Is Second Korean War Going to Happen?

The article of the linked website introduced a perspective and the possibility of Second Korean War. Let's take a look at it!

For grad job seekers, only 19.7% could get a job!?

According to CBS, the percentage of grad job seekers in 2009 was just 19.7%, which dropped from 51% in 2007.

It seems that some of those who couldn’t get a job tend to go to a graduate school, but I feel that it may end up being just a waste of investment (at least if this happens in Japan).

I feel that education is a big business industry and many of young people tend to be victims of the business (at least in Japan) because degrees do not work in real society.

Old formula will not work for current young people. Current young people have to get out of a traditional way of life and establish a new life concept or own life formula, and then, they have to live with it.

Chaos Japan--What IS Invisible Force?

A leader of Democratic Party of Japan, opposite party, expressed to quit the party leader a little before today. The reason was that he caused the chaos and distrust in his party.

Impossible to understand. I think that very few Japanese people can understand what is going on in Japan now. Pretty scary.

I feel that a big plan is moving behind the series of play. Things are going too rapidly.

From the idea of coalition between Liberal Democratic Party and Democratic Party of Japan to the today's announcement, I can only assume that somebody tries to do something rapidly.

Coalition report 2

It seems that the opposite party, Democratic Party of Japan rejected the request from Liberal Democratic Party for the coalition. What's going on!!!??? Too rapid...Really, really, impossible to understand...What's really going on in Japan??

What's going to happen in Japan? Autocracy? Emergent News...

Prime Minister Fukuda in ruling party asked the opposite party, Democratic Party of Japan to work with coalition. Emergent news has just been announced now.

If the two parties get together, it means the autocracy. They can pass any law.

Who's moving behind? The law to send self-defense force to help America may be related. Or tax?

Anyways, if this happens, the last lower house election in which Democratic Party of Japan won largely becomes meaningless.

Citizens may have been just shown a well-planned play, called politics.

Prime Minister of Japan Decides to Step Down.--From Japan

Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, has determined to quit on 12th and told it to top officials of the ruling party. Yomiuri newspaper has just reported it.

He is going to have a press conference afternoon.

Finally, but there was a news yesterday or two days ago that he said something like, "If I cannot extend the special law for Iraq with which Self-Defense Force will keep on joining in Iraq war."

Soon after he said it, he decided to quit today. What does this mean?

Of course, there are so many reasons why he has to quit. Piles of domestic matters. However, the timing of his decision to quit was quite bad or too late.

From beginning to the end, it seems that he has shown that he is quite unfit for the top position, Prime Minister.

A Retirement Allowance with 50% Increase for a Police Who Murdered a Woman--from Japan

There was a surprising murder caused by a police in Japan, but there was one more surprise.

The senior policeman who stoked a woman tenaciously and finally killed is supposed to get 1.2 million Japanese yen, a retirement allowance that is 50% higher than usual case. Lots of claims occurred from Japanese citizens. Of course...

The police killed the woman with his pistol and committed suicide afterwards. What kind of organization gives the retirement allowance with 50% plus to a person who murdered? This happened in police organization of Japan. Can you believe it?

Why? It is said that it's the law. Law. According to the law in Tokyo, it seems that the retirement allowance should be paid except for such as dismissal in disgrace. However, he is criminal. How can he get the retirement money that is paid by tax? Plus 50%? Oh my goodness!!

This incident shows that government organizations focus on the laws more than common sense, tenaciously. Can't laugh...

Middle Class Is Disappearing? Is this an effect of globalization?--from Japan

More than 30 % in total workers is not full-time worker in current Japan. The number seems not to decelerate.

Is Japan totally going to the American structure where the rich and the poor are nearly completely divided? Maybe. If houses are picked up from middle class, America may face a disastrous disorder of society. I hope that America would not repeat the similar situation of Japan after bubble exploded.

The number of car sales in Japan is quite tumbling. The president of Toyota looks puzzled, but he should know why. Youngsters. Youngsters are getting the short end of the stick. How can they purchase cars? Even clothes shops cannot attract people, including youngsters so much. Broke.

