U.S. Ambassador, Does the U.S. Government Respect Democracy 
in Okinawa? 
– Powerful Editorial of Ryukyu Shimpo –

This Ryukyu Shimpo’s editorial is so powerful that, I believe, nobody can argue against it.

English translation of an excerpt from a Japanese article: “Unknown Truth” by Kazuhide Uekusa – February 14, 2014 –

U.S. Ambassador, Does the U.S. Government Respect Democracy in Okinawa?

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Caroline Kennedy visited Okinawa, where she met with Nago Mayor Susumu Inamine and made an inspection of Henoko.

Two major Okinawa newspapers, the Ryukyu Shimpo and the Okinawa Times, posted in their editorials a message to Ambassador Kennedy, respectively.

The Ryukyu Shimpo summarized the fact that Ambassador Kennedy inspected Japan’s dolphin fishing and pointed out the “inhumanness of drive hunt dolphin killing.”

Convincing reasoning is provided there.

I’d like to quote the editorial of the Ryukyu Shimpo in part as follows:

“We have a strong desire to share the universal values of freedom, democracy and mutual respect for basic human rights with American people.”
“Meanwhile, it was the United States that captured their land from the residents at Isabama and Iejima “by bulldozers and bayonets” to construct the base in the early postwar period. Such conduct violated Article 46 of the Hague Convention stating that private property cannot be confiscated.
Before the war, people lived their lives in the place where U.S. Marine Corps Futenma Air Station is located. There were schools, a village office and agricultural land. We want the ambassador to understand this abnormal history and accept the reality that the U.S. government operates a military base in an area where it drove out civilians.”
“Believed to be the origin of the mermaid legend, Dugongs live in the sea where coral reefs spread, off the Henoko district. The dugong is listed “1A” as critically endangered in Japanese Red List published by the Ministry of Environment.
The US ambassador to Japan tweeted recently, commenting that the U.S. government opposes drive hunt fishing.
You expressed that you were deeply concerned by the inhumaneness of drive hunt dolphin killing. Then is it not inhumane to pose a threat to the habitat of the dugongs by destroying their feeding grounds?
With the sense of responsibility coming from your father, would you open the door to create new friendship between the U.S. and Ryukyu, and put an end to the military colonial rule in Okinawa? We hope that your visit to Okinawa will help change the policy and allow the government to abandon the relocation plan to Henoko and to move the Futenma base outside Okinawa.
(English translation by T&CT)

Ambassador Kennedy is urged to take this message seriously and advise President Obama to make a decision to abandon a plan to build a new military base in Henoko.

Of course, normally, Japan’s prime minister, who represents the will of Okinawa residents and Japan’s sovereign members, should ask the U.S. to abandon building a military base in Henoko.

There is no reason that allows the beautiful beach of Henoko to be destroyed to build a gigantic military base.

There is nothing except filthy lust tainted by vested interests.

Correct Evaluation of Tokyo Gubernatorial Election This Time (Naoto Amaki)


Correct Evaluation of Tokyo Gubernatorial Election This Time
(Naoto Amaki)

I agree with the insight of Mr. Amaki. Please refer to an article entitled “Let’s start counterattack today” by Mr. Takashi Hirose. I am very encouraged by the messages and actions of such people with good sense.

I have told that the Abe administration, which had followed the instructions of the world elite, has rebelled against them with the start of a new year 2014. As you will learn from an article Hacchi-san introduced yesterday, Prime Minister Abe aims to restart nuclear reactors.

As I have reported so far, however, restart is impossible. It appears that the Japan’s zaibatsu conglomerates don’t understand that the Nathaniel camp strongly supported by deities has easily defeated David Rockefeller, who was called the Global Emperor. I think it is apparent that they would have a much harder time if they act against the will of deities.

I have given this sort of advice because I examine from moment to moment who or what kind of person is scheduled to be destroyed. The Bush/Nazi camp is originally too foolish to listen to such advice. It turns out, therefore, that those who side with them will be destroyed along with them in accordance with the will of the universe. Given their miserable end, I feel painful but regrettably, they get what they serve. That’s all I can say. In a word, there are many people who won’t listen to any advice however often I give it.

Correct Evaluation of Tokyo Gubernatorial Election This Time

The Tokyo gubernatorial election this time had a script under which the Abe LDP administration plotted to have Governor Inose resign and replace with him a governor favorable to them to carry out the Tokyo Olympic Games as they please.

