Identity of “Atacama Humanoid,” a mysterious small mummy about 15 centimeters in length, has been revealed.


In a year-end TV program featuring Takeshi, someone asked a question to Mr. Junichiro Nirasawa, president of Tama Publishing Co. Ltd.: “You say that Venusians live among us earthmen and have children between them and us.  Why does the genetic difference make it possible to have children?  Mr. Nirasawa answered: “It is because all are people; Venus people, Mars people, Jupiter people and earth people.”  At that time, I thought he was a man with an arts background.
However, reading this article, I’ve begun to think that Mr. Nirasawa might have got a point.

Identity of “Atacama Humanoid,” a mysterious small mummy about 15 centimeters in length, has been revealed.



About a decade ago, a 15 cm mummy was discovered in the Atacama Desert, Chile in 2003.  What is a small humanoid mummy?  Is it an alien?  The mummy, which was named “Atacama Humanoid,” has attracted public attention.  It appears that the identity of the mummy has been found.


On October 19, 2003, a man named Oscar Munoz found the Atacama Humanoid in La Noria, a ghost town located in the Atacama desert.  At first, Mr. Munoz told about this mummy: “It had nine ribs, which is different from humans.  The head was extremely elongated in shape and the skin appeared to be covered with scales”

Finally this mummy was found a human fetus; a fetus or rather a fetus-sized man who had lived up to six to eight years.  As proof of this, a trace that he was breathing, eating, and metabolizing was found.  This is believed to be a mutation.

This was revealed by stem cell biology researchers of Stanford University, California, U.S.A. who carried out X-ray examination and DNA test.  According to them, it is not an alien or a monkey, but it had human genes.





The research findings were revealed in a documentary film “Sirius,” which has started to be screened this Monday.  Researchers of Stanford University have a conclusion in the film that the mummy is “human.”

Did a mere 15 centimeter fetus-sized human live up to six to eight years?  Many friends would be surprised at this even after the identity has been revealed.  This truth may be disclosed or not be disclosed by seeing this documentary film “Sirius.” 

“Do you intend to protect people” Niigata Prefectural Governor Criticized Nuclear Regulation Authority [ Everybody wants to be happy ]


There are quite a lot of sincere heads of municipal governments like Niigata Prefectural Governor Izumida.  We have to be careful not to misjudge who is our friend and who is our enemy.

“Do you intend to protect people” Niigata Prefectural Governor Criticized Nuclear Regulation Authority


Niigata Prefectural Governor Izumida: Do you intend to secure the safety of nuclear power plants and safety of the people?

Nuclear Regulation Agency Secretary Ikeda: Yes, it’s a matter of course.  It’s our duty and it’s a matter of course.

Izumida: Do you intend to come face-to- face with the area where nuclear power stations are located?

Ikeda:  Of course.

Izumida:  Do you?

Ikeda: Yes.

Izumida:  Why hasn’t NRA Chairman Takana come to see me today?


Ikeda: We are going to fully inform him of what is talked in the meeting.  Well, ….

Izumida:  Why are you going to use indirect speech?

Ikeda:  No, well ….  There are many visitors from many groups.  Well…

Izumida: Do you think that Niigata is one of such groups?  We hold jurisdiction over local administration.

Ikeda:  You hold jurisdiction over administration, but you’re the same.

Izumida:  We shares responsibility for nuclear safety administration, don’t we?

Ikeda:  Well, anyway.


Izumida: Isn’t Nuclear Regulation Authority the body which is responsible for evacuation?

Ikeda:  Well, do you want to say that we have to obtain permission from the residents?

Izuimda: Exactly. So, why can you do that without listening to on-site voicest?  Without doing it, you say it is perfect safety standard.
Niigata prefecture has experienced at least a fire accident and complex disaster at the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power station when the Chuetsu-oki Earthquake occurred.
What happened?
I wonder why you can judge without asking what actually happened on the scene.
What did we find it difficult to cope with?
For example, in the case of complex disaster, it is likely that power-supply car will not reach the scene.
What are you going to do?
No investigation of Fukushima nuclear power plant accident has been made.
You never listen to the administrative body.
You never listen to on-site voices, either.
What makes you think that such safety standard is helpful?

