decisive cause to certain Muslims to carry out the 9/11 terror in New York and Washington DC.

EEE Reporter has simply suggested that if a Religious Revolution prevails among poor Americans, such tragedies will be avoided.

And, EEE Reporter is simply wishing that every Japanese citizen would be blessed by the God, which LDP and DPJ or any Japanese politicians and officials cannot do.

You must think twice or thrice before making enemy out of God and EEE Reporter.



(Now, you are safe perfectly, as I have declared so following the order of God, my dear.)


Mat 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Mat 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Red Card to Japan's Economic Boom in 1990's

Red Card to Japan's Economic Boom in 1990's

(Un Carton rouge au boom économique du Japon dans les années 1990)



SECTION I: Ginza, Ginza, Ginza, so High and so Proud

Last night they reported a planned closing of a small (Japanese style) pub in Ginza, Tokyo.

Ginza is the highest street, in a sense, in Japan with various commercial buildings and shops well-established or always modern and enjoying reputation for refined style. The street is rather near the first-rate business center Hibiya, the Tokyo Station, and the Imperial Palace, making Ginza streets all the more proud.

One 50-year old, humble wooden (Japanese style) pub is going to be closed once for all in Ginza, since a land owner has contracted for a development project.

Ginza has been always under development since Japan opened the door to the world in 1868 on the Meiji Restoration.

As Tokyo is for Japan, Ginza has been for Tokyo. Every rich citizen and happy and lucky people go shopping and drinking in Ginza.

Anyway, the small pub has an atmosphere of the age depicted by the Japanese movie "ALWAYS - San-choume-no-Yuhi" which has presented people and towns decades ago in Tokyo.

http://www.always3.jp/

The word "Gin-za" literally means a silver location, since they produced silver coins in the town during the Edo Period under the reign of the Tokugawa samurai clan.

Anyway, Tokyo is literally the greatest city in the world as the one built by a single race; so then Ginza is the highest street in the world as the one established by a single race in the human history.


SECTION II: True Reason for Japan's Recession in 1990's

First of all, you had better check two pictures of Tokyo presented in the following web site:
http://www.financial-j.net/blog/

The aerial pictures cover the area around the Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace in 1964 and 2007, respectively.

Tokyo has been under development without interruption. In 1964, however, almost no buildings could be called a skyscraper, partly due to restrictions officially posed out of consideration to earthquakes Tokyo has to suffer so frequently. But, now there are many buildings three to four times higher than those having been built decades ago.

If the economic growth in Japan had changed only the outlook of big cities, there might have been no serious problems.

The size of Japan is almost as large as that of California; but the number of people who live there corresponds to almost 40% of the US population.

(Imagine if all the Americans living in the west of the Mississippi River are ordered to move to, and live in, California!)

Therefore, if Japanese people exercise the same destructive power of material civilization as Americans do, its inhabitable plains would be full of houses, collective housings, parking areas, office buildings, public facilities, factories, power plants, structural roads, rail roads and stations, air ports, and various vehicles, while filling up every paddy field, rice field, and dry agricultural field.

The destructive power of the material civilization would also invade the woods, forests, and mountains of Japan.

(Woods, forests, and mountains account for 67% of the Japan's land.)

It is what had actually happened during the bubble economy preceding the depression in 1990's.

However, as the woods, forests, and mountains of Japan are a kind of holy and spiritual places for Japanese traditions and Japanese race including the Ainu people, it means the destruction of the spirit and the soul of the Japanese race.

Therefore, the too-violent and too-mean economic boom in the late 1980's and early 1990's must have been stopped in order to save the nature of Japan and the spirituality of the Japanese people.

This is the true reason for Japan's recession in 1990's.

Indeed, we had found many criminal acts involving big money in 1990's that told deterioration and contamination of the minds and hearts of the Japanese people.

In order to save the minds and hearts of the Japanese people, the progress of Japanese economy must be slowed down even today, if necessary.

Far before this CO2 boom, I really thought that destruction of the nature of Japan must be stopped; and the God heard my wish, though the people could not understand it while resorting to useless resistance leveraging the money market until this day.


SECTION III: Revolutions in China and America so Expected

Mr. Paul Harvey today said, in the FEN radio channel, that China recorded 11% economic growth in 2007 catching up with Germany in terms of GDP.

The famous radio host said, "China is now close to the world No.3 country Germany in terms of GDP but you know who the top is."

Indeed, China will soon become world No.3 owing to a help from Japan who is still No.2.

But, unlike Japan, there seems to be nobody in China who would rather stop the economic growth in order to save the nature and the spirituality of the people.

Mr. Paul Harvey should learn how much Japan has supported China's economic growth in these decades as well as how much Chinese have destroyed and contaminated their land, the nature, and the minds and hearts of the people.

Sooner or later, there will be another political revolution in China due to the above said destruction.

Mr. Paul Harvey also mentioned the Pope as well as a Hitler's mentor in philosophy who had however lived 100 years before, while such topics are rarely taken up in the Japanese media as the paradigm of political continuation from the era before WWII has been almost obsolete in this society unlike the U.S.

Sooner or later, there will be religious revolution in the U.S.
* * *

Now, we've come to Friday.

I hope that you will be a person worth receiving God's blessing in this weekend.

Having said so, May God bless you!



(Last night I really saw the full moon through the truly cold air between buildings.

Then I really saw something red, though it was not Mars.

Equipment around me has been working well.

But, I have also remembered that my TV set got paralyzed functionally when North Korea blasted a nuclear bomb, though so humble in its scale.

It may be a time to buy new machine.)

Acts of Conspiracy and Selling of Conspiracy Theory

Acts of Conspiracy and Selling of Conspiracy Theory

(Conspiration et Théorie de la conspiration)



SECTION I: Everybody with a Beaming Smile

The Nikkei Average Index of Tokyo Stock Exchange rebounded.

Everybody showed a beaming smile, or forcibly hid it as a personal style, in the TV news programs last night in Japan.

Half a day later, none in NYSE showed vinegary face, watching a yo-yo of price change resulting in a gain of nearly 300 points of the day.

The invisible hand of God might have been a key player in the market yesterday.

But, I wonder how many rich men repent.

When the God's hand is withdrawn, devils and demons so far dispersed will soon throw every kind of bad thoughts into the heads of people concerned.

And, the Great Money Game will go on...


SECTION II: Conspiracy Theory Reconsidered

If the 9/11 terror is an act of conspiracy planned and carried out by the US Government, this sub-prime loan fiasco could be an act of conspiracy by the US Government, too.

However, the latter cannot be an act of conspiracy of the US Government as the following data, posted in today's Yomiuri Shimbun Newspaper in Japan, suggests.

(Click for a large view; "EU" in the above table means actually West Europe.)

So, if it is an act of conspiracy of the US Government, they have to promise compensation of US$128.1 billion to the related financial institutes not only in the U.S. but also in Europe and Japan, which denies such a speculation.