This was the worst election that lacked a sense of excitement without influential candidates among the opposition parties.

However, with the appearance of a coalition of former prime ministers Hosokawa and Koizumi, who opposed to the Abe administration, the election suddenly became interesting.

If the Koizumi theater is opened and Hosokawa is elected a new prime minister, undoubtedly the political situation is likely to shake national politics.

That’s why the Abe LDP administration was driven by a sense of crisis it had never experienced.

They colluded with major media to try to crush Hosokawa/Koizumi in a blatant and unusual way.

At first, they tried to hoot over the former Prime Minister Hosokawa’s past political fund scandal. After finding it insufficient, they made an about-turn and rushed to have the public uninformed about Hosokawa/Koizumi.

However, if anti-nuclear voters had been encouraged to move by former Prime Minister Koizumi who honestly repented, saying “The March 11 disaster made me, an advocate for nuclear power, recognize I was wrong” and repeatedly declared anti-nuclear generation, the Koizumi theater would have been likely to be opened.

However, the anti-nuclear voters were not been able to be unified and what is even worse, they kept on standing in the way of each other.

In this way, rebel forces of Hosokawa/Koizumi failed. I strongly believe, however, that Japan will initiate a full-fledged political movement toward anti-nuclear power.

There is a very obvious reason.

Many Tokyo residents who wished for anti-nuclear generation supported the coalition of Hosokawa/Koizumi.

As long as so-called leftists lead the politics, anti-nuclear generation is never realized.

It would not develop into a national movement until influential people among the power elite in the past such as former prime ministers Hosokawa and Koizumi, who can oppose to vast authority promoting nuclear power generation.

Both former prime ministers Hosokawa and Koizumi have real intention to stop nuclear power generation.

Anti-nuclear movement will increasingly show its righteousness.

This is because various problems of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident will become more serious without radiation-contaminated water under control.

The Abe/LDP government and their bureaucrats cannot cope with them.

The problem will even threaten not to open the Tokyo Olympic Games.

It is just a matter of time before fundamental review of our country’s nuclear power policy becomes an unavoidable problem.

Only then the political movement posed by both of former prime ministers Hosokawa and Koizumi can create a new anti-nuclear party, which will demand the Abe/LDP government to change power.

We should consider that the defeat in the election of the Hosokawa/Koizumi coalition will be the starting point toward anti-nuclear country for Japan.

Huge UFOs Caught in Sky of Egypt (Video) –SaLuSa and His Company



Huge UFOs Caught in Sky of Egypt (Video)
 –SaLuSa and His Company-

These are UFOs SaLuSa and his friends go on board. Two UFOs are caught at around 4 second; SaLuSa goes on board one of the two, part of which appears on the right side of the screen and disappears on the same side.
The first contact with humans, which was slated for around 2025 a little while ago, is schedule to be made on January 1, 2017, well ahead of schedule. They are preparing for the event on the date. Although there is a possibility that the event will fall behind schedule, I think they have been making all-out efforts to have humans recognize the existence of UFOs and aliens and not to make us wage World War III.

Huge UFOs Caught in Sky of Egypt (Video)


Hurghada, a tourist spot in Egypt, seems to significantly interest extraterrestrial civilization. On Sunday, giant UFOs were spotted in the sky above the town.

Big flying objects, which were silently flying from the coastal area toward the mountains, were captured on cameras or videos. According to the Environment Ministry, however, they appeared as if old satellites had fallen into the desert or bright stars were approaching the earth.

Tourists and local residents, who do not support such opinion, are making heated discussions about the UFOs. Although a model bomb was found at a hospital in the town, it was completely forgotten by this UFO uproar. Presumably, the model bomb was left behind by somebody to cause a panic.


Proper Advice That As Many Japanese And Tokyo Residents As Possible Should Take – ROCKWAY EXPRESS: Worst Drought In 500 Years –



Proper Advice That As Many Japanese And
 Tokyo Residents As Possible Should Take   
- ROCKWAY EXPRESS: Worst Drought In 500 Years –

Reading this article, I have found that it is a fairy serious problem given a scale of drastic changes to come. People who are highly sensitive and have sound judgment like the administrator of this blog ROCKWAY EXPRESS are few and far between in this world. I feel that very few people can properly respond to changes to come and people who fail to do so will be caught up in a swirling vortex of disorders.

