Immediate Report from Insider of World Bank, Karen Hudes

Immediate Report from Insider of World Bank, Karen Hudes
I think this is the information which Mr. Fulford criticized in the previous article.  However, I don’ think that what she talks about in the video is false information.  If Ms. Hudes with such great career and assignment should give false information, she would completely lose her confidence and nobody would believe her.  Since she has provided such important information, it would be wise to wait and see a while in order to ascertain whether her information is true or false.
However, what she talks about is consistent with what I have commented so far and it is the very prediction about the future I have provided.
I want to say that if such proper economic system that she mentions is established, not the currency backed by gold but weighted average efficiency of GDP of individual countries would be used as a common currency in trade some day.  On top of that, if people become more awakened and evil humans with a get-rich-quick mentality, who think that welfare-recipients are winners and hard workers are losers, disappear from Earth, no currency would exist.  Regrettably, humans have not yet reached such level of awareness.

Translator's Note: The following is machine translation of the video content, which is originally transcribed in Japanese by the author of this article. See the above video to get accurate information.

Hello, Karen Hyudasu: It is (I was listening to the pronunciation of the family name from the person for the first time.).
Today is July 8. I am shedding this video from the hotel in Tokyo. I'm staying in Tokyo from about six weeks ago, its purpose is to convey to all the countries over the world, including Japan, what was established by the General Conference of the IMF and World Bank.

That the IMF and the World Bank has decided to:
Be returned to the currency backed by gold paper money around the world using the (gold) gold agency called (World debt agency?) Global Debt Facility owns it was decided. Interest rate comes with a bill of world central banks have been printing. This is a scam. You would like me explain to you in detail on this matter.

I sent as well (member countries of the World Bank), 188 countries and the World Bank, and Taiwan island nation, even in a small North Korea this letter.
Decisions of this time will be applied country in the world that not only member countries of the World Bank, have already met with confusion damage of fraud of the global financial cartel people, to people. In fact, the global financial cartel has collapsed. And will announce soon, countries around the world, and collapsed the global financial cartel.

Future, the power of the global financial cartel's weakens gradually it is certain. This has become clear from the expert analysis, but currently, the transition of power is taking place, a new coalition 133 countries including BRICS you want to break away from the control system by the global financial cartel to members has been formed. Why the IMF was founded in 1944. . . Jose Rizal of the Prophet for a long time, was engaged in the Vatican wants cut off the relationship from corruption and corruption of the Vatican, I went back to their native Philippines. His father was Prince Tomano twin brother of Victoria British princess (brother).

He In the Philippines, we established a fund with a lawyer very good. For people all over the world, he was introduced to fund a property around the world. Then, 50 years, this fund has been stored in the not used to anyone. Therefore, no one, no longer be able to claim property that has been put into the fund is a thing of the own.

'50 Have passed in 2005. But financial cartel, ignored the advice person with signing authority for this Fund (Mr. strut?)

Mr. strut, and asked when the activities are an attempt to Owaraseyo corruption and corruption in the international financial system is I, and I want you to join the advisory committee to me. Since, I've been active as a member of the advisory committee of the strut's.

It where it was found to. . . It is gold in the world that had been stored in order to help people around the world to fund here.

Gold stored in this fund has made ​​available to countries around the world. I was given from the World Bank to transfer the authority to run it.

The reason that it can do is that I am like that. . . I was responsible for the legal case of bondholders as (top financial Ministry of Development) members of the Board of Directors of the World Bank, but it is because we returned to the office of the World Bank again in December 2012.

It was not possible to reveal that I have been active again in the World Bank. Because, because had been given a mission to wipe out corruption and corruption of the financial cartel me. Because Some members of the cartel to finance internal World Bank.

Some people say that gold that is stored in this fund as something that was in Japan originally, but it is not. Gold stored in the Fund is collected Fund (= World debt agency) from the beginning. Please see my website for more information.

Future, I will use for people around the world the gold that is stored in this fund.From the bill of the central bank so far, I switched to the currency that is backed by gold. Snip

However, people around the world are concerned, we do not warrant that such information is trying to build a world single currency of the NWO. It is that change in local currency nations of the world are backed by gold bill of their own. Moreover, no new currency will be used as part of the governance structure. In the future, I will be able community to issue its own currency. Gold coin will also be cast.

In addition, it means that a small amount of gold is used for currency around the world to develop the technology of casting gold. It is that this is, as determined by the general meeting of the IMF and World Bank. Please contact us at any time If you have any questions about this.

A New Recession and a New World Devoid of Washington’s Arrogance?

A New Recession and a New World Devoid of Washington’s Arrogance?


What is written in this article is quite right.  I find the part “The US economy cannot grow because (corporations pushed by Wall Street) have moved the US economy offshore” interesting.

Japan’s smaller businesses are driven to the brink of devastation now.  Abenomics which takes after U.S. will result in devastation of the Japanese economy.  There is a phrase in the article: “years of unprecedented Quantitative Easing failed to revive the economy.  What then can revive the economy?”  In a country whose economy has been devastated, distribution of capitals by intense credit control instrument has to be done, like Japan that succeeded in recovery after the war.
In a word, it is necessary to promote an industry based on a new vision for the future.  I think it is very doable by diverting military technology for the private sector.  For example, science technology should be applicable, as much as we want, to whatever it may be, medical services or agriculture, in an earth-friendly and harmless manner.