I don't think that CIA and FBI launched the selling of the 9/11 terror conspiracy theory, for a specific and selfish reason, to diffuse it among people concerned.

I don't think that they launched the selling of the 9/11 terror conspiracy theory as a counter measure, since CIA and FBI failed to protect people and thus lost their face and confidence,

I don't think that CIA and FBI did so, in order not to be laughed at, derided, and looked down on.

I don't think that CIA and FBI did so, so that they would be rather afraid of than laughed at.

But, some people or organization who had been expected to cooperate with CIA and FBI in covert operations against AlQaeda but failed in preventing the 9/11 terror did launch the conspiracy theory, so that they would be rather afraid of than despised, in my view.

As they failed, they launched the conspiracy theory not to be laughed at.

But, the conspiracy theory is really harming the credibility of performance of CIA and FBI.

CIA and FBI should exercise strict control over those who are now diffusing the 9/11 conspiracy theory, even if they were their old friends.

Especially, if AlQaeda likes the 9/11 conspiracy theory, it may add another big trouble.

(Or, is which side AlQaeda is on in this context, the CIA and FBI or the people pursuing justice with a belief that the 9/11 was an act of Government's conspiracy?)



SECTION III: Oh, What a Year 2007 without Conspiracy

A Japanese blogger checked changes of the indexes of world sock markets during a whole year of 2007, as follows.

( http://napole.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2007/12/post_731f.html )
(Click for a large view)

Any non-nonsense conspiracy theory on the 9/11 terror should be concerned with this global money market trend.

It is because any conspiracy is done for big money ultimately.

And the big money is there now in the global money market, but not in the ghost of the WTC towers.

Therefore, big US banks suffering from big subprime loan-related losses might consider a conspiracy to take big money from the world stock markets, such as the one in China, India, Dubai, and Vietnam, as their selfish compensation.

It can be a true conspiracy beyond the level of 1997 Asian Financial Crisis that was actually rescued by Japan but not IMF or the financial sector of the U.S. or the U.K.


SECTION IV: Warning to Americans

Some Japanese have recently reported:
"American tourists in Japan said that the low interest rate in Japan had triggered the subprime loan problem; So, Japan should be to blame."

"In the economic slump in Japan in 1990's, Japanese were still working hard to sustain the economy. But, Americans today are trying to sustain their economy, just using computers to move money in and around various financial markets without physically working hard. They have lost something needed to be a leader in the world."

Indeed, in a situation where Japanese never consider resorting to an act of conspiracy, Americans might think about it for real.

It is not good for mankind.

The God must send a type of Angels to deal with Americans in that case.
* * *

To your astonishment, there are such disgusting priests and clergymen as neither understand nor believe spirit, Angels, and God.

They cannot understand what is invisible but holy.

However, they know that they have vocation in the business called religion, especially Christianity.

They know they can act and play a role of a pastor.

And, they are making money by exercising a title of the priest or the clergyman.

This is the most sinful and the saddest conspiracy an individual can be engaged in, if so secretly or perfectly.

And if in the religious business we can see so many disgusting fellows, we may naturally encounter any conspiracy in the money market, since it is directly linked with big money that can make people so crazy like the case of American farmers now growing corns for alternative fuels of cars instead for foods.

Indeed, using the term CO2 is a kind of conspiracy.

Truly, we have to use the term Crude Oil and Coal, since the burning of them is the real cause of global warming.


(That is why you are lucky if you are not working in the financial sector.

The more you earn money, the more you will lose ability to do right things.

That is why such a hugely rough means, namely a war, is used to solve a problem, since they lose ability to deal with the matter in a more sophisticated and humane manner.

Anyway, we need the reliable media so as not to be duped by a seller of a conspiracy theory, though there are so many acts of conspiracy in this world.

Indeed, I am telling you, from my humble experiences, that working in the media sector, including a TV station, is not only full of fun but also full of temptations into conspiracies or conspiracy theories.

Truly, I am wondering who can stand such temptation in a TV studio, my dear.)

SECTION I: Snowing Now, Baby

It is now snowing in and around Tokyo.

At last, weathermen and weatherwomen got back their credit, since they have been predicting the snowfall since last Sunday.


SECTION II: Oh, Come on! Old Friends

Chinese citizens interviewed on the street of Shanghai accused in real earnest of that Chinese manner or unmannerliness, if I may say so, their Government and American money market, as stock prices plunged.

A Japanese critic as well as a Hong Kong economist said that it was just a burst of the bubble in the Shanghai Stock Market.

But, when announcing a sharp decline of the Dow Jones Index, a pretty female news caster as well as a youthful male news caster, each in a different TV station in Tokyo, alike raised a pitch and a volume of their voice.

Indeed, between 5% and 10%, the global stock markets suffered a sharp fall of prices and indexes yesterday, including Tokyo Stock Exchange.

However, I have no intention to destroy the global money market, including New York Stock Exchange.

I don't think that the God has intention to destroy the global money market, including New York Stock Exchange.

But you had better refer to the transition of transactions there some time, for example:
http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=DJI&fq=D&ezd=1Y&index=5

And also refer to the historical chart below, while remembering that even a chairman of FRB once thought that it must have been 6,000 dollars instead of 10,000 dollars.

Indeed, rich men living on NYSE indexes can be humbler by one-third of their current arrogance index.


SECTION III: Sub-prime Loan Analysis, Folks

There are some who think that the 9/11 terror is an act of conspiracy by the US Government.

But, there are few who think that the sub-prime loan problem is an act of conspiracy by the US Government.

Which do you think costs more, the 9/11 terror plot or the sub-prime loan plot?

My advice is that you must assume that those experts both in national security and financial regulation lack some critical ability today instead that they have super ability to perform any plots today.

It is because that crazy increase in money has made their mind dull and mean, indeed so despicable.

Now, remember that as I wrote on December 12, 2007 in this blog:
If two million US citizens cannot pay, say, a 200,000 dollar loan each, the total default amount will be 400 billion dollars.

But, the total loss of major US financial companies during the third and fourth quarter in FY 2007 was just 89.6 billion dollars.

Even the total loss, including those in Europe and Japan, for the same period reached also just 134.6 billion dollars.

The fiasco is yet to be fully concluded.

It is also because now higher 10% of US households has an asset of one million dollars or more.

Of course, the number of lower 10% of US households is almost 7.5 million as with the richer 10%.

So, referring to my description on December 12, the scale of potential financial fiasco in the US society is estimated to be 1500 billion dollars (= 7.5 / 2 x 400 BN).

In addition, as the "monoline" credit-guarantee companies are losing their credit base, namely sub-prime loans, the US municipal bonds worth 430 billion dollars backed by them are going to face a big trouble.

(For a rumor on an effect on Japan, out of ill will or good will:
http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/japanese-financial-firms-may-have/story.aspx?guid={30313BBD-E177-43E8-BE0F-B26CB8AAB46A} ）

But most significantly, there is a horrible possibility that those upper 10% of US households may come to think that they can survive and get richer by buying lower priced stocks and other assets abandoned by the poorer if the Great Depression comes.