Why can you explain this in just 15 minutes?  First you said “Up to 15 minutes.”


Press Section Chief Akira Sato: As for 15 minutes, I hear that Niigata prefectural government said 15 minutes was enough!
*What Section Chief Sato is like: kiikochan.blog136.fc2.com/blog-entry-2388.html

Izumida:  I want you to stop such excuse.
Can you say to the people, “you can trust in nuclear safety administration”?

Reporter:  Governor, from the beginning, you seemed to get very angry.

Izumida:  It’s quite natural.  We have been studying the safety standard since March.  We informed the NRA of what experts had studied in the prefectural technical committee.  Although I asked him to see me to talk about “more secure environment,” Chairman Tanaka won’t meet me.
Furthermore, at a press conference Chairman Tanaka says *”Why do I have to answer the question of Niigata prefectural governor?  I have no obligation.”
I can’t help but feel that it is doubtful whether “the NRA feels responsible for securing the people’s safety.”

Reporter:  What are you going to request the NRA to do anew?

Izumida:  To secure safety.
It is most important to investigate why the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident occurred and study how to cope with it.  Additionally, what matters most is to provide information with transparency.
They never provide any information.  They get things going self-righteously without listening to us.
They try to say “we have developed a guideline and that’s the end of the story.”
I think it is difficult for them to win the confidence of the people.

Reporter:  How about the reoperation of the Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear power station?

Izumida:  Therefore, I ask a question: “should we investigate the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident first?”
From their response, I think those involved have not given an answer.
I think it should be done first.

Reporter:  No matter how long will it take?

Izumida:  Therefore, it has nothing to do with time.

Interview with UNIQLO Chairman Yanai: “Annual income of one million yen is inevitable” [Asahi]


Look at the parts in a red font.  Although he knows that there are differences in economic power and exchange rate between nations, he has given such a remark.  He must be a convinced criminal.  He gives a comment shown in the second red font probably to fend off criticism.  On the other hand, he gives another comment shown in the third red font:  “Annual income of one million yen is sufficient for rank-and-file employees.”  His logic is contradictory.  I am not so foolish as to expect such money monger to express a logical argument.  However, he had better give more decent comment whether it may be true or false.

Interview with UNIQLO Chairman Yanai: “Annual income of one million yen is inevitable”


Mr. Tadashi Yanai, Chairman and President of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd., 
gives an answer at an interview at Minato-ku, Tokyo
Photography: Shigetaka Kodama


Will “global equal pay” system motivate employees or further “impoverish workplaces”?  We asked Mr. Tadashi Yanai, Chairman and President of First Retailing, about the aim to introduce this system and the criticism of the company referred to as “exploiter” where employees are abused.

Will UNIQLO which is going to globally sift for introduction of “global equal pay” system face growth or death?
-        What is the purpose of introducing the “global equal pay” system?

Our basic idea is that employees are paid the same wages proportionate to profits they make in whatever country they work.  I have been thinking about it since we opened stores overseas.  Brilliant employees in emerging countries or developing countries are paid less just for differences in country.  This cannot be accepted by a company trying to globally develop business.”

-        Compared to China, workers in Japan are highly paid.  Will downward pressure be applied on wages of Japanese workers and will employees in less paid countries earn more wages?

Store managers in Europe are far more paid than store managers or temporary workers in Japan.  We have no intention of decreasing pay in Japan.  On the other hand, we cannot increase wages in developing countries at once to the level of those in developing countries.  We are considering specific mechanism of how to level wages and practically equalize them.

-        What do you think about a high personnel turnover rate?

“It is a problem of globalization.  I have told to employees for a decade that in the future, annual income will be divided between 100 million yen and 1 million yen and middle-class people will be decreased.  Unless employees can make increased profits through work, their annual income is decreased to 1 million yen because their wages are put on a par with those of low-paid counterparts in developing countries.   It is unavoidable.