I though that Japan is in a bit dangerous situation thinking about the soaring debt, but it seems that America may be more dangerous... while I feel the power of China (though I cannot imagine the depth of their internal matters) or India. Talking about the hope for future, youngsters in China or India may have bright vision compared with those of Japan.

The time is really changing. As history shows, a big country cannot maintain forever. A turn is coming.

Is the Relationship between Japan and America Going to Change? Japan May Withdraw from Iraq? Another Ichiro Shows the Fang.--from Japan

Ichiro Ozawa, a head of Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) that got a big win in the last month's Lower House Election, declined to extend the dispatch of Self-Defense Force in Iraq. Japan media reported.

Ozawa met ambassador Schieffer on 8th afternoon. Shieffer asked him to extend the special anti-terrorism law, but Ozawa said, "This is the war that America started without gaining the international consensus. So, we could not join the operation."

Japan's ruling party is still Liberal Democratic Party that hugely lost in the last month election. Because Prime Minister keeps on showing his incompetence in his position, he is now getting fired by colleagues in LDP.

If there is a snap election in the near future, it is highly possible that LDP gets a tremendous defeat. If so, it's the turn of Ozawa though it cannot be sure whether or not Ozawa wants to be Prime Minister. Anyway, DPJ holds the control of Japan in that case.

If all the scenarios become true, it is interesting to observe how America responds.

After subprime matter, America may face another prime issue.

The Master of Positive Thinking--A Prime Minister of Japan

Liberal Democraptic Party (LDP) in Japan lost with tremendous loss of its seats, but Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, still believes that citizens did not reject him.

The Prime Minister said in a debate between LDP and Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) that got a landslide victory, "Which person is suitable for the Prime Minister of this country, I or opposite party leader?"

Where is his memory? The problem was not only his memory but the ability to judge.

The Prime Minister decided to make a Minister of Farm Ministry who brought a controversial matter about his spending without opening the receipts quit finally. Why didn't he do that before the election? For this judgment, even the politicians in his party have claimed hardly.

What the Prime Minister has done looks absurd. Ironically, this series of stupidity seem to tell us that anybody can be Prime Minister of Japan because this country is controlled by government officials as somebody said.

P.S. I'm sorry if there is a misspelling.

Ruling Party Debacle. The number of seats Will be completely REVERSED!!--from Japan

As I said in this blog before, ruling party, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is about to lose crazy number of seats. Top officials in LDP made some comments, "I have never experienced this sort of toughest election."

LDP predicted the line of winning and losing as 51 seats, but it is going to be around middle of 30, or in the worst case for them, it may be around 30 or less than that of it. Amazingly low.

I understand how general Japanese citizens are in the flame of anger for the current ruling party.

Honestly speaking, I feel that citizens also do not know what the Democratic Party that will jump quite a lot can do with confidence. However, there is a firm fact that citizens have felt disgusted with the ruling party.

The result that will be firmly decided tonight or earth tomorrow will show how tough and angry Japanese citizens are feeling in the current life that has been going worse and worse and worse under currently party, LDP.

Mass Media Not Relying on Advertisement Revenue Can Keep a True Journalism? --from Japan

Mass Media such as newspapers or TV relies on big companies about the revenue. This may be preventing them from being a true journalism.

In Japan, MyNews Japan that is an innovative internet media not relying on the advertisements from companies is getting noticed, and it picked up "Shinbun(newspaper) Red Flag" being published by Japan Communist Party. It has been run without getting any advertisement from companies as well.

MyNews Japan, an online media, praised the "Shiubun Red Flag" saying, "There are many social matters related to big companies such as Canon, Toyota, or Matsushita and to politicians' corruption.

Traditional big newspapers started to follow the matters after the "Shinbun Red Flag" picked up. This means that the dominant newspapers do not work as journalism because they cannot criticize the important matters that are truly for citizens. The perspective of citizens is lacking.

The reason why traditional newspapers are decreasing the sales is not just because of the development of internet but the decline of the quality.

A Country That Deceives Citizens, Japan--from Japan

I found an article written by a well-known Japanese business consultant, Kenichi Omae. in the website of Nikkei BP. The title was a bit stimulating.