This is the most sinful plot, if a conspiracy is there in the sub-prime loan problem.

So then, they did not need the 9/11 terror conspiracy if they could do the sub-prime loan conspiracy in terms of making the rich richer and the poor poorer so as to monopolize the power in economy as well as politics.


SECTION IV: Points of Issue and Solutions, Gentlemen

The sub-prime loan problem caught a big attention when a rate of households that lost a solvency for their house loan jumped from 5% to 15%.

Everything then happened as a chain reaction through credit interdependence and unsupervised securitization for vast sales.

You cannot solve the problem trying to help, for example, Citibank Group (with a $28.6 bn loss) and Merrill Lynch (with a $22.5 bn loss) in the under-stream.

You have to concentrate on the upper stream of the problem.

As one of former FRB vice chairmen suggested today in a Japanese newspaper, the US Government should establish a public organization to buy a hosing loan and a home mortgage from each poor household.

As there are 10 million hardworking Hispanic (though yet not legal) in the U.S. today, the value of those houses will recover some time soon, say, in a decade, since they will like to buy even second-handed houses to live long in the U.S.

And, it is also expected in the near future that millions of Chinese and Indians will also come to America for sight-seeing and part time jobs; they will also like to buy even second-handed houses to live long in the U.S.

Indeed, the US Government should establish a public organization to directly buy a hosing loan and a home mortgage from each poor household at the brink of bankruptcy or losing their residence.
* * *

Now, the snow has stopped.

The NHK TV channel is live broadcasting parliamentary proceedings from the Diet Building in Tokyo.

Indeed, what is required of the US President is not physical energy and psychological toughness to carry out a Presidential Election Campaign for two years but physical strength and mental soundness to attend congressional sessions, hearings, and Q&A dialogues in the Congress every week being televised nationwide.

And, now, is it snowing in South Carolina, (gentle-)men?


(In 2007, nine million foreigners visited Japan.

Some of them may be actually viewing EEE Reporter.

But, how can they interpret Japanese TV news program?

The Japanese Government should think about internationalization of the Japanese language sooner or later.

It will lead to solving the mismatching of cultural value and the misunderstanding of the patriotic pride of the Japanese race in performing its traditions, including whaling and cherry blossom viewing.

Indeed, there is always a symbolical entity that represents, say, a nation or the divine power of a nation in addition to the beauty of its civilization.

[So, don't come back to Japan after buying a home in, say, Harlem, New York, the U.S. ])

SECTION I: Martin Luther King Jr. Day

"While America has made great progress over the decades since the civil rights movement, our journey towards equality is far from complete. "
- Texas Dem. Rep. Charles Gonzalez -

http://blog.thehill.com/

A Japanese woman who married an American has a blog to mainly advertise her business to guide Japanese tourists to the African American culture and the Caribbean American culture.

She recently reported that expensive condominiums have been being built in large amounts in Harlem, New York, one of which is presented in a picture in her blog as an example of distastefulness with a building name "Kalahari," since even an American magazine introduced the condominium as an example of distastefulness, according to her remarks.

http://nybct.jugem.jp/?day=20080117

I think that politics and entertainment are two wide gates to the so called "happiness" where you don't need God.

They had better find a narrow gate to God or Allah, otherwise you will not forever realize that everyone is "Black" in Harlem, New York, and America, since God allowed for the tragic but holy movement of African races to America in whatever context.

I think it is for God's glory to appear through a process of making All future Americans "Black" or "Colored."


SECTION II: Columbus and Da Vinci

Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 and died in 1506.

Leonard da Vinci was born in 1452 and died in 1519.

So, da Vinci lived 13 years longer than Columbus.

Da Vince must have heard of a rumor about the discovery of the new continent or West India, though Columbus died believing that he had reached the east end of Asia, since he wanted to get to the country of gold Japan.

Anyway, we have to review the history from a standpoint of a follower of Jesus Christ.

As the Vatican's attitude toward their Lord made the God angry, Islam was given to mankind around Mecca in 610 or so, on the assumption that Jesus had not been the Son of God as the Vatican's attitude literally meant that the Vatican did not regard Jesus as the son of God or the God.

But the God must have been also dissatisfied at development of Islam, though he had waited for 900 years till 1500.

Then, around 1500, the God or Allah decided to give a new continent or world to European Christians as a stage to develop their religion.

However, as Europeans had failed in promoting a sound development of the so called Christianity, God or Allah decided to move some Africans to the new continent America as future leaders of a new religion.

Therefore, the new religion the God or Allah expects to evolve, develop, and deploy in America should be called "African American Centric Christianity" or simply "Black Christianity." All the believers should be thus called "followers of Black Christianity," in which the key word is "Black."

Accordingly, all the Americans should be simply referred to as "Black" when this new religion is completed in future there in America.

But, what about Europe and European Christianity?

Indeed, they would have been forlorn in terms of faith, truly as the God found a need to give Islam to mankind in 610, since European Christianity failed in showing the utmost respect in arguing the Holy Trinity in Unity before 610.

So, every glory might have gone to America as Columbus discovered the new continent.

Truly, around 1940, German Nazis killed six million Israelites, which tells that the God was right when He gave Islam to people around Mecca because of failure of European Christianity before 610.

It was proven to be quite right, since 1300 years later Europeans killed six million Israelites, though Americans who had experienced their own Civil War rescued Israelite Europeans in WWII.

Indeed for this purpose the God allowed Columbus to discover America instead of Japan.

But, the benevolent God still gave a chance to Europeans to repent and come back to their right sense.

For that purpose, the God used Leonard da Vinci, allowing his work "Mona Lisa" to remain until the 21st century.

It is because Mona Lisa was the last example of truly pious Christians in Europe before the discovery of America.

When Columbus discovered America for future development of Christianity, Mona Lisa was painted and destined to be preserved as a proof of existence of pious Christians in the last age before the discovery of the New Continent, though the painter himself was profane.

Truly, as Leonard da Vinci could not understand Jesus Christ and God, he could not understand Mona Lisa who was so pious.

That is why Mona Lisa was mystery to da Vinci.

That is why Mona Lisa's smile was a mystery to da Vinci.

That is why we can today observe the feeling of de Vinci on the picture "Mona Lisa."

Yet, as there was such a pious woman, God allowed the Vatican to continue to exist even till this day.

But, after all, this enigma of 500 years is now solved through EEE Reporter on this day, since EEE Reporter could identify Mona Lisa through a very profound way along with the recent TV news report on a memo on Mona Lisa found in an old book stored in a library in Germany for centuries.

(For this merit, Germans will be blessed by the God, I believe. )

So, things will change, accordingly, while EEE Reporter has also discovered that America is destined to become "Black."