-        You mean that people without added value will leave the company or in some cases get depressed.

“I think so.  It might be tough for Japanese, but people working overseas are working much harder.”

“I’m concerned about migrant workers away from home to take menial jobs.  Unless we can create an added value, which knocks out foreigners in global competition, Japanese have no other choice but go away to work.  Global economy is either “Grow or Die.”  It is an exciting age.  Unless we change, we will die.  I say to our employees that if you don’t change, you should die.”

Suspects of Boston Bombing Event Framed Up! Who are Rear Perpetrators? [Trend of Japan, World and Universe]


We may call this the definitive article on the Boston bombing event.  This article is based on information from a whistleblower and the event happened as the whistleblower’s testimony.  Seen from this point of view, this article is definitely true.
Reading the article, the truth of the event is apparent.
As the whistle-blower works on a security commission, we can imagine that FBI outsourced the job of security.  Please refer to the article of Sakurai Journal and that of News U.S.  It is apparent that FBI is deeply involved in this event.
This event was caused by Obama and FBI.

Suspects of Boston Bombing Event Framed Up!  Who are Rear Perpetrators?

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

April 19:  REAL PERPS IN THE BOSTON BLAST FOUND

These three “police officers” were the STARS of Sandy Hook.  SO why are they ALL at the finish line in Boston when the gig goes down?  WHERE THE HELL ARE THEIR BACK PACKS AS THEY RUN FROM THE SCENE?

WHERE IS THAT BACK PACK, VISIBLE IN OTHER PHOTOS?




Whistleblower NAILS IT on the morning of April 16

Boston bombing outcome ratted to near perfection by whistleblower on Tuesday, April 16, the morning after the bombing.

People were not going to fail for the white American NRA angle, but there are enough meat heads out there to fall for the Islamic terror angle (still) thanks to a scamming zionist media that focused on pure fabrication and deception, rather than even trying to hide or tweak the truth.

April 19 UPDATE: NRA link now confirmed  Read whistleblower testimony below for context

This ended up being bona fide whistleblower testimony with the Boston bombing. A note to the whistleblower: Thank you for loving your country enough to stick your neck out, god only knows if your head is still attached.

The following should NOT be ignored.

“I worked on a security commission and I’ve just received word to start on a campaign we’ve been working on for the last two months and now it all makes sense.

I’ll keep it as short as I can

They’re going to pin this event on a male late teens to early 20s and say he did it because he’s unstable.  They are going to find firearms and a NRA book in his home.  They are going to say he used reloading powder for the explosion and that reloading powder shouldn’t be for sale to the public.  They are then going to say that because the powder in ammunition can be used for explosions that the number of rounds you can buy should be limited and taxed to help pay for these events.

I can’t do anything or I’ll lose my job and possibly face criminal charges.  Please don’t let them get away with it.  They won’t find the suspect till later this week and the raid is issued to occur on Friday.  This was a staged event.  The people hurt are real but the event was planned.  Don’t let them hurt our rights.”

--Admin comment – Let’s step by step this as the elite scammers do it.  Here we go:

Step 1 – COMPLETE “They’re going to pin this event on a male late teens to early 20s (he ended up being 19) and say he did it because he’s unstable (confirmed, they took the unstable approach.” – HERE IS THE ARTICLE THAT PROVES THE LONE WOLF, SINGLE MAN DOING IT – Step I in the setup complete – READ THAT BREAKING ARTICLE THAT IS LINKED, IT IS SPOOKY

Step 2 – FUNALIZEDGUN POWDER STORY CONFIRMED: They are going to find firearms and a NRA book in his home – UPDATE – NRA INDICTED BY MSNBC.  They are going to say he used reloading powder for the explosion and that reloading powder shouldn’t be for sale to the public.  Step 2 -  FINALIZED (interesting it is that it is ISLAEL where the gunpowder story is being fronted FIRST.