The U.S. has impeded a program for prosperity of mankind, as shown at the end of sentences, and it is the inflationary policy of subject states like Japan that helps the U.S. to survive long.  If we wish for world peace, we have no other choice but to deprive FRB of the ability to print dollar bills.  And yet, Japan has printed a massive amount of yen in accordance with Abenomics and bought U.S. government bonds, which has provided funding to the U.S.  Since U.S. bonds cannot be sold (anyone who tries to sell them would be killed like Shoichi Nakagawa), it is practically equal to donation (actually, getting blackmailed).  It is really shameful that many people believe that yes-men to U.S. are patriots.

Excerpt from a Japanese article: Overseas Article Never Covered by Mass Media – June 29, 2014 –


A New Recession and a New World Devoid of Washington’s Arrogance?

Paul Craig Roberts
June 25, 2014.

 A final number for real US GDP growth in the first quarter of 2014 was released today. The number is not the 2.6% growth rate predicted by the know-nothing economists in January of this year. The number is a decline in GDP of -2.9 percent.

The negative growth rate of -2.9 percent is itself an understatement. This number was achieved by deflating nominal GDP with an understated measure of inflation. During the Clinton regime, the Boskin Commission rigged the inflation measure in order to cheat Social Security recipients out of their cost-of-living adjustments. Anyone who purchases food, fuel, or anything knows that inflation is much higher than the officially reported number.

It is possible that the drop in first quarter real GDP is three times the official number.
……….    

The US economy cannot grow because corporations pushed by Wall Street have moved the US economy offshore. US manufactured products are made offshore. Look at the labels on your clothes, your shoes, your eating and cooking utensils, your computers, whatever. US professional jobs such as software engineering have been moved offshore. An economy with an offshored economy is not an economy. All of this happened in full view, while well-paid free market shills declared that Americans were benefiting from giving America’s middle class jobs to China and India.

I have been exposing these lies for a decade or two, which is why I am no longer invited to speak at American universities or to American economic associations. Economists love the money that they receive for lying. ………. 

……….   

Imagine the consequences of a recession. It means that years of unprecedented Quantitative Easing failed to revive the economy. It means that years of Keynesian fiscal deficits failed to revive the economy. Neither fiscal nor monetary policy worked. What then can revive the economy?
Nothing except to force the return of the economy that the anti-American corporations moved offshore.

……….    

The poor US economic outlook has brought America’s two largest business lobbies–the US Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers (or what is left of them) into conflict with the Obama regime’s threat of further sanctions against Russia.
According to Bloomberg News, beginning tomorrow (June 26), the business groups will run advertisements in the New York Times, Wall St Journal, and Washington Post opposing any further sanctions on Russia. The US business organizations say that the sanctions will harm their profits and result in layoffs of American workers.

Thus, America’s two largest business organizations, important sources of political campaign contributions, have finally added their voice to the voices of German, French, and Italian business.
Everyone, except the brainwashed American public, knows that the “crisis in Ukraine” is entirely the work of Washington. European and American businesses are asking: “why should our profits and our workers take hits in behalf of Washington’s propaganda against Russia.”

Obama has no answer. Perhaps his neocon scum, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Powers, and Susan Rice can come up with an answer. Obama can look to the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and Weekly Standard to explain why millions of Americans and Europeans should suffer in order that Washington’s theft of Ukraine is not endangered.

……….   .

Dissent with Washington and Washington’s two-bit puppet rulers in Europe is spreading. The latest poll in Germany reveals that three-quarters of Germany’s population rejectpermanent NATO bases in Poland and the Baltic states. The former Czechoslovakia, currently Slovakia and the Czech Republic, although NATO members, have rejected NATO and American troops and bases on their territory. Recently, the Polish foreign minister said that pleasing Washington required giving free oral sex for nothing in return.

The strains that Washington’s morons are putting on NATO might break the organization apart. Pray that it does. NATO’s excuse for existence disappeared with the Soviet collapse 23 years ago. Yet, Washington has increased NATO far beyond the borders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO now runs from the Baltics to Central Asia. In order to have a reason for NATO’s continued expensive operation, Washington has had to construct an enemy out of Russia.

Russia has no intention of being Washington’s or NATO’s enemy and has made that perfectly clear. But Washington’s military/security complex, which absorbs about $1 trillion annually of US hard-pressed taxpayers’ money, needs an excuse to keep the profits flowing.

Unfortunately the Washington morons picked a dangerous enemy. Russia is a nuclear armed power, a country of vast dimensions, and with a strategic alliance with China.

Only a government drowning in arrogance and hubris or a government run by psychopaths and sociopaths would pick such an enemy.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has pointed out to Europe that Washington’s policies in the Middle East and Libya are not merely total failures but also devastatingly harmful to Europe and Russia. The fools in Washington have removed the governments that suppressed the jihadists. Now the violent jihadists are unleashed. In the Middle East the jihadists are at work remaking the artificial boundaries set by the British and French in the aftermath of World War I.

Europe, Russia and China have Muslim populations and now must worry if the violence that Washington has unleashed will bring destabilization to regions of Europe, Russia and China.
……….  

On top of US political troubles, the US dollar is in trouble. The dollar is kept afloat by rigged financial markets and Washington’s pressure on its vassal states to support the dollar’s value by printing their own currencies and purchasing dollars. In order to keep the dollar afloat, much of the world will be inflated. When people finally catch on and rush into gold, the Chinese will have it all.
Sergey Glazyev, an adviser to President Putin, has told the Russian president than only an anti-dollar alliance that crashes the US dollar can halt Washington’s aggression. That has long been my opinion. There can be no peace as long as Washington can print more money with which to finance more wars.

As the Chinese government stated, it is time to “de-Americanize the world.”…..   . Unless Washington is replaced with more humane leadership, life on earth has no future.

