[ROCKWAY EXPRESS]　China: 28,000 of 50,000 Rivers Have Disappeared

This is the reason Chinese investors have been all out to secure water resources in Japan. Even after reading this news, do you really believe that global economy will keep on growing uneventfully as ever? I have always advised you to stockpile food and others. Do you still think it is groundless fear?

China: 28,000 of 50,000 Rivers Have Disappeared

The dry riverbed of the Gan river, a tributary of the Yangtze.

I hear that more than half of Chinese rivers have disappeared. Additionally, lakes have disappeared, too. In a word, water, the element indispensable for life activity id disappearing. Large rivers are no exception.　　The Yellow River has already dried up.　　Exacerbation of desertification has been in progress in China. And yet, existing rivers have been polluted and many of them are actually inappropriate to drink.

In general, China is becoming difficult to secure food and drink. Japanese policymakers ought to take it seriously.

On earth we will see chaotic days for a certain period of time, during which the confusion and destruction of global economy accompanied by natural disasters is expected to make the world in a state of panic. If so, we ought to work out a plan to survive, taking into consideration the possibility that the international order, which has been stable so far, will be collapsed, the earth will be in turmoil the same as in the street, and the world will depict a picture of the hell where the weak is the victims of the strong.

l 28,000 rivers wiped off the map of China

[The Times March 30, 2013]

(Excerpt from the original text)

More than half of the rivers previously thought to exist in China appear to be missing, according to the 800,000 surveyors who compiled the first national water census, leaving Beijing fumbling to explain the cause.
Only 22,909 rivers covering an area of 100sq km were located by surveyors, compared with the more than 50,000 in the 1990s, a three-year study by the Ministry of Water Resources and the National Bureau of Statistics found.
Officials blame the apparent loss on climate change, arguing that it has caused waterways to vanish, and on mistakes by earlier cartographers. But environmental experts say the disappearance of the rivers is a real and direct manifestation of headlong, ill-conceived development, where projects are often imposed without public consultation.
The UN considers China one of the 13 countries most affected by water scarcity, as industrial toxins have poisoned historic water sources and were blamed last year for turning the Yangtze an alarming shade of red.
This month, the carcasses of about 16,000 pigs dumped in the river were pulled from its waters, and 1000 dead ducks were found dumped this week in the Nanhe River in Sichuan province.
Ma Jun, a water expert at the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, said the missing rivers were a cause for "great attention" and underscored the urgent need for a more sustainable mode of development.
"One of the major reasons is the over-exploitation of the underground water reserves, while environmental destruction is another reason, because desertification of forests has caused a rain shortage in the mountain areas," Mr Ma said.
Large hydroelectric projects such as the Three Gorges Dam, which diverted trillions of litres of water to drier regions, were likely to have played a role, he said.
The census also charted a decline in water quality. The report came as new Premier Li Keqiang pledged greater transparency on pollution, which Communist Party rulers fear is a potential catalyst for social unrest.
"We must take the steps in advance, rather than hurry to handle these issues when they have caused a disturbance in society," Mr Li said, according to state media.

Will Water in Tokyo Metropolitan Area Disappear?

Water Resources Bought Up by Foreign Capital One After Another

As the forests in the country have been bought up by foreign capital, water of the Tokyo Metropolitan area is in danger. Although Prime Minister Abe spoke about the protection of water resources in the Diet, he has not taken any measures yet.

According to the Forest Agency, at least 760 hectares of forest have been bought up by foreign companies (at the end of fiscal year 2011).

However, “this is just the tip of the iceberg,” which is a warning of Mr Junji Hashimoto, the author of “Groundwater in Japan in Danger,” who is familiar with the water problem.

“There are some cases in which forests are actually controlled by Chinese companies under the names of Japanese. It is safe to say that at a moderate estimate 1,000 hectares of forest have been bought up by them. Forestland is cheap, 500,000 JPY per hectare. And sale and purchase of forestland is allowed even to a foreigner without any regulations. The forestland in the Metropolitan area has been eroded. It is known that the two cases in Hakone have been bought up by an individual and a corporation (both of Chinese nationals), one case in Chichibu, upper reach of the Arakawa river, Saitama, and three cases in Gunma, upper reach of the Tone river have been bought up by foreign capital.