SECTION III: Prices of Gasoline

According to a blog of a Japanese lawmaker, the prices and related taxes in countries are as follows (unit: yen or US cent, almost):

Gasoline Prices
Country [fuel tax, etc.](other fees)--- retail price
......................................................................
JAPAN...<60.2> (74.8)...135

KOREA...<114.9> (84.3)...199.2　

UK...<149.6> (76.7)...226.3 　

GERMANY...<141.6> (77.5)...219.1　

FRANCE...<131.3> (77.6)...208.9

USA...<12.7> (83.6)...96.3 　

SWEDEN...<131.2> (79.7)...210.9

(http://blog.goo.ne.jp/toidahimeji/)

For those concerned with Japan, I just like to inform that the biggest issue in Japan is now this gasoline tax.

The ruling parties are trying to extend the effective period of a gasoline tax law that sets the current amount of the tax.

But, the Oppositions are trying to abolish the law and thus lower the tax by 25 yen or so.

This issue could lead to dissolution of the House of Representatives and thus general election, which would affect the G8 Summit to be held in Japan this year with a focus on CO2.

If you are living under the strong sun rays for hundreds of thousands of years, the color of your skin would become dark.

If you are living surrounded by golden rice for thousands of years, the color of your skin would become golden.

But, if you are living in the air full of exhausted gas out of burnt fossil fuels, such as coals and oil for hundred years, or even for ten years in a big city, the color of your skin would resemble that of coal or oil naturally.

Mankind is going brown or sun-tanned, at least under the last layer of the skin, as if being under the strong sun rays of 100 million years ago when coal and oil were live plants here and there.

CO2 is making us all brown and almost "Black" all over the globe.

It is very ironical, like da Vinci's painting of Mona Lisa.



(A female politician in Japan becoming the most news topics nowadays may be truly Ms. Yukari Sato.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukari_Sato)

She is losing her electoral regional base due to a policy change of the LDP which is now choosing other veteran female politician in the same electoral district for the next general election.

I feel something "Black" in her, not because she graduated from a grad school of the New York University, though she is 100% Japanese.

Indeed, a woman like Mona Lisa never enters politics as some Japanese critics have argued.

Or, Mesdemoiselles, do you like to compete with those elite Japanese ladies whose best age must be only in their university days, for I said so, since I went to a university, too.)

SECTION I: American Japanese Mr. Bill Totten

Mr. Bill Totten, a European American working in Japan since 1969, got Japanese nationality in September 2006.

He once often made a TV appearance speaking Japanese wit a bow tie, but as he has been recently clearly against policies of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, TV stations seem to avoid asking him to join their programs on air, which however does not seem to be fair.

He once described Ms. Condoleezza Rice as a very cold-hearted woman in a TV program, which impressed me somehow, though he is a senior person to the Secretary of State.

Once I read that he loves Kyoto and has a residence there, though his company is in Tokyo.

Yet, I was not aware that he obtained Japanese citizenship until very recently.

(Taking precautions, I am acquainted with neither Mr. Totten, nor Mr. Fulford and Mr. Rockefellar, though I have inherent Japanese citizenship.)


SECTION II: Keys to Winning the Cold War

It is also very recently that I checked his blog.
http://billtotten.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

And, I read the following:

The Farewell Dossier: Duping the Soviets
by Gus W Weiss (original around 1995)
www.cia.gov/library (accessed October 09 2007)

Now I suppose there are many young Americans who are 18 years old or a little older and have only vague memory on the 9/11 terror in 2001 which happened six and a half years ago.

Now I suppose there are many American voters who have only vague memory on the end of the Cold War, since 50% of citizens now living and working in New York seem not to have lived in New York at the end of the Cold War without saying in 1963 or in 1941.

However, in my views, the paradigm of that era is what is kept inside the mind of incumbent US President Mr. George W. Bush (and probably Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton), since then US Vice-President was Mr. George H.W. Bush who had been previously the Director of CIA.

Anyway, this CIA-related document confirmed my knowledge about the end of the threat of a nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the USA.

In 1994, Gorbachev's science adviser, Roald Sagdeev, wrote that in computers and microelectronics - the keys to modern civil and military technology - the Soviets trailed Western standards by fifteen years and that the most striking indication of their backwardness was the absence of a domestically made supercomputer. The Soviets considered a supercomputer a "strategic attribute", the lack of which was inexcusable for a superpower {7}. Line X did not acquire designs for such a machine, nor could Soviet computer scientists build one on their own - and NSDM 247 had stopped Western help. As for Farewell, his contribution led to the collapse of a crucial collection program at just the time the Soviet military needed it, and it resulted in a forceful and effective NATO effort to protect its technology. Along with the US defense buildup and an already floundering Soviet economy, the USSR could no longer compete, a conclusion reached by the Politburo in 1987.

However, there are two things to be added.
- The emergence of Japan in 1980's as the technology-based world power overwhelming USSR in terms of electronics, computers, and so on put an end to the belief of the Communist Party of Russia that Marxism could win in the regions except the US and Europe. Countries in those regions have all respected Japanese success and technologies instead of Marxism and Soviet technologies.

- China completely abandoned the strategies the Soviet had taken even in its competition with Japan in the Cold War. China decided to encroach on Japan, though initially mainly through pro-China Japanese conservative politicians and companies to introduce Japanese funds and technologies into Chinese industries, while halting its build-up of nuclear military capabilities targeting the U.S. and offering the huge market and a back flow of dollars to the U.S.

When the leaders of the Soviet Union observed these movements in Japan and China, they clearly understood that they were no more leaders of the world, since their Marxism could not be respected anywhere in Asia.

If they could brace the defeat by the U.S. and West Europe, they could not stand being defeated by Japan and despised by China; their leaders lost face.

This is the most decisive factor of the collapse of the political system of the Soviet Union, since it was beyond the simple defeat in professional war games against the NATO and the U.S.

The huge success of Japan in 1980's, forcing a great strategy change in China, actually put an end to the pride of the Marxist Empire Soviet Union.


SECTION III: Aftermath of the Professional War Games

But, most importantly, CIA did not openly praise Japan, as an allied country in the Cold War, at all.

CIA rather took a hostile view of Japan, even abusing industrial espionage cases involving employees of Japanese companies in the semiconductor industry, while Japanese mainframe computers took rank with IBM's.

It continued to the era of President Mr. Bill Clinton, though, for example, Toyota hired so many workers in its factories in the U.S.

Such a biased attitude and mentality of CIA and part of the US Government is part of reasons for their failure in effectively addressing Muslims and responding to the Islamic cause.

So, it is no wonder that, after the 9/11 terror, President Mr. George W. Bush and then Japan's Prime Minister Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi got into a close relationship.

This is a sub-current that forced, in a sense, the friendship between the two leaders after the 9/11 Terror and the Money War between the US and Japan that had been launched so professionally after the end of the Cold War.


SECTION IV: Financial Incidents under "Peak Oil"

Now let's come back to Mr. Bill Totten, an American Japanese.

He wrote that his success in Japan lies in his respecting his father's advice he got when he was young in California: "Respect customers more than profits."