Pope Francis Warns The Global Economy Is Near Collapse

Pope Francis Warns The Global Economy Is Near Collapse

Since Pope Francis has warned “The global economic system is near collapse,” it is almost certain that we will see great confusion.  I think that those who have prepared for it might feel that “The time has finally come”, but many people would be taken by surprise and get confused because they do not knowing what is going to happen, as shown in this article.
Although I don’t know exactly when such day will come, please never fail to stockpile food.

Masatoshi Takeshita

English translation of the excerpt from a Japanese article: Trend of Japan, World and Universe – June 19, 2014 –



(Summary)
In an interview with the Huffington Post on June 13, Pope Francis warned that the global economy was near collapse.

The pontiff said: “We can no longer sustain an economic system that to survive has to idolize money and make war.  We are excluding an entire generation to sustain a system that is not good.”

He was concerned about youth unemployment and denounced the influence of war and the military on the global economy.

“We discard a whole generation to maintain an economic system that no longer endures (an economic system of the big power to maintain economy by making war).  Since we cannot wage the Third World War, we make regional wars.  We make and sell arms to maintain our economy.  As a result, the balance sheets of the idolatrous economies – the big world economies that sacrifice man at the feet of the idol of money – are obviously cleaned up,” the Pope said.

According to the Huffington Post, Pope Francis is gaining a reputation for pointed comments on the global economy.  The Pope commemorated Thursday’s kick-off game of the World Cup – a global tournament that has so far cost host nation Brazil at least $15 billion and sparked violent protest by the country’s disenfranchised poor – with this message to his 4.14 million Twitter followers.




Declaration of Bankruptcy of the U.S. Corporate Government, Genocide in Nigeria, Unification of East Asia and others [Benjamin Fulford]

Declaration of Bankruptcy of the U.S. Corporate Government, Genocide in Nigeria, Unification of East Asia and others


I feel that the content of information from Mr. Fulford has become more specific. He says that “the declaration of bankruptcy of the US corporate government is just around the corner.” I agree with him. Since those at many levels from the Council of Foreign Relations and Bilderberg group to Japan handlers have been destroyed, the political climate should be significantly changed. They are getting panics because they see their company being destroyed one after another. However, they have no idea of the reason and they get all the more confused. Since the “Galactic Federation” is given the authority to intervene, they had better prepare to be executed upon doing wrong. Various incidents will break out from now on. The master mind of each incident would be executed.

Benjamin Fulford - June 9, 2014: Emergency meetings of Western elite fail to break financial deadlock, U

Emergency meetings of Western elite fail to break financial deadlock, US implosion now looms.

The emergency G7 plus Russia (but not G8) meeting last week has left the corporate government of the United States isolated from Europe and on the brink of bankruptcy. This French Government video of US corporate lackey Barack Obama meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin clearly shows Obama asking for something and being denied.
vine.co/v/MD5Lu5LKvrT

It now clear to everybody who is paying attention that the United States is bankrupt and is being kept on life support by fraud (eg. tiny Belgium buying all those Treasuries) and by the ongoing rape of Japan. This situation is untenable and the formal declaration of the bankruptcy of the United States of America Corporation is coming soon, according to Japanese government sources.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott of Australia last week suddenly cancelled long planned meetings with US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, IMF head Christine Lagarde and World Bank head Jim Yong Kim, even though Australia is scheduled to host the G20 summit in November. Does Abbot think these US corporate government institutions will not last until then?
The declaration of bankruptcy of the US corporate government would also mark the end of a 2000 year project by the Roman Empire to create a worldwide fascist dictatorship or New World Order, multiple sources agree.

The Nazi/Zionist response to their looming defeat is to threaten to unleash over 10,000 “blonde Al Qaeda,” terrorists on Europe and the US.
www.debka.com/article/23969/Thousands-of-al-Qaeda-terrorists-are-on-the-loose-in-US-and-Europe-%E2%80%93-under-the-radar-of-Western-intelligence

The ongoing mercenary attacks in the Ukraine and the recently manufactured China/Vietnam crisis are other snarls of this dying Nazi Zionist beast.
There is also obviously something very unusual going on with the IMF, with Director Christine Lagarde asking in public if she has to “get on her knees and beg.” Ostensibly, the begging is about mistaken IMF predictions for the UK economy but, the real reason is that the IMF is bankrupt, MI5 sources say.
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2652019/Do-I-knees-IMF-chief-Lagarde-faces-calls-apologise-Osborne-getting-wrong-UK-growth.html
That is also why Lagarde talked publicly last week about moving the IMF to China. The IMF may be shopping for a new sugar daddy but, China has better options than to finance an institution with as dismal a track record as that of the IMF.

Last week was also notable in that the hitherto secretive Bilderberg Group publicly came out and said they wanted to overthrow the current two party system of government in the United States.
William Van Duyn, a person who managed to stay under the radar until now, has now made public the opening speech he made at the recent Bilderberg meeting in Denmark.
pentracks.com/blog/2014/05/william-c-van-duyns-opening-remarks-bilderberg-mtg-2014/
In this speech, Van Duyn says it was his ancestors who “made sure the Eye is on the [U.S.] dollar bill.” This is the eye that has NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM or New World Order written under it. He also said “No president, no king, no dictator, nor prime minister dares to criticize my name nor the Bilderbergers, and they know they are the puppets of the powerful Illuminati working from behind the scenes.”This was followed later by “The subject of this Bilderberg meeting is the One World Government.”
Van Duyn concluded that from now own Bilderberg would rule in public and “control every movement within any government…create the rules…decide about nations policy.”
What he does not seem to realize is that secrecy was needed for them to rule and without it, they will lose power. Rule by murder, bribery and brainwashing needs secrecy or else it will invite rebellion.