Step 3 – OBVIOUSLY NEXT.   They are then going to say that because the powder in ammunition can be used for explosions that the number of rounds you can buy should be limited and taxed to help pay for these events.

Step 4 - FINALIZED – I can’t do anything or I’ll lose my job and possibly face criminals charges.  Please don’t let them get away with it.  They won’t find the suspect till later this week and the raid is issued to occur on Friday.  − BINGO, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPNED.

[The Voice of Russia] Successor to Chavez Elected in Venezuela Presidential Election


I mentioned that CIA cannot do anything to manipulate Venezuela (on March 6).  Election results were just I expected.

Successor to Chavez Elected in Venezuelan President Election

A presidential election was held in Venezuela on 14th following the death of former President Chavez.  Acting President Maduro, successor to the late President Chavez, was elected.  AFP quoted the information from the Venezuelan national election board on 15th.

According to the information from the election board, Mr. Maduro won 50.66 percent of the vote while Mr. Capriles, the joint candidate for the opposition party, won 49.0 percent of the vote.

Mr. Maduro declared an election victory by saying, “Today we can say that we had a fair election triumph.”  Mr. Maduro is believed to follow suit with the policy to develop Venezuela proposed by Mr. Chavez.

AFP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
English translation of a Japanese article: Nobuyo Yagi’s Monologue – April 16, 2013 –

Mr. Maduro, successor to Chavez, won the presidential election in Venezuela, South America.  As he is not so charismatic as Chavez, Maduro had a close contest with Capriles.  In actuality, however, Capriles, Maduro’s opponent, is a Jewish-Venezuelan millionaire and his parents are among the richest people in Venezuela that they control almost all mass media.  Considering the fact that through negative campaign against Maduro had been engaged in during the race, it is safe to say that this narrow margin indicates Maduro enjoys substantial support from the Chavez group (reformers).  

Incidentally, election-monitoring groups from various countries were sent to the election in Venezuela.  There is no doubt that election in Venezuela is far more democratic than that in Japan.

[Mr.Takeshita] Super flare and killshot to be expected to occur

Information from Mr. Masatoshi Takeshita about the article posted on Shanti Phula’s blog on April 19

After reading the article entitled “What was happening behind the sun on April 12,” which was posted on Shanti Phula’s blog on April 18, Mrs. Seiko Nakanishi spoke to Tamako-sama (the sun) and asked her to explain about this phenomenon.  She got a message from Tamako-sama as follows:

-----------------------------------------
What was happening behind the sun on April 12?
Excerpt from a Japanese article: In Deep – April 15, 2013 –


LASCO C2 image by SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory), NASA on April 12, 2013

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

“According to Tamako-sama, a light seen behind the sun, which appeared to be a massive explosion, was a “super flare.”  I think it was the super flare which was expected to occur.  When I asked her why explosion occurred behind the sun, she answered: “I did everything I could do.”  I shudder to imagine if this explosion had occurred in front of the earth.  I cannot help but feeling appreciation for Tamako-sama and also love for her.”
(Fax from Mrs. Seiko Nakanishi received on April 18, 2013 at 12:52 p.m.)

This incident seems to respond to the part of a message entitled “Object looking like a firebird” shown below, which was posted on Shanti Phula’s blog on February 26.

“We have been investigating the sun’s corona to stop explosion of solar flares.
We will barely be able to stop super flare.”

As mentioned in this article, not only super flare but killshot are of a problem.  As for the killshot which was expected to occur after super flare, which has actually occurred behind the sun, it seems to be pending now.  In a word, luckily, killshot to be expected to occur around June 1 seems to be cancelled for a time.

This is greatly due to the likelihood that contrary to expectations, a tense situation in the Korean Peninsula caused by North Korea will not turn into a war.  However, I think above all else, it is totally to prayers offered by readers of Shanti Phula’s blog as well as their strenuous efforts.