I think we have managed to evade such events that were likely to have fatal and negative effect on not only humans but all living beings such as a World War III, super solar flare and pole shift. I expected that if we get lucky, we would be able to minimize chaos resulting from economic collapse and subsequent food crisis and get through them. Reading this article, however, I’ve come to feel that people will have to experience a great deal of suffering.

Let’s take nuclear power plants for example. It is obvious what is right or wrong. Given that very few people seriously cope with the problem to abolish them, however, it seems that very few would be able to adapt to new higher vibrations. I feel that other people would get disturbed and curse the heaven in the midst of drastic changes to come and then ruin themselves. It can be said that it serves them right. I am very sorry to say it is.

As shown in an excellent article of a blog ‘Kaleidoscope,’ I also think that an earthquake occurring directly beneath the Tokyo Metropolitan Area would be unavoidable. I have already mentioned it in “Warning 1 from Deities.” There is no doubt that they would take place before too long, though the timing is uncertain. I feel that around 2016 is dangerous. However, since the future is not certain, the timing or the scale is changed significantly by Tokyo residents in particular.
I think that a key to minimize a scale of “drastic changes” is that as many Japanese and Tokyo residents as possible should seriously take advice of the administrator of EOCKWAY EXPRESS: to “have a sense of gratitude” for Nature. If this is realized, no wars or nuclear power plants can exist. I just hope that people will not choose to have them exist.

West Coast Is “On Track for Having the Worst Drought In 200 Years”


Lake Folsom, North California Dries Up

While the Northeast and Middle parts of the U.S. are hit by cold waves, the West Coast threatens to be hit by droughts. These droughts as well as annual bush fires seem to linger. An expert says that that the West might be on track for a “Mega Drought,” which can last decades or even centuries.

Since the earth seems to make drastic changes in the coming age, we have to make preparations in many ways. In this regard, it appears that a key to minimize a scale of “drastic changes” is that humans should have a sense of gratitude for the sun and the earth, that is, Nature.

West Coast Is “On Track for Having the Worst Drought In 200 Years”

[February 3 GlobalResearch]

Is the West Coast In the Middle of a “Mega Drought”?
The Los Angeles Times reports:
“We are on track for having the worst drought in 500 years,” said B. Lynn Ingram, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at the University of California, Berkeley.
California droughts can last decades … or even centuries. As the San Jose Mercury News points out:
Through studies of tree rings, sediment and other natural evidence, researchers have documented multiple droughts in California that lasted 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years — compared to the mere three-year duration of the current dry spell. The two most severe megadroughts make the Dust Bowl of the 1930s look tame: a 240-year-long drought that started in 850 and, 50 years after the conclusion of that one, another that stretched at least 180 years.
“We continue to run California as if the longest drought we are ever going to encounter is about seven years,” said Scott Stine, a professor of geography and environmental studies at Cal State East Bay. “We’re living in a dream world.”
***
Some scientists believe we are already in a megadrought, although that view is not universally accepted.
Bill Patzert, a research scientist and oceanographer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, says that the West is in a 20-year drought that began in 2000. He cites the fact that a phenomenon known as a “negative Pacific decadal oscillation” [not linked to climate change] is underway — and that historically has been linked to extreme high-pressure ridges that block storms.

False Information from the Dark Ones and Lights Destroying Fools Who Don’t Accept the Presence of God

False Information from the Dark Ones and 
Lights Destroying Fools Who Don’t Accept the Presence of God 

This is the false information from the dark Ones. Reading this urgent message, we can tell that the dark Ones and their company light workers have been driven into the corner to a great degree and they have felt pressed. I suppose they knew that they would be destroyed if they take a careless action on the appointed date. So they sent a message to ground crew in an attempt to call attention to it. This information is not accurate, but despite this, false information is provided on purpose. Since the organization is most likely to be on the brink of collapse now, circulation of such communication will reveal who the spy sneaking into the Galactic Federation is. Those who know a Japanese anime series Nintama Rantaro will understand very well the level that Rantaro, an underachiever, has reached at a nija school. This is the same level as his.

To tell the truth, the light of Elizabeth Taylor, the light of Esther and the light of Julia Livia was showered on February 1 at 12 a.m. – 1 a.m., on February 2 at 1 a.m. – 2 a.m. and on February 3 at 2 a.m. – 3 a.m., respectively. Earthlings who received the Light on January 1 at noon had the Sahasrara chakra awakened with Kundalini ascending to the Sahasrara chakra on the body surface route; seven percent of the Sahasrara chakra was awakened at that time. After subsequently receiving each Light during the three days, 35 percent of the Sahasrara chakra, 70 percent and 100 percent has been awakened up to the present date.
Although many people might feel odd or tense physically because they have never such expansion of consciousness before, they will get used to the blissful state, which uplifts them spiritually, soon.

