First Lady Melani Trum's Speech

 She is brave and class! May god bless her.

Remember Jessica Lynch in Iraqi War

 She told Iraqi people were kind and she wasn't beaten or raped.

Then, hey, anonymonus soldiers, what are you talking from now on? Was he Tom Cruise from Hollywood? Or, they don't exist at all?

Don't use God's name like this!

Then lots of colonels and generals oppose the Hollywood-style ground operation just for Trump's midterm, and they were sacked by Hegseth. American army and PLA both are both losing important resources because of their highest boss.

Japanese Folk Story: Binbou-gami, the god of poverty貧乏神の日本昔話

In Japan, there is a saying called “Yaoyorozu-no-kami," meaning “eight million gods.” It is believed that there are eight million deities in Japan. Among them is the God of Poverty.

There is a traditional Japanese folktale that goes like this: A farming couple worked hard everyday, but no matter how much they worked, they remained poor. Still, they had enough to eat and were happy without complaints. One day at the end of the year, they heard the sound of quiet sobbing coming from their closet, so they opened the door to see what was going on. Inside was the God of Poverty. The God of Poverty explained that he had to give way to the God of Fortune the following year, but he was so sad because he didn’t want to leave—he felt so at home there—that he had been crying.

Hearing this, the couple felt great sympathy for him. They decided to prevent the God of Fortune from entering their home and let the God of Poverty stay with them. The God of Fortune was so surprised because every single person except this spouses welcomed the wealth. Anyway, he noticed that he was not welcome, so he left there wondering why this happened.

The couple remained poor for the rest of their lives, but they lived happily ever after with the God of Poverty.

When I was a kid, if we heard about self-made millionaires, we talked each other like this: He must have committed something criminal, something bad at least! We called such persons "nari-kin" with disgrace. Nari-kin is originally one of the shogi pieces which turns from "fu," 歩, infantry to "kin," 金, gold.

Japan is part of the global economy, however, still independent and less affected by the recent oil-shock. One reason is that we somewhat respect poverty, which contradicts the global economy's seduction.

Be free from the trap of wealth! May god"s" bless you. 

There are variations, by the way.

月で資材を集めて建築をするという計画・・・砂上の楼閣

 アポロが持ち帰った月の砂の試料（レゴリス）を基に、月面で資材を集めて建設を行う、という、夢のような計画が、各国の各企業で進められています

大林組　レゴリス

しかし、レゴリスは本当に月の砂でしょうか

実はアメリカの大嘘で地球の砂だったら完全に無駄、それどころか、本当に建設を進めようというときに大事故を起こします

文字通り、砂上の楼閣となるのです

1980年代後半、日本の大槻教授（早稲田大学）は、科学者の良心から

「月の砂の成分は、地球の砂の成分と、全く同じである、これが月の砂であるはずがない」

と、明言していました

しかし、その後、彼は

「立場上、言えないことがある」

と、口をつぐみました

レゴリスは本当に月の砂でしょうか

1969年当時のコンピューターがファミコン以下であったにもかかわらず月面着陸や地上の大統領との電話を行い、その後の半世紀以上の技術的飛躍にもかかわらず未だアメリカが月に宇宙飛行士を二度と送れていない

1969年当時のソ連との競争関係や、ベトナム反戦運動などの政治情勢的に、アメリカは失敗というリスクを取れなかった

いわゆる宇宙飛行士たちの、記者会見における不審な挙動

まぁ普通に1968年スタンリーキューブリック監督「2001年宇宙の旅」のダイジェスト版だったんじゃないか、というのが、私の考えです

To American Soldiers "Ikanaide" by Tamaki Koji

 This song is about the final night before “the one you love most goes to die tomorrow.” Because the one you love has been given a special mission, even though it is their last night together, they cannot even utter words of farewell or voices of joy. All they can express is tears - please don't go...
