What a joke. I went on a business trip on the 14th of September 2008, and by the time I returned one week later the media was spewing that it was the possible end of capitalism as we know it. Then, they proceeded to rob the Federal reserve of fiat currency in a panic and rushed to hand out corporate social welfare benefits in the middle of a significant U.S. regime change. Like no one saw it coming other than the occasional spew about the loan crisis? One day it is fine, one week later it was announced that it was the possible end of capitalism as we know it?
The fact is that there has been a problem for quite a long time. While many were too busy waving flags and swimming in a media spewed rhetoric of fighting for the notion of freedom, it was suddenly announced that the economic sky was falling resulting in the formulation of a perfect excuse for a lot of already suffering companies to claim poor performance and cut labor.
Why the perfect excuse for everyone to claim poor performance? Because if any poorly performing large corporate entity had tried to make any cuts before the official media announcement of recession, they would have surely suffered due to their share price tanking resulting in billions in loses and then there would have been hell to pay explaining why their entity is suffering and everyone else appears to be doing fine.
Ironically, this phenomenon also prevents many large entities in our markets honestly trying to adjust their operations to reflect true current market forces due to the fear of how their decisions will be reflected in the media and how that public information affects their share price in the world markets. Bubble burst? Never all at once…Been there, done that.

Yeah, the American people are divided, quartered, and distracted by the issues of the 5 G’s in u.s. politics (Gays, God, Guns, Gambling, and Gynecology), resulting in the political campaign issues that really matter and impact the lives of each and every citizen to be ignored. Does this mean the United States or New Hampshire can finally move on to the issues that really matter?

Doesn’t matter if A(H1N1) mutates into obscurity, or resurfaces in a few months as a pandemic killer of all pessimistic cake eaters, nations around the globe need to get into their supply closets and dust off their gear and procedures for dealing with such threats anyway….

So what to the news. Depends if the virus continues to mutate as it refugees into new bio containers while it spreads around the world. Actually, it is common for this particular pathogen to greatly subside where host zero originally was, only to mutate over and over in different forms and pop up a few months later elsewhere…i.e.: So far this A(H1N1) is part pig pathogen from North America, part pig pathogen from Eurasia, part bird pathogen from North America, and part human pathogen. It could evolve in its evolutionary quest of natural fitness and not kill its host (similar to what some hope the HIV will eventually do), or…time will tell...pass the bottle....

Oh yes captain my captains, my decision makers, my life lines, for maybe it will be nothing for I have not been educated in the bowls of your institutional intellects, nor do I speak your many dialects. Yet still, woe is the unprepared, for all life is bio mass made up of multi-bio organisms that through time, have come together to form natural fitness. Present life, once divided separate micro bio organisms, created in self supporting environments, and programmed to group, seek mass, (and self divide in some cases) and defend fitness through evolutionary bio-coding, consistently gather, fuse and or reject, within environmental states of self supporting bio containments (the living body of life for you simpletons), and in the course of time, environmentally pending, fought and fight off threats of undesirable negative bio intrusions that threatened the bio-groupings natural fitness, and eventually, result, and have resulted, in the present day human mass. In other words, desirable bio intrusions bond within our bodies and some go undetected. Those that are undesirable, turn up in familiar forms of viruses, prions, and the like that destroy the bio-container. Therefore, a little hysteria is permitted for A(H1N1) for woe is man who forgets the plagues of it’s past. Woe is the man who contemplates this on the tree of woe. Wow, the above is all in Genesis, what copy were you all provided and basing your populations being on….also, the Book of the Upright makes for interesting reading if you should feel inclined to educate yourselves....

Hilarious is the fact that when it comes to working together on Japan/Asian multinational business projects or issues of capital investment, relations about the issue appear to be fine. Also, I wonder if Japan didn’t have the most powerful economy in Asia, would the others even give a rats ...?

Past and present communist systems appear to always require the implementation of a societal system of strict and structured control over its inhabitants to ensure that their abstract notion of group equality can be achieved thus preventing individualisms, self expressions, and other forms of personal liberties in order to ensure their systems survival. Enforcement of such policies by any system of governance is nothing more than a tyranny.
If I may leave a quote: ''Of all the tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.'' C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

Sure, that is how all the workers should think right? Don’t worry, be happy, keep working, eventually you too can enjoy your virtuous retirement on the banks of the Tama River while the board plays by the sea and sends their children to private schools. Don’t worry; their children will in turn repeat the cycle on your children. What a sham clown theory!!! What works for a dead single poet with no responsibilities doesn’t necessarily work for a family in contemporary society.

Well said Loki520. And so ends our lesson in local elected Okinawa PSY-OPS 101 that originated in the late 90`s, special interest, particular elected officials and profiting construction entities, and the constant published madness of Joe does it all resulting in a thrown cup of hot Joe…unless of course…the media, really wants to kick it up a notch and play hehehe…We can start with Swamp Kuma…

Objective: Further develop Okinawa into a resort destination. Step 1: influence the local populace to assist in this endeavor by encouraging the removal of the U.S. bases by exciting the emotions of the local populace through the use of the press. Actions taken: excited the local populace with stories related to crimes committed by U.S. forces against the local populace, noise, and other issues deemed to be nuisances. Results: Demonstrations, occasional civic unrest, and the cooperation of the national government in Tokyo to develop a plan to jointly prepare facilities in Guam through the use of national tax. Risk: minimal as of now except occasional thrown cups of hot coffee or other hostile acts committed by the locals towards U.S. entities…