There is one other thing to note here: there were people who failed to receive the Lights. They are represented by the being that sent this urgent message, his company, and light workers connected with them. Since these Lights also served to destroy fools who don’t accept the presence of God, such people were completely destroyed. Specifically, the dark Ones including this being and other beings who sent false messages by assuming the name of Archangel Michael or Archangel Metatron have been in the depth of agony. They have developed reactive psychosis and their condition will radically worsen. They will become aware of their serious mental disorders and everybody that knows them will also realize it. It will take less than half a year for them to become socially maladjusted. The bad beings that do wrong in the disguise of light beings will see a miserable end.

Urgent Message for Ground Crew – Next 72 Hours 1/29/14 –2/1/14
Based on the information that I have received from Andromeda and Pleiades, ……..a major wave of new information and the destruction of the matrix energies in those who are still sleeping is about to occur which will allow for major intergalactic events to take place.

We are asked to once again regroup. What this means is to enter a meditative state for the next 72 hours. This means not to actually sit in the meditation, but become completely balanced and completely aware of every single second, to fully and completely be in the NOW as each and every single one of you will be receiving information from your respective galactic links. This energy influx is to come from those stationed above GAIA, the planetary alignments and the energies from our divine higher selves.

Many of key ground crew light workers are going to be tested. Pay attention and know that no matter what is happening, you are NOT to react. Do not allow yourself to react in the negative way. Keep your vibrations high, as hard as it might be for you, you must remove yourself psychologically from the negative situations and rise above.

You need to keep your tranquility and balance and light, and unconditional love for the next 72 hours.

Please understand and remember that you as light workers hold tremendous powers and sphere of influence. You are here to anchor the light and it’s incredibly important to do so in the next 72 hours.
The reason is as I’ve mentioned above, much cleansing energy is about to enter our planet yet again…………….
……………………………………………….

I was told that 1 light worker, has the influence of at least 18 miles radius around them. When you walk around, you are influencing at least 18 miles in any direction.
Since the energies are going to hit people once again and awaken them from deep sleep, much chaos may unfold. Our light is going to be needed by those who are awakening, by keeping our vibrations high whomever will awaken in our vicinity will not be hit as hard, and the fear will automatically be transformed and leave them faster allowing them to peacefully resolve their awakening instead of trying to hurt themselves or others around them. ……………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………. .

Please do everything possible to keep your energy in balance, in peace, in harmony, in light, in unconditional love. ………………………………………..

A really good way that works for many instantaneously ………. is aligns every single chakra energy point in your body, is the following:
  • Stand up straight and put your palms together in a “prayer” position with your feet and legs touching each other.
  • Close your eyes and begin to SLOWLY breath in and out, 7 times.
  • As you breath in you are to think of each of the Chakra colors, and breath into the chakra corresponding to each color. So if you begin with your crown chakra breathe in the violet/purple color and feel your chakra activate by fully focusing on it, completely feeling the tingling sensation of activation and peace spread throughout that area of your body, as you breathe out think of everything that is not working for your highest good leaving your body.
  • Continue to do so until you are done with all 7 breath.
  • Then lift your hands up with the palms still touching and spread them open and place your palms on the side of your legs.
That is all, you should feel your peace and harmony and balance restore!
Do whatever you must in order to feel only love, light, peace, joy, harmony and BALANCE in the next 72 hours. Thank you !!! I love you all!!!

– Rampancy of Norovirus –

As you can see, norovirus is going on a rampage. In the article, it seems that a source of infection is “an unconventional virus” because of inexplicable nature. As I have explained about it so far, it is due to a rapid decline in human immunity. Therefore, it is far from easily passing, but rather there is a possibility that it will spread throughout the world along with bird flu and swine flu.
Since most of earthling, who failed to receive the Light showered on January 1, have reduced functioning of endocrine gland as well as immunity, so-called incurable diseases will increase to an inconsiderable degree. It is possible that mental illnesses including depression and dementia will rapidly increase. This outcome was anticipated after the perihelion passage of Comet ISON in the middle of December last year.

Norovirus – Outbreak of New Type? Infection Spreads

Norovirus is going on a rampage all over the country. Although the outbreak is usually supposed to pass around the yearend, the news of large-scale infection with the virus has been heard this season even after the start of a new year. It is presumably due to the spread of an unconventional virus.