The very fact they have gone public shows we are seeing the sort of rare information that only comes out at moments of regime change. For example, around the time of the fall of the Soviet Union, insiders revealed such things as the plans to turn the EU into the new Soviet Union, while ordinary Russians learned bad things they had never heard about their heroes Stalin, Lenin etc.

Another sign that it is not business as usual is that the European Central Bank has decided to start using negative interest rates. This means that if you keep money in the bank, it will start to vanish. The idea is to stimulate the economy by forcing people to spend their money instead of keeping in the bank. Also, to prevent people from just hoarding cash instead having their money in automatically shrinking accounts, the banks have begun to limit how much cash people can remove from their bank accounts. This unprecedented move is a public admission of economic desperation in the EU.

In the meantime, indications the Europeans are trying to overthrow the US Nazi regime have become visible on many levels. Most notably, the governments of Europe have now stopped using the US dollar to pay for their Russian or Middle Eastern gas and oil imports. If the largest economic bloc in the world is moving away from the petro-dollar, then the Federal Reserve Board petro-dollar is doomed.

It was also painfully obvious that nobody was going along anymore with Nazi/Zionist lies that Putin had invaded the Ukraine. Instead, the Germans and French have been working with the Russians to put down the Nazionist mercenary armies fighting in the Ukraine.

The Nazionist forces are not going down without a fight. They have compelled their Japanese slave colony to send troops into the Ukraine, according to Japanese Defense Ministry sources. There is also an article in the Japanese language version of the Russian Government Ria Novosti News Service confirming this claim.

japanese.ruvr.ru/news/2014_06_07/nihon-ukuraina

The Japanese troops were sent there to put pressure on Russia to agree to a G7 plan for a new financial system, according to a Japan based CIA source.

The Russians are pushing instead to strengthen the BRICS mechanism and say technical preparation for a BRICS bank are well under way. The fact that Argentina is now talking about joining the BRICS alliance is very interesting because this is where Pope Francis hails from, meaning the Vatican could be switching to the BRICS side.

There is also a lot of unreported or under-reported activity going on in Africa. While the Zionist media has been pumping up a publicity campaign around supposed kidnapped schoolgirls in Nigeria, they have been censoring news of real massacres related to the illuminati plan to promote fights between Muslims and Christians in order to create a one world religion.

This gruesome photograph below was censored by U-tube, face book and Zionist media organizations. I post it because ignoring evil is the same as accepting it.


“This is a brutal example of how far the struggle between Muslims and Catholics in Nigeria has reached…and where are the International Human Rights Organizations? Christians are burnt alive in Nigeria: a horrific Holocaust right in front of International indifference!” said Father Juan Carlos Martos, on behalf of the Missionari Clarettiani, via del Sacro Cuore di Maria, Rome, Italy.

The question the world should be asking is what is the US military doing in Africa if they cannot stop such massacres? Are they instead somehow involved? Where are the pentagon white hats? Why is everybody silent?

These are the sort of Satanic incidents the White Dragon Society is determined to banish from this earth.

In Asia, meanwhile, the pentagon is trying to woo North Korea into joining with South Korea and Japan and pay protection money “to keep China in its place,” a Japanese military intelligence source said.
The planned visit by puppet Prime Minister Abe of Japan to North Korea will result in 34 “kidnap victims” (in reality mostly Japanese agents working for North Korea) to be returned in exchange for generous Japanese financial aid, according to a North Korean source. This is a preliminary to a campaign to turn North Korea into a friend instead of a boogey man for the Japanese, the sources agreed.

Another sign that some big event is expected in the Korean peninsula is the fact that North and South Korea are building a joint railroad network with Russia. This is a clear indication that all three countries expect the Korean peninsula to unify in the foreseeable future.

Construction of a tunnel linking South Korea to Japan has also already begun, according to Japanese government sources. This will mean it will be possible to take a train from Tokyo to London. In addition, goods can be shipped from Europe to Korea and Japan three times faster once the rail link is constructed, according to Russia Today.
rt.com/business/164116-russia-railway-north-korea/

The recent and ongoing dispute between Vietnam and China over an oil rig in disputed waters is being used by pentagon to ensure Asian countries keep it financed even if the US corporate government goes bankrupt, according to a pentagon source. It is better to feed than fight a big dog.


On the Wrong Side of Globalization – Prescription for Betterment of Global Economy – Professor Joseph Stiglitz has criticizes the TPP


On the Wrong Side of Globalization – Prescription for Betterment of Global Economy

 Professor Joseph Stiglitz has criticizes the TPP.  As read in the article, it appears that “the TPP talks have stalled.”  Reading what Professor Stiglitz writes, however, it seems that he has not found an answer to the question of how to change the world economy for the better.

Using a simple example, I can illustrate the current economy as follows.  The fruit of the people’s hard work is stolen by a very small number of big business managers, politicians and bureaucrats who collude with one another.  How do they do?  It’s very simple: such managers show favoritism to politicians and bureaucrats by bribery, have them change the law to the advantage of big companies and steal wealth from the people in the form of tax.  One such example is consumption tax increase and refund tax applied to exporting companies.

They get richer with the wealth they have taken away from the people without making any management effort and furthermore dabble in gable (stock speculation) to build up wealth.  Only a handful of the wealthy who keep on succeeding in gambling build enormous wealth in this manner.  Since they are acquitted with the government insiders and trust their property to brilliant investors like George Soros, they have very few risks of losing a bet.  Even if losing it, they are bailed out by the government and they are practically free from any defeat.  Like this, they siphon wealth from the people.