Personally, I think that the fact that the government cheats citizens may be universal, but as a case study, I want to roughly summarize the article:

Very unfortunately, we cannot count how many times government has cheated citizens. A recent example of the deleted pension shows it well. The matter is so critical that the nation may fall down. However, in the website of Social Insurance Agency, there is no serious reflection except for routine apologetic phrase that the government officials often use.

Government has mainly three ways to cheat citizens.

First, change the name of organizations without seriously changing inside. For instance, high-way related public corporations were privatized, but no government officials were fired. No system was changed.

Second, don't tell anything to citizens. For instance, so many government officials of baby-boomer generation have started to retire from 2007. For their crazy amount of retirement fees, so many local authority bonds were issued. It's a debt that the general citizens have to pay. If the private companies are under huge debt, how can they pay for the big retirement fee?

Third, pretend not to know. For instance, though Japan has three antinuclear principles, America have brought it to Japan freely without letting Japanese citizens know.

That's it. Yes, I quite agreed with the article. Since traditional mass media have not disclosed important things, citizens have not known what's going on in underground. However, some people start to disclose them on internet. And finally, even traditional mass media seem to have no choice but to pick up a part of the matters that citizens start to know though just a part.

Now will be the time that we have to think as independently as possible.

A 52 Years Old Japanese Died from Starvation Having Been Rejected to Get Daily Life Protection--from Japan

Do you still believe that Japan is a rich country? It may be true up to the angle you see, but the fact that some people die from starvation will cast a strong doubt to you.

In north Kyushu city, a 52 years old man died alone at home from starvation. He was writing a diary in which he wrote, "I want to eat a rice ball."

It is said that he was getting the daily life protection, but it was cut in April of this year.

The North Kyushu city explained the reason why they stopped to provide the final protection, "When we recommended the person to work, he said yes."

However, in the diary, the person was writing the dissatisfaction about the terrible treatment.

This sort of event is not the first time in this city, actually.

"Beautiful country, Japan". This slogan is often emphasized by the current government, but citizens start to get aware of the true meaning. Japanese citizens start to notice that the slogan is useful in punch line.

Inconvenience Truths are Waiting to Be Discovered? --from Japan

Government said good bye to the people, bye to the people, for their benefits.

I may have a bit bad memory about what Abraham Lincoln said, but it seems not wrong thinking of the pension matter in Japan government.

The ruling party keeps claiming Social Insurance Agency for the disappeared records, around 51,000,000 cases (publicly announced number). However, some people on internet are talking about the "Eaten Money" not disappeared records.

Thinking calmly, some citizens begin to notice that the number of the disappeared cases is too much. It will be true that the government workers in the Social Insurance Agency have done terribly wrong, and if the same thing happened in a private firm, so many people would have been arrested and fired. But, another truth is that the money must have been used by other government workers and people in public corporations.

Some citizens start to feel that the saving of the pension does not exist actually having eaten out by government related people. That's why when politicians in Democratic Party asked the ruling party to show how much the remaining value of the accumulated pension is, the ruling party could not answer at all. Of course, they will be unable to tell the money that has gone away already.

Though the politicians in the ruling party say that a labor union in the Social Insurance Agency is connected with the Democratic Party, but the fact is that this opposite party disclosed and pursued the matter of the pension in the Social Insurance Agency.

In addition, Japanese citizens may have already forgotten that a politician in the Democratic Party who was about to disclose the truth for the pension problem was KILLED around 5 years ago. This means that there IS a fact that government officials NEVER want citizens to know about this pension matter.

When the government loses the trust from citizens completely, the destruction of nation will truly start.

Which Party Is Selected in Coming Election? --from Japan

The election of the House of Councillors is finally coming in this month in Japan.

The approval rate for the current government is less than 30% that cannot have seen in recent years. It seems that the number is predicting the change of the party to lead Japan, but it may not mean the change.

Opposite party, Democratic Party, has not been approved by citizens enough. The supporting rate for the Democratic Party is said to be around 16 % according to the article of Asahi newspaper today.

A number of citizens do not support any party… Distrust for the politics seems to be getting deep and deep. However, in the next election, those who voted for the ruling party in the last election may stop to vote for it because of a series of ridiculous failures and problems such as pension or improper words of cabinet members.