(http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~nippon/jogbd_h11_1/jog071.html )

Finally, Mr. Bill Totten thinks that the US economy would fail in a large scale sooner or later as indicated by the sub-prime loan issue.

He is unique in discussing the US economic crisis in relation to and in the context of the "peak oil."

For the perspective of the depletion of crude oil technically available to mankind so far:
http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/
Once the seriousness of situation is generally acknowledged, a panic will spread on the markets and bring down the entire house of cards even if production hasn't actually peaked. For this reason, the mainstream media cannot discuss this issue without largely whitewashing the dire consequences for the average person. If they told the truth, people would panic and the markets would crash.


SECTION V: ALL You Need is Religious Revolution

Mr. Bill Totten has preserved a paradigm given by his good father in California to succeed in Japan, since Japan has also preserved that inherently humane paradigm of mankind, which is however not the case in China, India, or Russia.

The true key to the end of the Cold War is a new paradigm Japan, as the second largest economy in the world, posed to the Soviet Union.

Now, what the sub-prime loan issue and the peak oil issue have required from the US people and the Japanese people is another paradigm change.

It is not how to play well a Chinese card or how to utilize or abuse the Chinese market, since the Chinese Communist Party itself is suffering as to how to respond to the requirement of the paradigm change.

Taking into consideration the situations in and around Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, Jerusalem, and Mecca, I think it must be a Religious Revolution in the U.S. that can allow for the effective paradigm change based on which the U.S. can truly contribute to peaceful, stable and continuous development of the world without another Great Depression in the world.

For that purpose, there exist and live African Americans and Hispanic Native Americans that together account for one-fourth of the US population now.

It is because we need a paradigm that can supersede that of the Vatican and current US churches as well as probably a type of Islam those with huge wealth or a terror ideology stick to sacrificing so many poor Christians and Muslims.


(Do you really think that Governor Mr. Higashi-kokubara (Sono-manma-highashi) of Japan's Miyazaki Prefecture has presented a new paradigm, since this ex-TV comedian is so popular after his very big victory in the election a year ago?

Yet, global fans of movies Mr. Takeshi Kitano has produced should pay attention to this real story of advancement of Governor Mr. Higashi-kokubara, since he was once an honest follower of Mr. Takeshi Kitano in their profession.

Violence movies never give a sound paradigm to young people; but a man with a contrite heart becoming a humble governor seems to be able to do so far...)

Total Sum (M1+M2+M3): $9,311.7 billion

http://www.nowandfutures.com/key_stats.html


SECTION II: Power of IT and Productivity Leap

Here you can also confirm what PCs and the Internet brought about to the US society and the global money market.

Truly, the technical innovation led by Windows 95 OS and the Pentium Processors has made people twice crazy on money.

It is not because US workers suddenly started to work 16 hours per day in 1995. It is not because American poor people suddenly started to work twice more per day in 1995.

It is because high-paid businessmen and businesswomen suddenly got software and hardware based on Windows 95 OS and the Intel processors that enabled them to circulate money twice and more per day from their office in high-raised buildings, such as WTC towers, in New York.

Consequently, the number of millionaires in the U.S. got doubled since 1995 to today, accounting for 10% of all the American households.

However, 60% of Americans look unhappy and 50% of Americans are going to support "Hillary" or "Barack," both unthinkable Presidential candidates if in 1995.


SECTION III: CIA and FBI under Money Boom

It is said that even staff members of CIA and FBI were engulfed by this surge of money boom around 2000.

Inevitably, almost no one cared about a rumor about AlQaeda's movement toward probable terror in yet unidentified place in the summer of 2001, since even key members of law-enforcement agencies looked like chasing individual chances for becoming a millionaire in their connection with the financial market or on-line money transaction systems.

But, any frenzy could be halted someday.

The 9/11 terror gave the inevitable psychological shocks to financial sector workers as well as staff members of CIA and FBI.

Now, NYSE indexes have peaked around 13,000 dollar level for a length of time.

The abuse of computer power came to its worst peak with the sub-prime loan schemes applied to poor Americans.

It may be also telling that some members of CIA and FBI, in addition to FRB and SEC, have not fully come back to their right sense even after the 9/11 terror until the media coverage of the chain reaction of financial disasters triggered by the sub-prime loan problem.

Finally, the reason why no terror has occurred in the US since 2001 is apparent.

The staff members of the related departments and agencies are today less poisoned by the money boom, so that they are more faithfully performing their duties at least on national security than in the summer of 2001.


SECTION IV: Last Effect of Money Boom, "Hillary" or "Barack"

First of all, even Mr. Osama bin Laden had neither expected the total collapse of the WTC towers nor targeted specific US high-ranking officials, such as the President and the Vice-President.

(The scene in the underground shelter of the White House on the 9/11 attack a then high-ranking White House official described in his memoir tells true dismay among the Bush Administration, in addition to the wake the Air Force One made after leaving a Florida airport with the President with bemused expressions on board; it is bewilderment close to a kind of fear of a suddenly forced war.)

It was by accident from a human point of view.

If the two towers had stood against flying-in passenger planes, the things might have been different and very different.

There must not have been the invasion of Iraq and the reelection of Mr. George Bush.

Accordingly the US Presidential Election campaigns today must be very different with very different politicians running.

The War on Terror had once a narcotic effect on anybody with any stings of conscience in terms of unethical money chasing and failed terrorists chasing.

But, five years after the invasion of Iraq, people getting cool and cooler have come to think that something is wrong.

And, now they have found two superstars, a female candidate for the US President and a minority-origin candidate for the US President.

Whoever will be elected as the next US President, she or he must control and maintain discipline among staff members of FBI, CIA, FRB, and SEC to avoid the next terror and the next financial and loan crimes.

It is because people in power can do anything, including the setting up of any conspiracy theories, with a fraction of money the financial sector would provide for any justification and concealment of their illegal transactions.

And, that fraction of money can be a trillion dollars as you realize when checking the above chart and figures.

Can "Hillary" or "Barack" stand without losing composure a trillion dollar temptation?
* * *

Now whose love or faith has been boosted up as high as M3 in 1995 and later?

That is a true question and an issue here.

But, as even in Japan, still some people are arguing about conspiracy theories, in a dubious manner regardless of a percentage of truth contained there, and CIA's excessive covert interference in Japanese politics, no matter how deep in its background may be, I think I have to refer to the things since 1995, through 2001, and to 2008 Presidential Election in the above context.

(A conspiracy theory an organized crime has concocted taking in part of truth can be a kind of terror, since fear and hatred would arose from a mind haunted by a very superficially truthful theory so as to suppress effective thinking and constructive activities toward, say, true democracy, peace, and a true war against poverty.

With billion dollars, you can formulate and disseminate any conspiracy theory, since the fear and hatred is a key to the plot of hiding the core of truth by presenting some peripheral facts and evidences in a certain conspiracy theory.)

Nonetheless, everything has happened under the gaze of God or Allah.