Norovirus is the virus which grows in the human bowel. It is such a highly infectious virus that it was called “stomach flu” and accompanies a symptom of severe diarrhea.

Infection with norovirus is through entering into the mouth from a hand which touches the stools of an infected person. Alcohol is ineffective in destroying the virus and hypochlorous acid contained in bleach is used to sterilize it. It is said that recently anti-bacterial spray containing diluted hypochlorous acid is available.

Norovirus spreads to hundreds of people through school lunch or spreads in facilities for the elderly. It is necessary to take organizational measures mainly in places where food service is provided.

Norovirus was detected at a town Norwalk, America, in 1968. At that time, it was named after the place and called Norwalk virus. Subsequently, the international society shortened the name and named as norovirus. The name has become vague in the meaning. (Yoshihiko Tamura)

All infected people, mildly symptomatic patients, are getting better.

According to the Food/Sanitation Section of the prefecture, on January 28, a cook in the nursing home in question prepared dinner for residents, ten of whom complained symptoms of diarrhea and others. Norovirus was also detected from the cook.

Shingu Public Health Center has concluded that infection with the virus was due to the dinner provided and ordered the cooking section to suspend business.

100 People Off Sick with Complaints of Vomit in Yokohama City-run Hatsunegaoka Elementary School

On 30 Yokohama City Board of Education releases that a total of 100 people including children, teachers and kitchen employees had been off sick with complaints of vomit or diarrhea and norovirus was detected from 11 people including children and kitchen employees in City-run Hatsunegaoka Elementary School. According to the Board, all infected people have mild symptoms and the number of absentees is decreasing.

According to the Board of Education, 96 children ( from first to sixth graders) and 3 teachers, who had symptoms of vomit or diarrhea, were off sick during a period from 27 to 30 and one kitchen employee was absent from work. Norovirus was detected among the stools of 5 children, 5 kitchen employees and 1 teacher.

The school has a single-handed school-feeding system in which the caterers contracted by the municipal government cook school lunches at kitchen in school. Group infection was found only in this school, not in other schools where the same ingredients were used. Hodogaya Welfare Heath Center is investigating the infection route.

The school changed lunch menu and served only heated food and disinfected the school on 27. Serving food other than separately packaged food such as milk and bread has been suspended from 28. Some events like a school assembly have been postponed.

According to a statement by the prefecture government, 8 people aged between 78 and 98 hospitalized on the same floor and 4 care employees in charge of inpatients on the floor complained symptoms of diarrhea or vomit during a period of January 23-29. Norovirus was detected from all of them with a test. The female patient died on 30 and other 11 people reportedly are getting better.

There were 174 inpatients and 163 staff members in the hospital on 30. The hospital made a comment: “We are deeply sorry for the deceased woman and the bereaved family. We would like to carry out through disinfection under the guidance of the health center.”

He has no power to affect national politics. – Election to Test Future Direction of Japan –



He has no power to affect national politics. 
– Election to Test Future Direction of Japan –

I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Motozawa. As he says, regrettably, Mr. Utsunomiya has no political power and “he has no power to affect national politics.” The coming election is not simply a gubernatorial election but an election to test the future direction of Japan. Under the present situation where the population is excessively concentrated in Tokyo, I am afraid that most of public opinion is represented by Tokyo residents.

I think many earthlings have paid so much attention to their own profit and loss that they have lacked in comprehensive perspective. However, the March 11 casualty have awakened the people to the truth that such self-centered way of thinking or consciousness will lead to the collapse of the world. Since the start of 2014, a big shift has been seen in human consciousness; they have become aware that prioritizing the interests of the entire humanity and entire earth over individual profit and loss will result in individual interest. It is very important to see things from a wider perspective.

<Significance of Tokyo gubernatorial election>

The voting day for Tokyo Metropolitan gubernatorial election is next Sunday (February 9). This election is an opportunity for electorate to cast a politically important vote. It is not simply a local governmental election. It is an opportunity to not only change national politics but reform national politics. The coalition government of LDP led by Abe and Komei, which has forcibly implemented policies, contrary to public promises, one after another, is the very dictatorship. Tokyo residents and the people of Japan have a responsibility to choose as Tokyo governor a person who can put a brake on the government. This is a very important election in this sense.