It is hardly possible that such economy will last forever.  All we have to do to create a booming economy is just to confiscate the income they illegally gained and give it back to the people.  How can we do to prevent them from gaining such unfair income?  The first thing we have to do is to fix the maximum wage.

Could anyone on good terms with Professor Stiglitz tell him about the above-mentioned very simple prescription?

On the Wrong Side of Globalization by Joseph Stiglitz

12 Trans-Pacific Partnership Member Countries  [Photo] The New York Times
Source:
Trade agreements are a subject that can cause the eyes to glaze over, but we should all be paying attention. −−—−−　　

−−−−−−　　Most immediately at issue is the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, which would bring together 12 countries along the Pacific Rim in what would be the largest free trade area in the world.
Negotiations for the TPP began in 2010, for the purpose, −−−−−　　, of increasing trade and investment, through lowering tariffs and other trade barriers among participating countries. −−−−−　　
Controversy has erupted, and justifiably so. Based on the leaks — and the history of arrangements in past trade pacts — it is easy to infer the shape of the whole TPP, and it doesn’t look good. There is a real risk that it will benefit the wealthiest sliver of the American and global elite at the expense of everyone else. −−−−−　　.

Let’s tackle the history first. In general, trade deals today are markedly different from those made in the decades following World War II, when negotiations focused on lowering tariffs. −−−−−　　.

Today, the purpose of trade agreements is different. Tariffs around the world are already low. The focus has shifted to “nontariff barriers,” −−−−−　　. Huge multinational corporations complain that inconsistent regulations make business costly. But most of the regulations, even if they are imperfect, are there for a reason: to protect workers, consumers, the economy and the environment.
What’s more, those regulations were often put in place by governments responding to the democratic demands of their citizens. −−−−−　　But when corporations call for harmonization, what they really mean is a race to the bottom.

−−−−−　　. Corporations everywhere may well agree that getting rid of regulations would be good for corporate profits. Trade negotiators might be persuaded that these trade agreements would be good for trade and corporate profits. But there would be some big losers — namely, the rest of us.
−−−−−　. All over the world, trade ministries are captured by corporate and financial interests. And when negotiations are secret, there is no way that the democratic process can exert the checks and balances required to put limits on the negative effects of these agreements.

−−−−−　　. One of the worst is that it allows corporations to seek restitution in an international tribunal, not only for unjust expropriation, but also ｆｏｒ ａｌｌｅｇｅｄ ｄｉｍｉｎｕｔｉｏｎ ｏｆ ｔｈｅｉｒ ｐｏｔｅｎｔｉａｌ ｐｒｏｆｉｔｓ as a result of regulation. −−−−−　　Philip Morris has already tried this tactic against Uruguay,−−−−−　　. In this sense, recent trade agreements are reminiscent of the Opium Wars,−−−−−　.
−−−−−　　. Developing countries pay a high price for signing on to these provisions, but the evidence that they get more investment in return is scant and controversial. And though these countries are the most obvious victims, the same issue could become a problem for the United States, as well. American corporations could conceivably create a subsidiary in some Pacific Rim country, invest in the United States through that subsidiary, and then take action against the United States government — getting rights as a “foreign” company that they would not have had as an American company. Again, this is not just a theoretical possibility: There is already some evidence that compnanies are choosing hot to funnel their money into different countries on the basis of where their legal position in relation to the government is strongest.

There are other noxious provisions. America has been fighting to lower the cost of health care. But the TPP would make the introduction of generic drugs more difficult, and thus raise the price of medicines. In the poorest countries, this is not just about moving money into corporate coffers: thousands would die unnecessarily. -----. Trade agreements provide even more opportunities for patent abuse.

The worries mount. One way of reading the leaked negotiation documents suggests that the TPP would make it easier for American banks to sell risky derivatives around the world, perhaps setting us up for the same kind of crisis that led to the Great Recession.
In spite of all this, there are those who passionately support the TPP and agreements like it, including many economists. What makes this support possible is bogus, debunked economic theory, which has remained in circulation mostly because it serves the interests of the wealthiest.
--------------------   .

American politics today compounds these problems. Even in the best of circumstances, the old free trade theory said only that the winners could compensate the losers, not that they would. And they haven’t — quite the opposite.-----  .

Critics of the TPP are so numerous because both the process and the theory that undergird it are bankrupt. Opposition has blossomed not just in the United States, but also in Asia, where the talks have stalled.

-----  .Those who see trade agreements as enriching corporations at the expense of the 99 percent seem to have won this skirmish. But there is a broader war to ensure that trade policy — and globalization more generally — is designed so as to increase the standards of living of most Americans. The outcome of that war remains uncertain.

In this series, I have repeatedly made two points: The first is that the high level of inequality in the United States today, and its enormous increase during the past 30 years, is the cumulative result of an array of policies, programs and laws. -----. Agreements like the TPP have contributed in important ways to this inequality. Corporations may profit, and it is even possible, though far from assured, that gross domestic product as conventionally measured will increase. But the well-being of ordinary citizens is likely to take a hit.

And this brings me to the second point that I have repeatedly emphasized: Trickle-down economics is a myth. Enriching corporations — as the TPP would — will not necessarily help those in the middle, let alone those at the bottom.


Modern Slavery Society Created by Bankers and How to Bring Prosperity to Earth

Modern Slavery Society Created by Bankers and How to Bring Prosperity to Earth


It is said that the comsuption tax will be raised to 30 percent.  It appears that the government desperately wants to postpone the U.S. economic meltdown by extorting as much money as possible from us, but I suppose they will not be able to make it.  As they say that social welfare spending should be shlashed, our life is likely to be getting harsher.  Well, I want the government to aggressively conduct malgovernment.  This is because as is to be expected, nobody will vote for the LDP in the next election.