It was not until 2011 that these problems were brought to light. A Singaporean bought 44 hectares of land with water right in Tsumagoi village, Gunma Prefecture. As the purchase of the land was registered to the local town, the residents, who were worried about water shortage, responded strongly against it.

People living in the Metropolitan area cannot feel secure because the upper reaches of the Arakawa and the Tone rivers have actually been bought up. There is no guarantee that water will never be bought up and reservoirs will never dry up.

“Some local governments in Kanto have been taking measures to protect reservoirs by establishing regulations. The revised Forest Ac was established in April 2012. The Act stipulates that any transaction in land, regardless of area, should be notified to the governor within 90 days. This will help grasp the situation, but the report after notification cannot work as a brake against buyout of forestland. However, if a landowner insists on property right, there is nothing to object to it.” (Comment by Mr. Hashimoto)

We have no other choice but to promptly take measures.

[Raba Q] What? Pictures of North Korea Completely Discloses Secret – “Kim Jong-un, thank you for showing your plan to us all”

Seeing from a different point of view, this is a humorous picture.

They purposely leak these pictures to have us see them.

And yet, they purposely let us know the most confidential information on plan to attack the U.S. mainland.

If North Korea seriously intends to wage war against America, they are an absolute idiot.

English translation of an excerpt from a Japanese article: Raba Q – March 31, 2013 –

Pictures of North Korea Completely Discloses Secret - Kim Jong-un, thank you for showing your plan to us all”

North Korea-related news turns up the heat.

As yesterday First Secretary Kim Jong-un gave an instruction “to hold attacking” US bases and released photographs of a strategy meeting, neighboring countries has come under strain.

However, the pictures, which were posted humorously on overseas bulletin boards: “Thank you for showing your strategy to us all,” were gaining great popularity among viewers.

What secrets did released pictures show? Just look at them.

It is a strategy meeting with a tense atmosphere.

The problem is the part surrounded by a red circle.

“US MAINLAND STRIKE PLAN” described majestically in Korean

I see. They are planning to attack in this way.

The PC he uses seems to be an Apple-made product.

Although the mover of North Korea is hardly predictable, the pictures were gaining great popularity among internet users, who say “Anyway, thank you for releasing your plan.”

Oh, don’t release it. All people will start moving here.
I felt scared as a resident of Nebraska.
It is safe in Detroit, too. Well, it is really a good experience to live in a town which looks like an already blown-up one.
As Detroit is originally a ruined city, nothing will change.
Why is Kim Jon-un such a clown?
Every day I spend time arranging shameful time for him.
According to an article, pictures were intended to be used internally. But the 21st century is the Internet society, and ……
“Internally means ‘within the country,” not “within the government.’”
If these kinds of pictures are leaked for the sake of morale, the people seriously take that attacks on the American mainland will take place. As people in other countries can’t contact them, North Koreans never mind whatever we say. The North Korean government knows that we don’t believe them.
However, why are they going to attack Mexico with nuclear weapons, too?
To damage labor power in America.
What a relief! No plan to attack New York.
Because nuclear missiles can’t reach there.
He has to be the ”worst of worst” but a part of me wants to give him a nudge, spank his bottom and say “Tiger, you can go.”

In spite of a strained problem, every comment lacked tension.

[Mr. Naoto Amaki] Can Prime Minister Abe forcibly hold a ceremony to celebrate the “anniversary of sovereignty restoration,” which will torment the Emperor?

As for the war responsibility of Emperor Showa, my personal opinion is that he cannot exempt from it. I believe that the Emperor keenly had felt himself responsible for the war and thought we should never wage war.

I also think that it was Hideki Tojo that died after taking the rap for whole responsibility to protect the Emperor and that he might have been a real hero. I am not a right-winger or a left-winger, either.

I have no interest in any ideology. I just think so. If not, it is incomprehensible that the soul of Hideki Tojo exists in the empyreal of the Sirius System 1^st level. We have to review what situation led to the war.