However, the Japanese government is apparently trying to make Japan become militarized, which allows Japan to wage war.  The future depends on awareness of each of us.  If we make a wrong choice, a possible killshot, which has been cancelled for a time, might occur anew.  The people need to clearly express their will about whether to make Japan remilitarized country as well as whether to stop nuclear power generation.

This is because flowers and trees have the mind and consciousness.
When spoken to in Japanese or any other language, they can understand it.  And they make an answer.  We feel that they give an answer, though we can’t hear it.  Likewise, stones have the mind, consciousness and feelings.  Female planet spirits described by Mrs. Nakanishi can make conversation with the humans through her.  However, where is the brain of the earth and moon?  Modern people think that neither the earth nor the moon has brain.  My sensitivity makes me think their way of thinking is queer.  Stones have the mind and feelings.  They feel happy and give an answer when spoken to.  This is nothing special.  Modern people are so confused and egocentric that they can’t understand it.  Generally, of course, what I say is considered complete nonsense.  I don’t want to talk to ill-natured people.

“Everything is under the command of the universe” 
by Akinori Kimura, a farmer of miracle apples
Published by Toho Shuppan

Our fields had been getting worse and worse since the start of faming without use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.  I had attempted to spray food against agricultural pests in vain.  When I turned 34, I had run out of such food after successive failures, I felt at the end of my rope and I wasn’t sure what to do.  However, I noticed that “words have terrific power.”


This was taught by apple trees.
Apple trees had not bloomed for many years and got so all weak that they were shaken from side to side with a slight push.  I thought these trees would wither if I did nothing.  So I started to speak to them prayerfully.

“Sorry to have you in such irreversible condition.”
“I don’t mind if you don’t bloom or bear fruit.  Please hold out so as not to wither.”

I touched the trees gently with care, hoping they can feel the warmth of my skin, and spoke to them to convey my honest feelings: “Please hold out to the end.”

Never providing any fertilizer or spraying any pesticide is like forcing the humans to “work hard” without giving food to eat or without administering medicine to take.

Looking at thinner trees with such feelings, words naturally came out one after another. It became a part of my daily routine to speak to the trees.

There are more than 800 apple trees in the four fields.  I took time to speak to each tree because I wanted to let them know how I felt.

As I spoke loudly, some people who were in the adjacent field seemed to hear my words.  Suddenly they made a fuss, saying “Is there anybody?” or “To whom is he telling?”
Feeling ashamed, I abruptly hid myself.  My acts had already been a laughingstock to my neighbors.  I was afraid of being talked about by neighbors; they would say, “Kimura has finally been crazy” if they saw me speak to the trees.

Although I thought I had already discarded my vanity, some of it still remained in my mind.  Reflecting myself, it was when I was left alone at fields after my family left for home that I spoke to apple trees.  Such feelings made me hesitate to speak to the apple trees which stood on the property line of adjacent field and those along the road.

This made a big difference.
The apple trees I had asked to hold out to the end did firmly take roots with shaking trunks changing into robust ones and gradually recovered.  They answered my zeal I conveyed to them.

On the other hand, the apples trees I didn’t speak to or a line of 82 apple trees which stood on the border line of adjacent field and along the road, all withered as if they had rimmed the fields.

I felt this phenomenon when I touched cucumbers in another field.

Holding out your finger to a cucumber, it curls the hair around your finger if you are a child or innocent person.  If it doesn’t curl the hair around your finger, touch it gently and then it sometimes curls around it quietly.

I made it.  However, the top leader of a well-known religious group tried to do so in vain, though his disciples all made it.

When you make an experiment, you’d better try it alone without seen by others. (Page 80)

Protest marches against TPP by JA(Japan Agricultural Cooperatives) members
photo from bit.ly/15qj532



English translation of a Japanese article: “Honne Iimasse” (I‘ll deliver my true message) – April 14, 2013 -

Abe Administration Has Neither Will or Ability to Stick to Japan’s Claim

TPP vividly shows the fallacy of the Abe administration.
The Abe administration was established nominally with a slogan of anti-TPP.
More than 120 LDP members showed a tough stance against TPP in the election.