What pleases Him is not the crazy surge of an amount of money and funds being circulated over the high-speed telecommunications links from computers in offices in buildings, such as, say, the WTC towers.

This is my message to both poor Americans and key figures in the US Government including the next President yet to be.


(Have your faith and love been boosted up so high, say, since this New Year Season?

I am telling this, since I have even taken the picture of Mt. Fuji on January 1, the holiest day in Japan.

I am truly telling this, since we are given a next day and a next week by the God Almighty.)

(Il a neigé à Kyoto et Tokyo.)



Now, half of Japan is under snowing.

Regardless of the Sea of Japan's coats or the Pacific Ocean's coasts, the north half of the Japanese Archipelago is under the snowing conditions.

But, even in its south half, if faced with the Sea of Japan, it can be often snowing.

Especially Kyoto, 500km west-southwest of Tokyo, can have more snow than in Tokyo, since Kyoto Prefecture faces the Sea of Japan.

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/

And Tokyo, blown by a sea wind, had the first snow of this year yesterday or a day before, though it was just humble spattering.


SECTION I: Spies from the Cold

Last night I got a once-in-a-decade kind of reports from a Japan's TV news program after my work late in the night.

A Russian spy bribed one of Cabinet Research Officers of the Japanese Government.

The Russian, working in the Russian Embassy in Tokyo, paid US$40,000 over several years to the Japanese officer to get some information.

It is very rare in Japan that such an incident is made public, though there are astonishingly no laws in Japan that punish a Japanese citizen for his act of treachery against Japan, which however is very Christian.

It is said that North Korea did, could and can still use, as a kind of spies, hundreds of thousands of North Korean residents in Japan who have been living in the Japanese society before and after WWII.

It is also said that any Chinese visiting Japan with any official titles, including a diplomat, a professor, and a researcher, are a kind of spies.

The issue is that politicians in democratic society are vulnerable to spies from the outside who would donate a big money to their political campaigns and activities.

But, Japanese laws never allow such public spending; the Government budget and political party payments are officially checked by its Parliament, the Board of Audit, tax offices, and so on.


Japan cannot bribe foreign politicians due to its basically Christian Constitution system.

Only what the Japanese Government, ruling parties, or pro-US politicians can do may be offer military bases on the territory of Japan almost free to the US Government.

Most of living costs of US soldiers in Japan are paid by the Japanese Government, though US voters and taxpayers as well as deans of Harvard do not seem to be informed well of this very important fact.

Anyway, once there were many conservative Japanese politicians with a strong tie with North Korea (some of whom lost their status during the era of premiership of Mr. Jyunichiro Koizumi).

Now, Chinese agents supported by huge funds seem to be enjoying free activities in the Japanese society, though they do not look very harmful, since China and the U.S. are in good terms together advancing to the success of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and huge financial mutual dependence.

In addition, winter in Beijing and Pyongyang is colder than in Rome, Paris, London, Berlin, or Warsaw.


SECTION II. A Poor Woman in Japan

I read a letter from a female reader to an agony column of a certain Japanese newspaper.

She wrote that she had been bullied by the late mother of her husband since she had married, though she was blessed with good children.

But, her husband never helped her.

Now, she is given a pain by a sister of her husband who often brings her children to her original home where the poster of the letter and her husband live.

Children of her sister-in-law are rude and violent, showing no respect to their aunt-in-law.

But, her husband has never helped her.

Once it was common in Japan that the eldest son of a family lived with their parents in the parent's home. Therefore, the wife of the eldest son was sometimes forced to serve her parents-in-law just like a servant.

This is an example of still one of the gravest social issues in Japan, since such a situation often leads to a tragic incident, if not spousal violence.

But, of course, spying out a secret of other family is a sin, a very grave sin, if not for imminent prevention of child abuse or something like that, in my view.


SECTION III. Divorced President

If a man or a woman who have married three times becomes the US President, we must be truly alerted, though we do not have to be against a madam President or a minority-origin President.

Though the Vatican does not seem to mind such a thing nowadays, US Christians and poor Americans should be really alerted.

US Christians and poor Americans should also remember that leaders of China and North Korea never respect Jesus Christ.

Their female spy might become the second or third wife of a US President someday.

US Christians and poor Americans should realize that the reason of their existence is to supersede the Vatican.

It is because the God allowed Columbus to discover the new continent America for that purpose.
* * *

And now, I hope you will have a happy weekend, though I don't recommend you Las Vegas, since espionage agents and mafias love such a world.

In that case, you had better be blown by the wind, since an answer is blown high over the Kanto Plain, the last reach of the General Winter from Siberia.

We should call a day, say, "the 210th day of the year, Sunday" or so.)

SECTION I: "Hillary" vs. "Black" Voters

Last night in Japan a TV news caster looking like a remote cousin of Mona Lisa said that Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton has faced another tough challenge: "Black" voters.

Indeed, it is a deeply rooted issue, since they wrote: "So now Barack Hussein Obama and his supporters are playing the 'race card'. A desperate attempt at division and hate. I thought that was the Republican policy?"
http://hillaryrodhamclinton2008.blogspot.com/

Truly, an FEN radio reported that former Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Lawrence Summers said that this year the U.S. would get into a recession, not a matter of possibility but high probability.

If I were a Democratic candidate for the US President, I might address, "Black men have red blood. I have red blood. I am a kind of a black man, 100%, as so proven by my blood!"

And, I would conclude a financial peace treaty with Japan as we have already a kind of a military peace treaty between the U.S. and Japan, though I would not much trust in Harvard deans, since they don't know almost anything critical about history and culture of Japan, the second strongest country in the world and the number one Asian country all through the 20th century to today.

(However, I also recommend this idea to "Mitt," too, since we are all a kind of "black," including Israelite Americans.)


SECTION II: Tower of Bubble

The next US President to be must first look at the following chart:

For more accurate and authentic figure, refer to
http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/WIMFNS

This figure also corroborates my theory of "Windows 1995 Effect on US Economy."

And, remember since 1995 the number of Americans who have one million dollars or more assets is doubled up to this day, accounting 10% of all the households of the U.S.

(As 7.5 million US households are regarded as being a millionaire, 7.5 trillion dollars [= 7.5 million multiplied by one million dollars] must have been actually taken by these families in this period in proportion to the steep portion of the above graph, though 1500 billion dollars means 1.5 triilion dollars.)

The next US President to be, if he or she is one of such new millionaires, must address this crisis of the "Tower of Money Bubble."

My suggestion is that partial disassembly of the tower is better than total collapse of the tower.

At least it was proven in 2001 that if the amount of institutional monetary funds exceeded 500 billion dollars, staff members and officials of CIA and FBI would lose incentives to work hard, receive salary, and get content with it.

They would check financial charts and market information instead of terror report in their office in such a trend of the capitalist society.


SECTION III: Theory of Windows 1995 Effect on US Economy

The sequence of the effect is as follows:
Especially, software used in financial sectors is a key to multiplier effect in the stock exchange and the bond market as well as securitization handling.

