America better than Japan?


I am at home sick, up at 4 am with nothing better to do so... going through this persons older posts, he claims to be a Japanese national, and in addition to that has been talking about getting the hell out of the USA for like 2 years now... so even if he is really Japanese, (which i doubt for some reason) and appearing so passionate about this, why in the heck has it taken him so long just to get himself back to his home country?

My guess would be, trying to find a job maybe, so if that is the case what does that tell you about the economic situation here in Japan too. Not to mention, Japan and America's economies have a lot of connections, and with the yen being so strong these days, Japan's export market ie. its backbone, is totally taking it in the rear. To me these are common sense deductions, so really, I cannot understand his rosy outlook towards Japan contrasting it with the "certain demise" of America.

More news (from a completely different source) on America's financial demise.

http://www.escapefromamerica.com/2010/11/the-united-bankrupt-states-of-america/

A quote from the article:

Unlike the Roaring ツ'20s bubble in the U.S., the 1980s bubble in Japan, or present economic conditions in China, the current economic situation in the U.S. is one of financial downturn and crisis, with rising budget deficits, a persistent trade deficit, and very low savings rates. We are a net debtor nation, and big time. Europe is similar. The richest nations in the world cannot afford an endless stimulus program, because we are already too much in debt—government, business, consumers, and financial institutions. Financial institutions in the U.S. already have more debt than either the government or all consumers. They used to lend against consumer and business deposits. Now, they borrow to lend at even higher leverage to the system, which brings an unprecedented level of debt.

Enjoy!

I really want to provide u the link, but its broken they shut it down, so i just copy paste it here. I just want to said the US goverment cause a massive destruction on humanity, as you are not essentially US citizen, or european citizen, like im not essentially Indonesia citizen, but the essence, we are the citizen of earth, our nationality if it ever necessary its humanity. And what those elite done, its massarce toward humanity. Stop them by not supporting them, and i think difference presiden doesnt made any different, it have the same sponsor and donator, and it do have the same owner. Us are own, they already sold out to some-group. Your goverment are nothing but a puppet.

Can The wolrd Save the World Childern?

And i think, no one ever want to get involve in this :

About 0.5 million infants die avoidably each year in the US Occupied Territories, 9.5 million die world-wide annually under Obama and 60 million will die annually through climate genocide. In despair we ask can Children save the World's children through school genocide and war crimes tribunals?

Let us examine these shocking numbers that derive from authoritative sources.

1. Passive mass murder of over 4 million infants in US Alliance wars (1990-2009).

Consulting UNICEF we obtain the following estimates of "annual under-5 infant deaths" in the following countries subject to occupation by the US or US-backed surrogates: Occupied Afghanistan (338,000), Occupied Haiti (21,0000), Occupied Iraq (41,000), Occupied Palestinian Territory (4,000), and Occupied Somalia (54,000), for a total of 458,000 per annum (i.e. about 0.5 million) and 1,255 per day. Note that this analysis ignores Occupied Diego Garcia that has been completely ethnically cleansed, partially occupied countries such as Lebanon and Syria and countries subject to ongoing US-backed wars, notably the US robot-bombed NW Provinces of Pakistan. About 90% of these infant deaths are avoidable and due to non-supply of life-preserving requisites by the war criminal US or US surrogate Occupiers.

However this assessment ignores US hegemony over much of the Planet in addition to the territories that the US and its surrogates are actually militarily occupying, namely Occupied Haiti (originally invaded by US forces, now replaced by US-backed UN forces), Occupied Somalia (by the US, US-backed Ethiopia and US-backed African Union forces), Occupied Cyprus (by US ally Turkey), Occupied Palestine, Occupied Lebanon (the Shebaa Farms area), Occupied Jordan and Occupied Syria (by US-backed Apartheid Israel), Occupied Iraq, Occupied Diego Garcia, Occupied Afghanistan (by the US Alliance) and US robot-bombed NW Pakistan (US robot occupation from the air – no wedding parties or family picnics are safe from US mass murder).