English translation of an excerpt from a Japanese article: BLOG OF AMAKI NAOTO – March 30, 2013 –

Can Prime Minister Abe forcibly hold a ceremony to celebrate the “anniversary of sovereignty restoration”, which will torment the Emperor?

Subsequently, no coverage on a ceremony to celebrate the “anniversary of sovereignty restoration” has been given. I wonder if such ceremony can be held.

I repeatedly said so.

In a serial article (12) entitled “Background Story of Nagata-cho To Read” carried in the Nikkan Gendai, a tabloid evening paper, on March 30, Mr. Takeshi Takano, a journalist, wrote completely the same as what I had spoken of, which suggests that he had already known my idea.

In a word, he has written that April 28 is not only a “day of humiliation” in Okinawa but also a day of humiliation for the entire Japanese who submitted to the control of the U.S.

That’s right.

However, his article has made me recognize something more important.

He says. With a strong opposition in Okinawa, if this goes on, Okinawa will miss a ceremony to celebrate the “anniversary of sovereignty restoration.” But the ceremony is a major event where the Emperor and Empress will attend at. If Okinawa fails to attend at the ceremony, Rightists will start making noises by saying “How dare you refuse to participate in the independence ceremony where the Emperor and Empress will attend at.” If so, Okinawa would say, “If you say to that extent, Okinawa is going to seriously choose a way of independence.”

Mr. Takano’s writing has an incredibly serious meaning.

In a word, it is a well-known fact that Okinawa was cut off from Japan and was placed under U.S. occupation by Emperor Showa. And it is the present Emperor and Empress that have felt most deeply distressed about Okinawa. It is hardly possible that they will gladly attend at such ceremony that Okinawa boycotts.

Yes, wise readers will understand that if Prime Minister Abe forcibly holds a ceremony to celebrate the “sovereignty day,” it will torment the Emperor and Empress and make them sad. It would be a lie if rightists do not rebel against it. Nevertheless, does Prime Minister Abe intend to forcibly hold the ceremony to commemorate the “anniversary of sovereignty restoration”?

[MBS] FEMA(Federal Emergency Management Agency) Recommends to Get a Survival Kit Just in Case

Note by Editor

This video reminds me of the message shown below.

Daishoushin-makotonarukami-sama

“Although I had repeatedly given warnings and appealed to deities (at the time of the revolution in the celestial world), almost none took action until a storm approached directly underneath their feet. And the moment when they found their feet floating in the air, they realized that the real storm, storm of revolution had come. They regretted having done anything. But it is too late. The same thing is occurring on the earth, too. A revolution is in progress on the earth. You cannot continue living in the same way as yesterday any longer. Only people who have made a decision to turn over a new leaf will be allowed to survive. If nobody can stop operation of nuclear power plants, you have no choice but to tread the path to self-destruction."

[Foreign News Never Covered by Mass Media] Hugo Chavez

If you read this article, you will understand that not only in our neighboring countries Korea and North Korea but in the U.S. great wars have begun quietly. It is almost 100percent a sure thing that Obama will go to ruin. However, Obama and elites who support him are continuing vicious acts, believing that they will win. Anyway, there is no possibility from the start that those who are reprobated by deities will win.

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

(Excerpts from the above text)

Paul Craig Roberts

On March 5, 2013, Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela and world leader against imperialism dies. ------------------------------

Chavez was not an enemy of America. He was an enemy of Washington’s hegemony over other countries, an enemy of Washington’s alliance with elite ruling cliques who steal from the people they grind down and deny sustenance. He was an enemy of Washington’s injustice, of Washington’s foreign policy based on lies and military aggression, bombs and invasions.

Washington is not America. Washington is Satan’s home town.

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

Chavez was a world leader. Unlike US politicians, Chavez was respected throughout the non-western world. He was awarded honorary doctorates from China, Russia, Brazil, and other countries, but not from Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, and Oxford.