SEC, all for fairness and security of the global market, should order all the related businesses to make public software products they are using to circulate money in the market.
* * *

To your astonishment, they just like to accumulate big money.

They like to see poor people suffering due to the lack of money.

That is why they love big money so much, while they cannot even use it for, say, the peace of the world or a victory over terror!

But, the new US President to be must not be such a person who holds the poor in derision, since the God or Allah loves the poor.


(A relatively young woman in Japan was yesterday awarded a notable literature prize.

But, she speaks a dialect: "Osaka-ben" or "Kanasi-ben."

The only dialect you can hear in Tokyo is this Osaka-ben, since Osaka is the strongest city next to Tokyo.

Yet, do you like to hear it, say, in the national assembly or in a TV studio?

I don't think, for another example, the British respect those South Asians or Africans speaking English with unique intonation.

Do the Mafias speak like candidates for the US Presidency?)

SECTION 1: "Lisa, Wasn't Leonard Weird?"

They are reporting everywhere, from the late-night news program to New York Times Online, that the model of Leonard da Vinci's famous picture of a lady, 500 years ago, has been confirmed as "Lisa del Giocondo, wife of Florentine businessman Francesco del Giocondo."

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/arts/AP-Art-Mona-Who.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=Da+Vinci&oref=slogin

I cannot feel any light of faithfulness to God in works of Leonard da Vinci. But, his touch of a pagan spirit, however, with modern exactness has really appealed to Europeans for centuries or 500 years to the extent that Leonard is regarded as anti-Christ.

I don't know what exchange of words or emotions was done between the painter and the sitter.

But what matters to an artist must be his talent, through which he can connect himself to God, but neither his work nor a model. If an artist sticks to a work portraying a certain model, it is no more a painting of art for the interest of society but a picture of his personal memory.

You had better stop to show a mean interest or curiosity in a remnant of emotional exchange between a faithless painter and a pious lady 500 years ago.

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



SECTION 2: LAST SUPPER

Leonard da Vinci did not respect Jesus Christ. But, he painted the Last Supper.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Last_supper_copy_by_unknown_artist.jpg

Mar 14:17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

Mar 14:18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

Mar 14:19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

Mar 14:20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.

Mar 14:21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

Mar 14:22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

Mar 14:23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

Mar 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Mar 14:25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

Mar 14:26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.


Jesus Christ did not tell anybody not to betray Him, or tell others to hold and stop the betrayer.

Jesus Christ, however, completely suppressed their commotion at the last supper by performing a ritual with bread and wine and by singing a hymn.

The meaning of "betrayal" might have been misunderstood for 2000 years, since it is impossible to believe that He could not persuade one of His elite disciples having been trained and educated so much to follow God but not the Satan.

Then blame should be placed on the Church not on the painter of the "Last Supper," since it was almost 900 years after the emergence of Islam.



SECTION 3: Economics without Ethics

I checked a book containing writings by scores of Japanese economists and professors.

(http://www.junkudo.co.jp/detail2.jsp?ID=0248006400 )

It is clear that no experts in this field have the ability to argue ethics as the most important factor in human activities including economic performance and business life.

Just like I don't feel any sincere quest of ethics in works of art created by Leonard da Vinci, I feel a kind of flaw in intelligence or personality, which should be based on ethics, of most of those economists and scholars in terms of ethics, though the authors of texts in the book are all Japanese but not Europeans and Americans in this profession.

Economy is to make your neighbors, but not yourself, happy, according to a principle of Jesus' Economy.
* * *

What is reflected in the picture of Mona Lisa is the feeling the model had to the painter Leonard da Vinci. She must have understood him but not loved him at all, since he looked weird somehow, in my view. An angel must have been on her side but not on da Vinci's side.

Modern economists all look like da Vinci.

No ethics but technicality only.

While da Vinci was painting Mona Lisa, Columbus had discovered the new continent America where no one would feel like painting such pictures, though they might face great temptation of gold and oil which would take away such an expression of woman's emotion from the civilization, however, centuries later.

Conversely, it was the age when such an expression was getting rare even among Italian ladies, in my humble view; hence we could regard Mona Lisa as such a historical record.


(According to one theory, change in prices of some luxury goods might be correlated with a change in the stock market price index.

I suppose that a change in popularity of da Vinci's works might be correlated with a change in a kind of social trends, not so favorable to both believers and the Church.

Therefore, Mesdemoiselles, you had better be taken as an analogy of Mother Mary, Jean of Arc, or, say, Marie Curie, but not Mona Liza, since bad guys seem to have been all around Lisa del Giocondo for 500 years.)

SECTION 1: Snoopy Challenged the German to a Real Dogfight

A Japan's late-night news program presented, last night, a very rare report on the training of Japan's Air Self-Defense Force with F-15s.

However, it is not a paradigm of the 21st century's air battles they are engaged in, in my view.

In this century, the air defense should not rely on fighter planes but surface-to-air missiles, air-to-air missiles, or antiaircraft laser guns.

You can fire an intelligent missile that can fly fast over a 100 km distance or so with a speed and a size that never allows itself to be shot by an enemy plane invading each of which will be targeted at by several missiles, since we will have plenty of them.

Another point is that a cost of one missile will be small, since we will deploy 10,000 missiles along the coast lines. If China, North Korea, Russia, and even South Korea know that Japan has 10,000 of such intelligent, high-precision, high-speed, and long-range anti-aircraft missiles, they will never challenge Japan.

With a budget for one F-15 jet fighter, 100 new missiles will be purchased if they tackle the cost reduction with a skill, a system and enthusiasm Toyota has exercised to compete with American car giants, since the core of the missile is electronics, a kind applied to cars.

(A large airship floating or halting in the air equipped with 100 missiles will be enough to turn enemy planes back at the distance of 150km, for example.)

Anyway, I think the era of Snoopy and Baron von Richthofen is over.
http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/snoopyred.htm

SECTION 2: Financial Times Economists

A Japanese veteran engineer referred to a FT economist, Mr. Martin Wolf.
(http://www.randdmanagement.com/c_econom/ec_134.htm )

So, I also checked his writing on Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, since this incident could be used to test economists.

Mr. Wolf wrote:
"As Nouriel Roubini of New York University’s Stern School of Business argues, the Asians did not learn the lessons most western economists thought they should..."

Financial Times looks very biased to the eye of some Japanese.

Financial Times lives in the paradigm of the era of colonization in the 20th and the 19th century.

They have no love and friendship to Asians and Asian countries.

Any Western economist who never focuses on Japan's contribution to relief and rescue of Asian countries that faced the catastrophic economic and financial plight in late 1990's are a kind of colonists who do not love Asians but are still trying to exploit Asia and holding Asians in derision, since they cannot even respect and admire Japan.

(They like China, since there are no problems for them about China, specifically, as to respecting or admiring.)

In this context, even English Wikipedia is not sound.