However, the opposition itself was totally fallacious.

In the House of Representative election, Mr. Abe had consistently pledged “The LDP would not participate in any negotiations based on the premise of abolition of tariffs without exceptions.”  He made a promise only so far.  Many Japanese people interpreted this to mean “He would protect sacred areas” but it’s a serf-serving interpretation.

However, Mr. Abe tactically directs the people to self-serving interpretation.
This usage of wording is the technique typical of the Japan’s bureaucracy.

Then Prime Minister Abe declared that the government would display its negotiating power.
On 15th, Prime Minister Abe held a press conference and officially pronounced that the country would participate in the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) negotiations.

He made his decision in the midst of the pros and cons of the problem.  His political skill of how to protect national interests will be called into question.
Prime Minister Abe said, “Now is our last chance.  Losing this opportunity would simply leave Japan out from the rule-making in the world,” “We would protect the areas we should protect and attack the areas we should attack, using every possible negotiating power.  I will pursue the best way to serve Japan’s national interests. Listening to his determination, you believe that he will do his best.

However, they are just words.  Then what happened?

“The government announced that Japan and the U.S. have reached an agreement on prior consultation paving the way for Japan to participate in TPP negotiations.
In prior consultation, Japan has made concession to the U.S. in the non-tariff measures-related areas of automobiles and insurances, which the U.S. took an aggressive stance on, as well as safety standards of food product and has decided to continue Japan-U.S. consultations in parallel with the TPP negotiations.”

The Asahi Shimbun {web} on 13th reports:
“The Abe administration, which aims to participate in the TPP negotiations in July has quickened an agreement, has made concessions to the U.S. on many areas including a focal issue of automobiles.  Japan is likely to be forced to pay high ‘admission fee’.”


The Nikkei Shimbun reports:
‘In order to participate in the TPP negotiations, Japan has been forced to pay admission fee to the U.S.
The Japan-U.S. agreement clearly reflects the demands of each sector in the U.S.
The U.S. automobile industry which opposes Japan’s participation has blatantly disclosed its protectionism, which is completely different to liberalism TPP aims for.
(The timing for phases-out of U.S. tariffs is maximally protracted.)

What is the response of the people who raised a slogan of anti-TPP?

As many as 120 LPD members should have been elected thanks to the slogan of anti-TPP they raised.
Do they still insist on the opposition to TPP?
How are the farmers who were placed at the vanguard of anti-TPP doing?
They seem to have made an about-face change of their attitude and sought for ways to get money from the government.

What about the Japan Medical Association?  The Association also seems to become silent.
I’m reading the Sankei Shimbun morning edition dated April 14 (14th version).
Almost no news on TPP has disappeared in the newspaper.

An article in the corner of a second-page titled “Japan-U.S. Agrees on TPP ‘Sense of Danger’” barely reports:

“On 13th, Mr. Goushi Hosono, Secretary General of Democratic Party of Japan, expressed concern about the prior consultation between the Japan and U.S. governments over Japan’s participation in the TPP negotiations, saying “I feel a great sense of danger.  Almost nothing about agriculture and nothing of medical services have been mentioned.”  He told about it in his address of a meeting held in Mito City.”

Was it expected how it would go like this?
Yes, highly expected.

Prime Minister Abe gained power by claiming “to strengthen the Japan-U.S. relationship.”

Nothing but TPP can show his strong determination.
It means that he has no choice but to swallow all demands of the U.S.
Follow up how the TPP has gone, you will understand it.
The government has consistently used lies and sophistry.
My opinion is that the people who are deceived are greatly to be blamed.
You can be wise enough not to be taken in by the government because a lot of information is available.
The people who want to be deceived: I’d like to think anew about it.

This is a video, what shall I say, I was really drawn into.
After viewing the video, my wife Yasuko seemed to be perfectly healed.
She said, “The mess in our house is no big deal compared to this.”