<National Politics-Level Election>

The other day I asked several Tokyo residents about what they thought about the election. I was surprised to learn that they didn’t recognize that their voting would have serious and important meaning. This is due to a problem with the press has reported a biased coverage of the election by trivializing the problem. Proper political comments have not been made.
The coverage seems to indicate the intention of the government and the financial world, which is to make this opportunity pass away by keeping Tokyo residents ignorant.

This is an important election for Japanese to choose this important turning point: whether we will promote Japanese economy, showing the dark side of a sharp depreciation of the yen caused by printing paper money of yen; whether we will follow diplomacy isolated by Abe’s visit to Yasukuni Shrine; whether we will militarize Japanese economics by exporting nuclear power (nuclear power stations) and weapons; or whether we will make Japan a country of peace and friendship as well as a country of 21st century-type advanced energy, which can create a new industry by containing nuclear power (nuclear power plants) and switching over to natural energy.

<Selection of Governor to Change National Politics>

Never make the election a Tokyo residents-level one. It should be a chance to caste a clean vote from a broad perspective. Looking at the policy pledges, for example, a lawyer, former NHK employee, definitely right, but he has no power to affect national politics.

By all means we have to make this the election which will give a low to the ultra-rightist politics led by the Abe cabinet. We will reform the Abe political line by choosing a candidate who can do so. One vote should be cast to achieve this goal. Since Okinawa fought it out to achieve a goal, why not in Tokyo?
This is one chance in million for Asia and the world, too. This is an unexpected result of the Tokushukai incident. If Tokyo residents make effective use of it, it is possible to save Japan from becoming a global orphan. You can tell who the person is by looking at the pledge of each candidate.

<LDP/Komei if you are content with Abe politics>

To be honest, if you highly evaluate this ultra-rightist politics, you can vote for a candidate recommended by LDP/Komei. Neighboring countries are watching this election with great interest.

The media, which is said to be fair and impartial, won’t report any allegation of money scandals of a candidate fielded by LDP/Komei or seek a comment from him. Why? Are they going to approve a second Inose ?
His private life surprises us. I wonder if it is all right to pass over the allegations.

<Coalition of Hokokawa and Koizumi if you say NO>

If you expect a constructive reform of Japanese politics, needless to say, Hosokawa should be chosen. He has political power with which he can abolish nuclear power generation and stop exporting nuclear reactors in direct opposition to the zaibatsu conglomerates and Nuclear Power Village.

He will establish a 21-century type acceptable economic structure and send messages to neighboring countries from Tokyo to normalize the relations with them, which will drive the Abe cabinet into the corner. He will be able to stop Japan from being isolated. He can push through reorganizing the political world with his strong connections to liberals and close in the ultra-right politics with them. This is what this writer wants to be realized. Looking straight at Japan’s current situation, this is the favorable result of the Tokyo gubernatorial election.

<NO against Constitutional Revision and Military expansion by Abe>

It is not acceptable to make Japan a country of exporting nuclear power (nuclear power plants) and weapons. We should never make Japan a country which is allowed to exercise the right to collective defense and wage a war. We should never Japan a country which will terrorize the world and Asia. We Japanese have the responsibility and obligation to produce the same achievements as Okinawa residents did, in Tokyo too. We should never bow down to any unreliable opinion polls.
We still have one more week. Why don’t we cheer for the reformist candidate for Tokyo governor? When seeing him working his old bones hard, I am impressed with him very much. We should not choose an epigon of Ishihara or Inose. We should never deteriorate the metropolitan government with vested-interest produced by Olympic Games.
We should never miss a chance to give a blow of revolution to Nagata-cho, Kasumigaseki and Otemachi with sound metropolitan government.

- Mr. Takeshita’s intuition also tells Mr. Hosokawa Apparently Stays Ahead –

Since my intuition also tells that Mr. Hosokawa apparently stays ahead, I think that this opinion poll is manipulated. I suppose what is written in this article is accurate. His victory in the election is assured. Let’s cheer up the Hosokawa camp more.

Opinion Poll of “Tokyo Gubernatorial Election” by LDP Shows Mr. Masuzoe Is Second Favorite?

The Tokyo gubernatorial election is held on February 9 and the votes are counted on the same day. According to the research by each press, Mr. Yoichi Masuzoe is widely thought to be ahead of the game. Actually, however, it is said that the LDP Tokyo Metropolitan Federation, which supports Mr. Masuzoe, has a different prediction.