"Another longer-term result was the changing relationship between the U.S. and Japan, with the U.S. no longer openly supporting the highly artificial trade environment and exchange rates that governed economic relations between the two countries for almost five decades after World War II. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_Asian_Financial_Crisis

As it writes such a way without understanding the truth of the Plaza Accord in 1985, the writer shows that he/she doesn't understand it was Japan that supported the U.S. through adjustment of the Yen/Dollar exchange rate, while Japan helped Asian countries in the crisis in terms of not only money supply but also restructuring their economic and social structure to cope with another attack from US and UK financial mafias.

You had better translate and read the Japanese version of Wikipedia on the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis:

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A2%E9%80%9A%E8%B2%A8%E5%8D%B1%E6%A9%9F

Anyway, Snoopy should shoot down such economists in the sky of the Indochina Peninsula.


SECTION 3: John Maynard Keynes

What is the difference between spending on "measures to deal with unemployment" and "implementation of public-works projects" when a nation is in recession or depression?

Keynes said that there is a big difference in a multiplier effect (which is not Keynes' original idea), so that a government should spend the budget for public-works projects instead of direct financial support for the unemployed.

But, Mr. Yoshiyasu Ono, Osaka University, clearly argued that the Keynes' claim based on the multiplier effect of public-works projects is immature and misleading, which I agree on.

( http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4480064001?ie=UTF8&linkCode=as2&tag=blogsofdankog-22 )

The issue is that what matters is not the quantity of the public-works budget but the quality and contents of public works, since effectiveness of the multiplier effect depends on the quality and contents.

But, to check or plan effective public works of high quality requires hard work of officials and politicians as well as businesses all concerned.

Keynes said that if the public work was just digging holes not for any purposes, the budget should be used for the work, since it would have the multiplier effect on the whole economy of the nation.

Keynes does not seem to have loved poor people; he also looks like having held poor people in derision, since an increase in the amount of circulated money without improvement of the society in terms of quality is just making some more people richer while making some more people poorer.

(That may be rather called "anti-Christ.")

We need economists who can do away with Keynes like a new artist who can do away with Leonardo da Vinci. In other words, we need another Snoopy the hero in every field.

Snoopy should shoot down such economists in the sky over the Ministry of Finance.

Of course, the sin of economy is in interest.

If you lend something or some money to somebody, you must not claim it back, as Jesus Christ has ordered so.

Anyway, giving is happier than receiving. This must be a basic principle of a new theory of economy.

Or, do we still have to deal with 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 80 daredevil rivals in economy or, say, in love?)

SECTION 1: Toyota

New York Times reported on rivalry between Toyota and GM around plug-in hybrid cars:

"...Nonetheless, G.M., Toyota and Ford Motor, the world’s three biggest car companies, all are developing plug-in hybrid vehicles.

... Toyota has sold more than one million hybrids worldwide, including more than 800,000 Prius cars.

... Each charge, which takes about four hours, uses the equivalent of 2.7 kilowatt hours of electricity, said Jaycie Chitwood, a senior strategic planner in Toyota’s advanced technologies group.

... But it cannot go very far: the plug-in hybrid’s two batteries hold enough power for only seven miles, said Saúl Ibarra, a product specialist with Toyota who worked on developing the Prius.

By contrast, G.M. claims that the Volt will be able to hold a charge equal to 40 miles, after a six-hour charge.

... The plug-in Prius can stay in electric mode until 62 miles per hour, versus around 30 miles per hour for the conventional Prius, Mr. Iba- rra said...."
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/14/business/14plug.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Toyota is just a car manufacturer. A sort of commodity maker. Besides, cars are killing tens of thousands of people on roads and streets in Japan, the U.S., and other countries every year. Cars are causing environmental pollution and global warming.

I am sorry to say that I have never respected car makers very much.

When I was young, they said that the best students would find employment in the electric/electronic industry, including a computer division, the building industry, or heavy industries, but not so much in car manufactures.

So, it is no wonder that Sony and Panasonic (or Matsushita) have succeeded so much globally; but it is a big surprise that Japanese workers in plants, who have no university diploma, have made Toyota the leading company in Japan and the U.S.

Yet, I have to say that Toyota should still more than ever focus on road fatalities, environmental pollution and global warming as well as dignity of workers without a university diploma.

In addition, Toyota should make the Philippines rich as the company have earned so much money in the U.S.


SECTION 2: A US Politician against War-Based Foreign Policy

"...It has been proven time and time again that troop surges don't work. The fruitless war in Afghanistan is not being won militarily.

Under our watch corruption and chaos in Afghanistan has developed and flourished. As the United States seeks to abate terrorism we must also learn from the consequences of a war-based foreign policy."

This is not a statement issued by a Japanese liberal critic or a Japanese politician of the Opposition.

Mr. Dennis Kucinich, a Representative of the U.S., wrote so.
http://blog.thehill.com/

The point of issue is that the U.S. President is requested always to look strong.

So, when attacked physically or personally, he would send troops; when lost in election, he would send troops; and when abused or laughed at by the media, he would send troops.

It is mainly to fulfill the need for the US President to look always strong, in my personal view.


SECTION 3: Three Dog Night

Now the FEN radio has played a 1971 song, "Joy to the World," by Three-Dog Night.

It goes:
"Jeremiah was a bullfrog
he was a good friend of mine
never understand a single word he said...

If I were the king of the world
i tell you what i do
i throw away the cars and the bars and the wars..."

It also sings: "joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea!"

In 1971, everybody heard the Three-Dog Night, the bullfrog, and fishes in the deep blue sea, even in Texas.
* * *

If you had been told in 1971 that Toyota would build its factory in the Soviet Union some of these days, you might have thought that the U.S. military would at last invade North Vietnam, China, and the USSR to occupy the nations and convert their societies to democratic ones based on capitalist market economy.

And you might have wondered how many missiles with a nuclear warhead would be used.

The fact is that the U.S. lost the war in Vietnam due to their poor definition of the war; China was hugely supported financially and technically by Japan so as to produce and export toys and other commodities to the U.S. through Wal-Mart Stores or so on; and Russians have survived the cold war, the debacle of the social and economic systems, and the great confusions on introducing new economy just to succeed in developing its oil and gas fields.

Now, in Russia and the U.S., you can drive a Japanese car alike.

In near future, in Iraq and Afghanistan, they will be probably able to drive Japanese cars alike without fuels made of oil.

What I want to say may be that the US military does not have to invade and stay in Iraq and Afghanistan just like the case in Vietnam, China, and the USSR decades ago.



(Indeed, cars, gasoline, wars, politics, and business are all so tough and still going to last long since the godless century of the 20th.

Truly, it is said in Japan that a wife and a tatami mat should be tough and last long.

Maybe, you are going to be a star if you can drive my car, since it may have a good license plate number, such as "MM-MM" with M supposed to be the number above infinity, namely where your life belonged before its birth through the "M - n" rule.)