The second article describes the future Japan that I predicted nearly two decades ago.  People with annual income of more than 10 million yen are actually in a huge debt to pay back housing loan.  If they can sell their houses at the same price as when they purchased them, they would be lucky.  However, in most cases, they will have difficulty sellin houses due to a significant drop in assset value and have a huge debt left.  In a situation like this, if consumption tax is raised and regular workers are also forced to work unpaid overtime, I am afraid that they will be practically fired upon rejecting it and many workers will die from overwork. 

Even those who remain full-time workers as winners will get paid less if overtime money is not paid.  Assuming that overtime money is paid as is, they wil have to work twice as hard as now.  In a word, from the viewpoint of the management, wokers would get paid less or workers have to work twice as hard as now if they want to get the same leve of payment.  It means that unless working hard, workers should not be highly paid.  The management shares the view that any replacement is avaialbe in developing countries.  As long as workers are bound on with a sort of chain called housing loan, it is hardly likely there will be way to have workers liberated from slavery in modern society, which is created by bankers.

Abour two decades ago, I said to my wife that this would happen.  We concentrated solely to childrearing in the harsh economic conditions, that is, with monthly income of less than 100,000 yen.  I often said to my wife: “We will not be able to experience such poverty again in the future.  Since it is very difficult to die of hunger in Japan, there is nothing to worry about even if we have no money.  If we put up with this situation for a while, we will manage to get out of it.  Since we give priority to childrearing, we will get through such poverty our own way, while around the same time very many Japanese will be forced to put themselves in such situation by social influence they never think of.  Since we have such an experience in advance, we will be able to send out a message of how to get through it.”

My prediction has almost come true now.  Since the current situtaion is much worse than the situation we were in, there is a possibility of death from hunger in Japan.  I have been sending various kinds of messages in this blog.  Given possible drastic changes on Earth, as I advise you, it is safer to live in the countryside.

With regard to the potential of rural areas, Satoyama capitalism is of some help.  However, if you go to the countryside to find a new opportunity simply because of escape from hard urban life, you will probaly fail.  People who can't make a living in agriculture are concentrated in urban cities.  There is   a successful example in my neighborhood: a dairy farmer sells out directly to consumers many kinds of  milk products.  If you do business with urbane taste, you will be able to live an affuluent life.
However, keep in mind that you cannot be free from human relationsip-related problems in the countryside as in a city: you cannot always feel comfortable or happy even if your business gets on track.

I suppose more and more people will have doubts about the nature of capitalism in which most of wealth gained through hardwork of the public is taken away by shareholders, namely, about how stock companies are managed.  And then they will recognize for the first time that companies in the form of unions protect the interest of the public.  However, they should understand that to have such companies become reality, however, they need a bank or a Shinkin bank that lends money to such companies.  In other words, banks of sound judgment like Shonan Shinkin Bank are indispensable.  In this sense, we have no other choice but to drastically change baking system in order to bring prosperity to Earth.

Need to raise consumption tax to 30%   Trial calculation to“reduce national debt”

On 28, the Fiscal System Council, advisory panel to the Finance Ministry, has compiled a trial calculation of necessary increase in revunues and necessary decrease in expenditures to reduce the national debt.  They say that approximately 57 trillion yen of revenues, which accounts for 8.9 percent of the GDP, is required in the fiscal year 2021.  According to their trail calculation, if this amount of money is achieved through increasing revenues by comsumption tax increase alone, consumption tax has to be raised to nearly 30 percent.

The Counsil estimated the degree of how much balance between financial incomes and expenditures should be improved to reduce the outstanding debt, approximately 2.3 times as much as the GDP, to two times in the fiscal year 2060.  They say that even based on an optimistic viewpoint of nominal economic groth rate of 3 percent per year to continue, appropriate 57 trillion yen has to be improved in the fiscal year 2021.

In the Council meeting on 28, some members expressed an opinion that“The social welfare spending should be severely slashed.”

“Poverty Tribe”in Japan and “Rat Tribe”in China

The poor in China are called“Rat Tribe.”  The reality of the people who pay around 10,000 yen a month of rent and live in the basement is often being reported.  How about in Japan?

The other day I went to a sauna facility in Shinjuku, where I was stunned by a sight.  The facility also runs a *capsule hotel.  The hotel limited the number of loegers because there were too many guests to be handled.

(Translator's note) *A capsule hotel is a type of hotel developed in Japan that features a large number of extremely small “rooms”(capsules) intended to provide cheap, basic overnight accomodation for guests who do not require the service offered by more conventional hotels.  (Wikipedia)


It is also said that the number of people who stay in Internet cafes is increasing.  The number of Japanese“living”in capsule hotels, saunas, Internet cafes and apartments must be beyond imagination.

The reality of welfare-payment recipients is known because they had adresses and statistic on them are avaialbe.  The number is over 2.5 million and is about to be close to 3 million.
Nobody knows the entire number of those who cannot be included in the families receiving public assistance due to having no fixed adress. 

Assuming those with less than annual income of 2 million yen are the poor, it can be said that statisticaly 20 million people belong to the poor.
Less than 30 percenet of the total number of workers reportedly gain annual income of less than 2 million yen.  Assuming the total number of workers is 65 million, 30 percent of it amounts to be 20 million workers.

If more than 20 million workers with income barely make a living, 2.5 million workers receive welfare and between hundreds of thousands and millions of workers are the poor shown in statistics, it can safely be said that Japan is a society where more than 20 percent of the population cannot make a decent living.