Mr. T of LDP Tokyo Metropolitan Federation reveals:

According to the results of the opinion poll independently conducted by LDP, Mr. (Morihiro) Hosokawa has stayed ahead at this time, but ….. Although the opinion polls conducted by newspapers, TV or Internet might have different results, they are unreliable because of low accuracy resulting from a bias in respondents in ordinary opinion polls. For example, in the case of a phone survey, the results were obtained from people who answered the phone and additionally answered questions in the households installed with conventional phones, which are quite rare these days. There is a bias virtually towards middle-aged and older housewives or the elders in the survey results.”

Then what about Internet survey?

“It’s the same with Internet survey. In this survey questions are scattered among pre-registrants who have fallen for a little relished perk, which results in a bias towards young people who don’t go to the polls. In our party’s survey, those surveyed are the groups who are highly likely to go to the polls and the results are figured out by filtering the data them by means of our long years of experience and statistics. The Tokyo gubernatorial election produces predictable results with a high degree of accuracy, whose margin of error is within plus or minus 5,000 votes. The latest survey was conducted during the immediately after and immediately before de facto announcement to run for the election by Mr. Hokokawa accompanied by Mr. Koizumi. The results showed that Mr. Hoksokawa unexpectedly stayed ahead.” (Mr. T)

Since the LDP boasts of the high-accuracy of its opinion poll and yet the poll had the result of “predominance of Mr. Hosokawa,” the result must have made the party feel pressed.

On top of that, Mr. Masuzoe had an “unfavorable wind” within the LDP. Mr. T continues:

To make the matter worse, on January 17, Shinjiro (Koizumi) made a statement that he won’t support Mr. Masuzoe, which had a significant impact on support to Mr. Masuzoe. It must have widened the gap. However, Mr. Hokokawa held a belated meeting to announce for running for the election due to insufficient preparations or refused to participate in various debates. Since Mr. Hosokawa gave a bad impression on the public, the gap is slightly lessened. But it’s still not enough. The election campaign after the announcement is a serious match.”

Incidentally, in this independent survey, Mr. Kenji Utsunomiya is the third favorite with Mr. Isao Tamogami a close forth.

However, with an overwhelming organizing power of LDP and Komei, will Mr. Masuzoe become a winner as expected?

“We wish we could. As a matter of fact, LDP is not unified in terms of nuclear power generation. There are unexpectedly many “supporters of abolishment of nuclear power generation” within the party. Although they apparently rise in rebellion, they support Mr. Hosokawa behind the scenes. Tokyo has not only Diet members but also Metropolitan Assembly members, Ward Assembly members and municipal government members, doesn’t it? If they should provide a name list of supporters, which is the “life of election,” to the Hokokawa camp, what will happen? The difference in organizing power is unexpectedly fragile.” (Mr. T)

Does he mean what he says or intent to shake up other camps? At any rate, there is no doubt that the Tokyo gubernatorial election will produce an unpredictable result.

– High incident of suicides in London financial district –

Judging from the situation described in this article, a financial collapse seems to be sure to come. This coming collapse is considered to be far beyond the collapse of Leman Brothers. I think we are required to brace ourselves for it. I advise you to draw money from banks little by little to have cash in hand. There are not many readers of this blog and the readers are not likely to have trouble drawing money. I hear that Ms. Karen Hudes, ex-senior counsel in the legal department of World Bank, bought gold as insurance against financial collapse. However, it is too late to buy gold. At worst, gold may be taken away from deposits paid as property tax due to deposit closure, because the government completely gets the information on every gold buyer. Wise people have bought gold coins to prevent their property from being confiscated. Since gold coins can be bought as art works on an auction, nobody knows who bought them. However, such action can be taken only by wealthy people who have been making careful preparations for the past decade, predicting a financial collapse will come.

For ordinary people, as I have repeatedly told you, it is necessary to secure food and water and it is desirable to have a cottage as a shelter in the countryside, if possible. This is because real assets such as land and buildings will become very important as it is likely that once a financial collapse occurs, insurance and pension will become void. It is said that in Germany one hen producing eggs was equivalent to more than one house in value at the time of hyperinflation. In other words, people who can have land where vegetables are grown become winners at the last moment. Although I don’t want such world to come, of course, we have to assume the worst possible scenario. Additionally, non-perishable goods such as alcoholic beverage, tobacco, salt and sugar that can be stored for quite a while are important because they can be used as currency in barter trade (on the black market). When a financial collapse infallibly comes, I’ll stock up on whisky, brandy, etc. Even if they should become useless, I have no risk of making a loss, because I am a big drinker and am looking forward to drinking them in the future. This is the matter against which warnings are given from various quarters. Please never fail to prepare for it.