Chavez was a miracle. He was a miracle, because he did not sell out to the United States and the Venezuelan elites. Had he sold out, Chavez would have become very rich from oil revenues, like the Saudi Royal Family, and he would have been honored by the United States in the way that Washington honors all its puppets: with visits to the White House. He could have become a dictator for life as long as he served Washington.

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

But Chavez was a real person, like Rafael Correa, the three-term elected president of Ecuador, who stood up to the United States and granted political asylum to the persecuted Julian Assange, and Evo Morales, the first indigenous president of Bolivia since the Spanish conquest. The majority of Venezuelans understood that Chavez was a real person. They elected him to four times as president and would have continued electing him as long as he lived. What Washington hates most is a real person who cannot be bought.

The more the corrupt western politicians an media whores demonized Chavez, the more Venezuelans loved him. They understood completely that anyone damned by Washington was God’s gift to the world.

It is costly to stand up to Washington. All who are bold enough to do so are demonized. They risk assassination and being overthrown in a CIA-organized coup, as Chavez was in 2002. When CIA-instructed Venezuelan elites sprung their coup and kidnapped Chavez, the coup was overthrown by the Venezuelan people who took to the streets and by elements of the military before Chavez could be murdered by the CIA-controlled Venezuelan elites, who escaped with their own venal lives only because, unlike them, Chavez was humanitarian. ------------------------------ .

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

The lies and demonization continue with Chavez’s death. --------------------------------------------------- .

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

Perhaps the most absurd of all was Associated Press business reporter Pamela Sampson’s judgment that Chavez wasted Venezuela’s oil wealth on “social programs including state-run food markets, cash benefits for poor families, free health clinics and education programs,” a poor use of money that could have been used to build sky scrapers such as “the world’s tallest building in Dubai and branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim museums in Abu Dhabi.”

www/fair.org/blog/2013/03/06ap-chavez-wasted-his-money-on-healthcare-when-he-could-have-built-gigantic-skyscrapers/

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chavez’s September 20, 2006 speech at the UN General Assembly during the George W. Bush regime will stand forever as the greatest speech of the early 21^st century.

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

“Yesterday, the devil himself stood right here, at this podium, speaking as if he owned the world. You can still smell the sulfur.”

“We should call a psychiatrist to analyze yesterday’s statement made by the president of the United States. As the spokesman of imperialism, he came to share his nostrums, to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world. An Alfred Hitchcok movie could use it as a scenario. I would even propose a title: ‘the Devil’s Recipe.’”

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

--------------- .Chavez asked, “What type of democracy do you impose with Marines and bombs?”

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

-------- , Chavez defined for all times early 21^st century Washington: “The imperium is afraid of truth, is afraid of independent voices. It calls us extremists, but they are the extremists.”

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

The belief has already hardened in South America that Washington with its hideous technologies of death infected Chavez with cancer in order to remove him as an obstacle to Washington’s hegemony over South America.

This belief will never die: Chavez, the greatest South American since Simon Bolivar, was murdered by Washington. True or false, the belief is set in stone. As Washington and globalism destroy more countries, the lives of elites become more precarious.

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

Gerald Celente predicts that the elites will not survive the hatred and anger that they are bringing upon themselves. I suspect that he is correct. The American middle class is being destroyed in order to reduce the budget deficit caused by the loss of tax revenues to jobs offshoring ------------- . The American people are being compelled to suffer in order that elites can continue with their agendas.

The US elites know what is coming. That is why they created a Nazi-style Ministry of the Interior known as Homeland Security, armed with enough ammunition to kill every American five times and with tanks to neutralize the Second Amendment rights of Americans.

The threat that the US government posed to its own citizens was recognized on March 7, 2013, by two US Senators, Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rand Paul (R-KY), who introduced a bill to prevent the US government from murdering its own citizens: “The Federal Government may not use a drone to kill a citizen of the United States who is located in the United States” unless the person “poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to another individual. -------------------------------------------------------- .

[Shinshu no Izumi] NHK Announcer Jun Hori To Resign Will Angry Young Men Belonging to Mass Media Launch a Coup? Let’s Create an Independent New Media!