This is because Japan has become a society where the country is burdened with the downright poor and cannot fiture out the correct number of them due to not establishing a safety net for them and as a result, cannot save them.

There were Japanese without fixed adress who lived from mouth to hand in the past, too.  However, the number of such people now is estimated to swell to a level of exceeding the population of government-ordinance-designated cities and the number is daily increasing.  And yet we simultaneously see such trend among older peple and younger people.

If parents are the poor, their children naturally beomce poor in most cases.  Furthermore, since children cannot depend on their parents after coming of age, they will become the poor and needy as soon as they lose a job or address.




Japan is in the midst of the Goden Week holidays.  Winners are enjoying holidays, while the poor who are paid on a daily basis lose a source of income and find it difficult to make a living as soon as the society suspends its activities.

Full-timers are paid salaries while taking off from work, while non-regular workers such as temporary workers and part-timers lose their income.
For example, if they take four days off, 32,000 yen (daily income of 8,000 x four days) evaporates.  This is equivalent to the rent of a cheap apartment house.

Humans cannot avoid eating even if they have no jobs.

The number of the poor in China is increasing at a furious pace, too.  However, the poor in Japan are occupied by the aged and the young.  It can be said that this is a more serious problem in Japan than in China.

Let's take Sonny for example.  The annual income of Sonny employees is said to be around 10 million yen.  Given the current situation of staying in the red, it is no wonder if 100,000 of over 140,000 employees are fired.  The weekly mazagine Diamond runs a feature story that salaried workers with annual income of around 10 million yen are still suffering from miserable living conditions.  As soon as they lose jobs, many of them must go into bankruptcy.   

The group of people who gain annual income of 10 million yen without savings account for over 20 percent of all workers .  If they buy an exclusive condominium with income as well as with a loan, buy a luxurious car with a loan, spend a lot of money going on a trip abroad and at home and give excessive education to a child, if any, they are always short of money.

We will see such sacking cases not only in Sonny but also in other corporations in Japan, because they cannot compete against overseas corporations and because the money workers were paid are not commensurate with their ability.

Although Japanese workers take 10 million yen for granted, corporations would fire workers with annual income of 10 million yen and employ workers abroad who are paid between 3 and 5 millioin yen if they can be replaced with Japanese workers.

The“Rat Tribe”in China still have a fixed address.  The“Sauna/Capsule Hotel/Internet Cafe Tribe”don't have even that.

2014 Is Turning Out To Be Eerily Similar To 2007

 It was the worst economic crisis since the days of the Great Depression -

 Many bankers have been killed.  They should be those who tried to uncover apparent rigging in the stock market and in particular, manipulation of gold price.  Such cover-ups will not last forever.  General investors are ignorant just like the public who are deceived by the mass media.  They do nothing but invest money on the faith of stock price valuation by their favorite critics and economic newspapers.  The moment they know the truth, what will happen?   It would be a frightening thought.  I have told you for a long time that the next economic collapse would be so serious that could cause the downfall of nations.  Such thing is a common-sense view.  Strangely enough, however, “nobody is talking about this in despite of such imminent crisis.”

2014 Is Turning Out To Be Eerily Similar To 2007

(Source)
The similarities between 2007 and 2014 continue to pile up. As you are about to see, U.S. home sales fell dramatically throughout 2007 even as the mainstream media, our politicians and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke promised us that everything was going to be just fine and that we definitely were not going to experience a recession. Of course we remember precisely what followed. It was the worst economic crisis since the days of the Great Depression.
And you know what they say – if we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. Just like seven years ago, the stock market has soared to all-time high after all-time high. Just like seven years ago, the authorities are telling us that there is nothing to worry about. 
Unfortunately, just like seven years ago, a housing bubble is imploding and another great economic crisis is rapidly approaching.
Posted below is a chart of existing home sales in the United States during 2007. As you can see, existing home sales declined precipitously throughout the year…



Now look at this chart which shows what has happened to existing home sales in the United States in recent months. If you compare the two charts, you will see that the numbers are eerily similar…


New home sales are also following a similar pattern. In fact, we just learned that new home sales have collapsed to an 8 month low…
Sales of new single-family homes dropped sharply last month as severe winter weather and higher mortgage rates continued to slow the housing recovery.
------------   .
Once again, this is so similar to what we witnessed back in 2007. The following is a chart that shows how new home sales declined dramatically throughout that year…






And this chart shows what has happened to new homes sales during the past several months. Sadly, we have never even gotten close to returning to the level that we were at back in 2007. But even the modest “recovery” that we have experienced is now quickly unraveling…


If history does repeat, then what we are witnessing right now is a very troubling sign for the months to come. As you can see from this chart, new home sales usually start going down before a recession begins.
And don’t expect these housing numbers to rebound any time soon. The demand for mortgages has dropped through the floor. ----------     …
One of the key indicators I follow in respect to the state of the housing market is mortgage originations. This data gives me an idea about demand for homes, as rising demand for mortgages means more people are buying homes. And as demand increases, prices should be increasing.
But the opposite is happening…
In the first quarter of 2014, mortgage originations at Citigroup Inc. (NYSE/C) declined 71% from the same period a year ago. ----------  
Total mortgage origination volume at JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE/JPM) declined by 68% in the first quarter of 2014 from the same period a year ago.----------  