High incident of suicides in London financial district

Source:

(Summary)
January 28

Bankers committing suicide by jumping from the rooftops of their own banks is something that we think of when we think of the Great Depression. Well, it just happened in London, England. A vice president at JPMorgan's European headquarters in London plunged to his death after jumping from the top of the 33rd floor. He fell more than 500 feet, and it is being reported by an eyewitness that "there was quite a lot of blood". This comes on the heels of news that a former Deutsche Bank executive was found hanged in his home in London on Sunday. So why is this happening? Yes, the markets have gone down a little bit recently but they certainly have not crashed yet. Could there be more to these deaths than meets the eye? You never know. And as I will discuss below, there have been a lot of other really strange things happening around the world lately as well.
But before we get to any of that, let's take a closer look at some of these banker deaths. The JPMorgan executive that jumped to his death on Tuesday was named Gabriel Magee. He was 39 years old, and his suicide has the city of London in shock...
A bank executive who died after jumping 500ft from the top of JP Morgan's European headquarters in London this morning has been named as Gabriel Magee.
The American senior manager, 39, fell from the 33-story skyscraper and was found on the ninth floor roof, which surrounds the Canary Wharf skyscraper.

He was a vice president in the corporate and investment bank technology department having joined in 2004, moving to Britain from the United States in 2007.
What would cause a man in his prime working years who is making huge amounts of money to do something like that?
The death on Sunday of former Deutsche Bank executive Bill Broeksmit is also a mystery. According to the Daily Mail, police consider his death to be "non-suspicious", which means that they believe that it was a suicide and not a murder...
……………………………………………………….. .
Mr Broeksmit - who retired last February - was a former senior manager with close ties to co-chief executive Anshu Jain. Metropolitan Police officers said his death was declared as non-suspicious.
On top of that, Business Insider is reporting that a communications director at another bank in London was found dead last week...
Last week, a U.K.-based communications director atSwiss ReAGdied last week. The cause of death has not been made public.
…………………………………………………… .
And London is rather dreary this time of the year. It is easy for people to get depressed if they are not accustomed to endless gloomy weather.
If the stock market was already crashing, it would be easy to blame the suicides on that. The world certainly remembers what happened during the crash of 1929...
Historically, bankers have been stereotyped as the most likely to commit suicide. This has a lot to do with the famous 1929 stock market crash, which resulted in 1,616 banks failing and more than 20,000 businesses going bankrupt. The number of bankers committing suicide directly after the crash is thought to have been only around 20, with another 100 people connected to the financial industry dying at their own hand within the year.
But the market isn't crashing just yet. We definitely appear to be at a "turning point", but things are still at least somewhat stable.
So why are bankers killing themselves?
That is a good question.
As I mentioned above, there have also been quite a few other strange things that have happened lately that seem to be "out of place".
For example, Matt Drudge of the Drudge Report posted the following cryptic message on Twitter the other day...
"Have an exit plan..."
What in the world does he mean by that?
Maybe that is just a case of Drudge being Drudge.
Then again, maybe not.
And on Tuesday we learned that a prominent Russian Bank has banned all cash withdrawals until next week...
Bloomberg reports that 'My Bank' - one of Russia's top 200 lenders by assets - has introduced a complete ban on cash withdrawals until next week. While the Ruble has been losing ground rapidly recently, we suspect few have been expecting bank runs in Russia.
Yes, we have heard some reports of people having difficulty getting money out of their banks around the world lately, but this news out of Russia really surprised me.
Yet another story that seemed rather odd was a report in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week that stated that Germany's central bank is advocating "a one-time wealth tax" for European nations that need a bailout...
Germany's central bank Monday proposed a one-time wealth tax as an option for euro-zone countries facing bankruptcy, reviving a idea that has circled for years in Europe but has so far gained little traction.
Why would they be suggesting such a thing if "economic recovery" was just around the corner?
According to that same article, the IMF has recommended a similar thing...
………………………… . A 10% tax would bring the debt levels of a sample of 15 euro-zone member countries back to pre-crisis levels of 2007, the IMF said.
So what does all of this mean?
I am not exactly sure, but I have got a bad feeling about this - especially considering the financial chaos that we are witnessing in emerging markets all over the globe right now.