Citizens' feeling may be like: LDP cannot do anything though Democratic Party is not reliable, either. However, taking what's been going under LDP into consideration, Japan's society has been going worse for general citizens. If so, just let the opposite party try to lead this country.

For citizens, no choice. Anyways, citizens want politicians to think about general citizens seriously and hope that the politicians stop enjoying a "party" being held somewhere underground.

Debt Keeps Updating the Worst Record, but Bonus is Going UP, too. An invitation for Mr. Michael Moore--from Japan

Today, 29th, public servants in whole Japan got a summer bonus. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the average amount of the bonus in general administrative post except for management positions was about 624,000 yen (average age of 34.7) around 900 yen UP from last summer. And the average of the bonus of public servants in local areas was around 597,000 yen (average age of 36.5) UP around 100 yen. Japan media reported it today.

General Japanese citizens' query for them: Why can public servants get the bonus that even increased under the critical financial condition of government of Japan and the unreasonable amount of retirement reward?

This question is getting stronger and general Japanese citizens are furious over it because citizens' burdens such as tax or insurance are skyrocketing.

A couple days ago, it was announced that the debt of Japan marked the worst number: 834,000,000,000,000 yen at the end of 2006. That number means that each citizen is given the debt, 6,530,000 yen.

I think that if Mr. Michael Moore has difficulty finding good topics, he should come to Japan anytime. Many awful truths are waiting for him.

Kiichi Miyazawa, Past Prime Minister Passed Away--From Japan

Past Prime Minister, Kiichi Miyazawa who carried out fully economic measures in late '80 and '90 in the financial crisis. He is praised for having saved the bankruptcy of Japan Economy but is blamed for having left lots of debt.

It is true that he may have relied on public money too much with Keynesian theory and left the minus property, a lot. However, the matter of accumulated debt will, actually, lie in the structure of government organizations that has never been changed though Yubari City was forced to change after it went bankrupt.

In around 1998, a Japanese writer of economic paper has already mentioned that Japan has to cut the government workers or those who are related to government organizations.

In my memory, when that Prime Minister was alive, Japanese general citizens have not known about the financial condition of Japan so much. Just recently, we, general citizens start to know a bit clearly (too late…).

Bureaucratic system will not change until it gets a critical damage like Yubari. It's not the organization like private firms that have to change flexibly to survive. The concept for salary is light and shade.

Devastating Defeat of Liberal Democratic Party is Getting Real. National Crime of Social Insurance Agency Gave Them Coup De Grace--From Japan

The time that the LDP in Japan gets an ultimatum from citizens is coming next month. Japanese citizens will no more be cheated. I feel that Japanese citizens are not such stupid.

The pension matter caused by Social Insurance Agency showed what the government organization is to citizens in a dynamic way. This was too critical for LDP because the matter of pension gave live and real damage the people whose voting rate is high. Those citizens whose ages are relatively high finally felt the pain through their own body. They will show the anger in the election.

Though opposite party, Democratic Party is also not reliable enough, Japanese citizens will know who have run this country where citizens are bleeding greatly if Japanese citizens could keep the accumulated anger until the election without being disturbed by some entertainments that may be put before the election.

What this Social Insurance Agency has done is totally national crime, but nobody has got arrested so far. This sort of unreasonable treatment for government workers and organizations is getting quite clear and citizens finally start to be awakened.

The game of LDP over years is about to be over.

A Politician from a Wrestler Decided to Retire in Just One Term. Don't Wanna be an Election Tool. --From Japan

Atsushi Onita who was a popular wrestler among youngsters at that time and became a politician decided to leave the ring without seeking the seat in the coming election.

He said, "the election of the House of Councillors is not a tool to collect popularity for the office of Prime Minister".

Ruling party, Liberal Democratic Party, started to use famous people to collect votes since 2001 when the system that people can vote writing an individual name was established.

Japanese citizens also know that almost all of those politicians called, "talent members", have done nothing except for collecting votes.

It will be true that government more than the standard of citizens is not established. Because citizens tend to vote for the celebrities without thinking about what they can do for citizens, government has applied the method.

LDP is trying to recruit a famous ex-teacher called, "Yankee Teacher" in the coming election.