It is almost as if we are watching a replay of 2007 all over again, and yet nobody is talking about this.
Everyone wants to believe that this time will be different.
The human capacity for self-delusion is absolutely amazing.
There are a lot of other similarities between 2007 and today as well.
Just the other day, I noted that retail stores are closing in the United States at the fastest pace that we have seen since the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
Back in 2007, we saw margin debt on Wall Street spike dramatically and help fuel a remarkable run in the stock market. Just check out the chart in this article. But that spike in margin debt also made the eventual stock market collapse much worse than it had to be.
And just like 2007, consumer credit is totally out of control. As I noted in one recent article, during the fourth quarter of 2013 we witnessed the biggest increase in consumer debt in the U.S. that we have seen since 2007. Total consumer credit in the U.S. has risen by 22 percent over the past three years, and 56 percent of all Americans have “subprime credit” at this point.
Are you starting to get the picture? It is only 7 years later, and the same things that happened just prior to the last great financial crisis are happening again. Only this time we are in much worse shape to handle an economic meltdown. -----------  
None of the problems that caused the last financial crisis have been fixed. In fact, they have all gotten worse. The total amount of debt in the world has grown by more than 40 percent since 2007, the too big to fail banks have gotten 37 percent larger, and the colossal derivatives bubble has spiraled so far out of control that the only thing left to do is to watch the spectacular crash landing that is inevitably coming.


Financial collapse seems to be sure to come. This coming collapse is considered to be far beyond the collapse of Lehman Brothers. I think we are required to brace ourselves for it. – High incident of suicides in London financial district –

– 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.

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.”

Look straight at Korea’s economy with prosperous big corporations and common people at the brink of freezing death

Korea’s economy, which has been under the control of IMF, globalism personified, seems to be driven into a miserable situation, where exporting big companies taken over by international financial mafia are prospering and common people are going to die in indignation.

In Japan true situation of common people in Korea has never been reported.   If the Abe administration should place a person with philosophy like Mr. Heizo Takenaka in the center of policy making or appoint him as the Governor of Bank of Japan, our country would be thrown headlong into the rough sea of global economy and the country would get bankrupt in a short time.

Probably only part of truth of U.S.-Korea FTA is available to Japan.  Japan has a pressing big problem of TPP.  I really feel it important to protect the country from a trend leading to national ruin by learning a lesson from Korea.

(I will post astonishing part of the reality which a son of Mr. Hiroya Oki heard and saw below.)

Sorry to tell you my personal matter, but my son, who was a struggling actor and model and in a dead end situation, went to Seoul with an aim to be a male version of Ms. Yuko Fueki, a popular Japanese actor in Korea.  While being enrolled at the same university where she studied, he had spent four and a half years from the year-end of 2007 living in Korea and getting involved in “Korean dramas.”  I had chatted via Skype with my son about life in general, mainly life in Seoul twice a year.  At first, I was not able to believe what he had talked.

“Workers of Seoul City Office are very busy removing the bodies of homeless people who are frozen to death every morning in winter.  Subway stations in Seoul are flooded with beggars and homeless people.”

In Korea with no national health program or social welfare system, sickness or unemployment means descent into beggars or death.  In wintertime the coldest temperature drops to minus 20 degrees Celsius.

“In Seoul, you cannot live in a decent house even at the cost of 100,000 yen.  Unless you can post the deposit of nearly 10 million yen, you have to live in a prefabricated house built in the basement or on the rooftop.  A part-time worker, who has to wait his turn for a job, is paid about 250 yen per hour.”

Probably, at the time of IMF ado real estate in Korea was bought up by foreign capitalists and some rich people with special privileges.

“My acquaintance who has been working for KBS cannot buy a house.  KBS is a Korean version of NHK.  It is operated by foreign money, so Korean employees have to work at terribly low pay.”

This is also the result of the buyout of corporate stocks at the trough by foreign money at the time of IMF ado.  This has already been reality in Japan, too, from 2003.

“In our university, only one of ten students can get a job after graduation.  So, young people have no other choice but to go out of the country.  Four Koreans I have made friends with here have all immigrated to Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore and Japan.
Girls have no job but prostitutes.”

If the number of non-regular employees tops 50 percent, young people will start leaving the country and perhaps national meltdown will start.  This situation reminds me of the course of events seen in Latin American countries in the latter half of 1900s, where national wealth had completely been robbed of.


“Collapse of a nation is terrible.  In the recent incident of North Korean artillery attack on Yeonpyeongdo  island, Korean troops fired back in vain.  It is said here in Korea that soldiers with weakened morale had cold feet.”

We have to remember that with the destruction or collapse of a nation, troops are sure to become a ragtag team of defeated soldiers even if their mental strength is boasted of.  It is impossible to wage desperate war.  Every history of warfare teaches us that people who loudly cried for war were the first to run away weak-kneed.

“In Korea, a complete colonial country, the old have no other choice but to die without eating.  In Korea there is a Korean dried laver roll store called “Kinpap Heaven,” a counterpart of beef bowl restaurant in Japan.  The old sharing one dried laver roll among the three there is a common scene.

Approximately 100 yen roll is shared among the three!  They seem to fill their stomach with kimchi, Korean pickle, which they can eat as they like, and with soup.  It is called ‘A dried laver roll’ equivalent to ‘A bowl of Japanese noodles’ among Japanese.”
How miserable situation!  However, it is likely that our country will also be in such a situation in ten or twenty years though we think that it is impossible.  We have to watch out.  Idleness is the devil’s workshop.

As for information in Korea, it is most terrifying that such miserable state of the country has never been reported in Japan.  I guess that probably correct information has been completely blocked and tactfully replaced with false information.

A prime example is the coverage that Korean business people arrogantly said that Korean technology has surpassed that of Japan.

Korea, which has been voraciously eaten up by vultures, has already been half-dead a little earlier.  Vultures will never let their next target Japan see its near-future self.