I agree with this writer. I also want young people to awaken. However, never arouse a feeling of “anger” and “violence.” Please arouse “wisdom.” Wisdom means to realize the fact as it is. Take for example, the fact that deities and alien species exist and are around us.

Masatoshi Takeshita

English translation of an excerpt from a Japanese article: Shinshu no Izumi – March 20, 2013 –

NHK Announcer Jun Hori To Resign Will Angry Young Men Belonging to Mass Media Lauch a Coup? Let’s Create an Independent New Media!

NHK announcer Jun Hori, who was an expectant youth, responsible for the next generation, has decided to leave NHK. From common people’s point of view, he has been on the career track as an elite announcer in NHK. However, my guess is that Mr. Jun Hori, a 36-year-old young announcer, has felt uncomfortable with (critical over) the coverage of mass media on the harsh nuclear power plant accident since March 11, 2011, He also felt angry and disgusted at NHK, which he himself belongs to, because NHK, which plays a role in assisting the force of vested interests associated with nuclear power generation, not only avoids providing substantial reports over the accident, following the example of commercial TV stations but also is being focused on a sort of intentionally biased coverage. (Photograph: “Gendai Business”)

A 36-year-old clean youth, who is regarded as the elite in a public broadcast station, had lofty ideals and dreamed of becoming a respectable journalist. However, he seems to have had a deep anger at the corporate culture of NHK he joined in, particularly in the area of news report, hotbed of the rotten sea.* As Mr. Mad Amano, a parodist, had a deep insight of the incident, at the end of last year Takeshige Morimoto, an announcer, who just served as the host of a program “NHK Special: Final Report of Nuclear Power Plant Accident” featuring serious examination of the severe accident at Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, underwent hardship of arrest in line with the national policy in order to serve as a warning to other major mass media. The same case was with Mr. Kazuhide Uekusa, an economist, and Mr. Naoyuki Mikami, the former editor in chief of the weekly Toyo Keizai, both of whom were accused of unjustly.

Mr. Uekusa, Mr. Morimoto and Mr. Mikami, as exemplars of real journalists, stick to their beliefs, as professionals or individuals, that they dare to express their candid opinions to highlight the huge evil. Mr. Uekusa condemned the huge evil of the Koizumi administration in its economic and political policies. Mr. Morimoto who faithfully served as a MC in the above program, incurred the wrath of the nuclear power establishment and was symbolically turned into a human sacrifice. Mr. Naoyuki Mikami, the former editor in chief of the Toyo Keizai, had edited splendid critical articles of TEPCO in the weekly. They are models of real journalists.

According to the “Gendai Business,” Mr. Jun Hori kept twittering apology to “false report” by NHK as well as criticism, and severely criticized the country as mentioning that the death of a decontamination worker was unrelated to decontamination work. In November last year, he called for thorough disclosure of information and was bold enough to say “It is useless to count on the country and organizations. Stop counting on them any longer. Let’s move on our own. Let’s think on our own. Let’s change this country on our own. Because it is our country” (twitter: on December 12, 2011). He also produced an antinuke film and showed it in UCLA. He had stuck to his guts even in the rotten sea NHK.

With regard to the force of vested interests, Mr. Jun Hori, who has such a level of spirit of rebelliousness, denies the mentality of “Yield to the powerful” and honestly talks about his belief. As a result, NHK bullied him and relegated him to an innocent cooking program to stop his political comments. It is quite natural that Mr. Jun Hori thinks “Don’t fooling around.” Even if Mr. Jun Hori with strong will power stays in NHK, he will eventually “suffer being investigated in line with the national policy.” Therefore, he has made the wisest judgment of retirement to launch a new career, jumping out of the cage. There is no future in Japan unless the young awaken and demonstrate their anger by action. This writer, a patriotic old man, has high hopes for “undaunted young people” like Mr. Jun Mori.

(Note)*Rotten sea

It is an image appearing in a film “Kaze no Tani no Naushika” directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which is a grotesque world where toxic miasma evaporates. Current mass media is the very hotbed of rotten sea, grotesque complex of vested interests and starts causing Japan to corrode with its miasma.