UN Population Division data tell us that post-invasion under-5 infant deaths in the still-occupied Occupied Haitian, Somalian, Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories total 0.08 million, 0.2 million, 0.2 million, 0.6 million and 2.3 million, respectively. To this we can add the 1.2 million Iraqi under-5 year old infants who died under Sanctions (1990-2003) to yield a horrendous total of 4.6 million under-5 year old deaths of which 90% were avoidable i.e. 4.1 million avoidable infant deaths due to US Alliance war crimes.

A major part of these ongoing war crimes is the US Alliance occupation of Afghanistan (the ongoing Afghan Genocide) and the human cost is revealed by UNICEF statistics - 338,000 under-5 year old infants die each year in Occupied Afghanistan, 90% avoidably and largely because the Occupier refuses to supply life-sustaining food and medical supplies unequivocally demanded of an Occupier by Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War "to the fullest extent of the means available to it".

WHO informs us that the total annual per capita health expenditure permitted by the US Alliance in Occupied Afghanistan is $29 as compared to $6,714 for Occupier United States of America (aka United States of Israel).

The bottom line in any comparative analysis of violent wrongdoing is consequential death. The current "annual death rate" is 7% for Occupied Afghan under-5 year old infants under the US Alliance - as compared to that of 4% (for Poles under the Nazis in WW2), 5% (French Jews under the Nazis and the Nazi-collaborator Vichy régime in WW2), 13% (Australian POWs of the Japanese in WW2) and 19% (Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe) (see "Polish Holocaust (1939-1945) & Afghan Holocaust (2001- )" ).

2. Passive mass murder of 9.5 million infants annually on First World-dominated Spaceship Earth.

There is an even bigger picture of avoidable child mortality that encompasses not just the evil American Empire but much of the rest of the World.

Recent estimates published in Global Research indicate that the US military currently has 737 military bases in 63 countries and 2.4 million military personnel in a total of 156 countries. Further, the US with 5% of the world's population consumes 25% of the world's resources. Accordingly, the US makes a major contribution to global avoidable mortality (excess deaths, avoidable deaths) that in the period 1950-2005 totalled 1.3 billion (the World), 1.2 billion (the non-European World) and 0.6 billion (the Muslim World), these estimate being consonant with UN Population Division data indicating 1950-2005 under-5 year old infant deaths that totalled 0.85 billion (the World), 0.8 billion (the non-European World) and 0.4 billion (the Muslim World).

While excess deaths in the period 1950-2005 totalled 82 million in countries actually militarily occupied by the US in the post-1945 period, the US Alliance (the US, UK, France, NATO, Australasia, Japan) has a much greater share of responsibility for the 1950-2005 global avoidable holocaust of 1.3 billion avoidable deaths. Accordingly, the US under Obama is a major contributor to the annual global avoidable mortality of 16 million avoidable deaths, with 9.5 million of these being of under-5 year old infants (for details see my book "Body Count. Global Avoidable mortality since 1950", G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya ).

3. 6 billion infants are predicted to perish in climate genocide due to unaddressed, man-made global warming.

The global avoidable mortality catastrophe is going to get worse as a consequence of unaddressed, First World-imposed, man-made global warming as outlined below.

The First World (notably the US, UK and Europe in general) has been largely responsible for the enormous increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution in the post-industrial era. Thus massive man-made greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution in the industrial era (post-1750) has pushed atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration to a current 390 ppm (corresponding to about 475 ppm CO2-e or CO2-equivalent of total GHGs including all GHGs such as CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, CFCs, SF6 and NF3) - well outside the range of 180-300 ppm CO2 obtaining during the final evolution of Homo sapiens from his immediate precursors over the last 600,000 years and the very stable atmospheric situation over the last 10,000 year post-Ice Age period during which Man evolved the sophisticated societies we have today.

The atmospheric CO2 is currently increasing at 2.5 ppm per year – at the present rate we will reach 450 ppm CO2 within 24 years, above which level coral dies from ocean acidification and warming with horrendous implications for ocean ecosystems and fisheries. "Annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution" in units of "tonnes CO2-equivalent per person per year" is presently 0.9 (Bangladesh), 0.9 (Pakistan), 2.2 (India), 3.1 (Developing World), 5.5 (China), 6.7 (the World), 11 (Europe), 16 (Developed World), 23 (Canada), 27 (the US) and 30 (Australia; or 54 if Australia's huge Exported CO2 pollution is included).

The consequences of unaddressed, man-made global warming are dire. Top UK climate scientist Dr James Lovelock FRS has estimated that 1 billion people or fewer will survive this century due to insufficiently addressed, man-made climate change. This translates (from UN Population Division projections) to a First World-imposed climate genocide that is predicted to kill 10 billion non-Europeans this century, this carnage including 6 billion under-5 year old infants, 3 billion Muslims (a Muslim Holocaust 500 times greater than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust or the "forgotten" WW2 Bengali Holocaust), 2 billion Indians, 1.4 billion non-Arab Africans, 0.6 billion Arabs, 0.5 billion Bengalis, 0.3 billion Pakistanis and 0.3 billion Bangladeshis.

Can Humanity evade the looming catastrophe of climate genocide that is already underway? My chemist, physicist and biologist associates are uniformly pessimistic because there is huge gulf between what science says should happen and what politicians are putting on the table.

Recently some of the World's top climate scientists in a peer-refereed paper in the top scientific journal Nature stated that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration should be reduced from the present circa 390 parts per million (ppm) "and should not exceed 350 parts per million" in order to prevent "unacceptable environmental change".

Similarly, a Working Party of the prestigious UK Royal Society recently stated that "The Earth's atmospheric CO2 level must be returned to less than 350ppm to reverse this escalating ecological crisis and to 320ppm to ensure permanent planetary health", a view consonant with that of other top climate scientists who warn that the atmospheric CO2 must be urgently reduced to circa 300 ppm to save the Arctic ice, the Biosphere and Humanity .

Unfortunately, World governments, backed by popular and corporate greed, are approaching the December 2009 Copenhagen Climate Summit negotiations committed to INCREASING atmospheric CO2, in stark contravention of the advice from the World's top climate scientists. The best First World offer is from EU countries committed to no more than a 2 degree C temperature rise (relative to 1990), a ceiling of 450 ppm CO2-e greenhouse gas (GHG as CO2 equivalent) and a decrease in GHG pollution of 2% per year.

However there can be no negotiation with the Laws of Physics and Chemistry. Thus over 90% of scientists polled at the March 2009 University of Copenhagen Climate Change Conference believed that 2 degrees C above the 1900 temperature was inevitable; the GHG concentration is already 475 ppm CO2-e (of which about 390 ppm is CO2); and top climate scientists from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University of Manchester, have recently estimated that an annual 6-8% decrease in GHG pollution is required to stabilize atmospheric CO2-e at the present level.

Both the Biosphere and Humanity are already under acute threat. Australian medical science Nobel Laureate Professor Peter Doherty has said "We are in real danger". The present species extinction rate is 100-1,000 times the normal rate. 16 million people die avoidably each year from deprivation, this carnage including about 9.5 million under-5 year old infants and increasingly being impacted by man-made climate change – but this will rise to a 21st century average of 100 million avoidable deaths per year due to insufficiently addressed man-made global warming.

Copenhagen is looming as the biggest failure in human history. Humanity needs to urgently galvanize to meet the emergency and overcome the cowardice, dishonesty and greed of the various political Establishments that, in turn, are directed by the cowardice, dishonesty and greed not just of the Corporate bosses but also of the voting masses. (Details of the above are set out here in "Legal accountability of people, politicians, corporations and countries for war crimes and climate crimes ".

note : if im to offense, thats really not my intention, i just want to tell u fact, that u might not know, what really happen out there, and what kind of war, and goverment that you are supporting now. So u can answer, many question that silently being ask, in your hearth. "whats wrong?" indeed, there is something wrong.

Its not for democracy, its not for freedom, its for greed, and this greed bleed the world and humanity, and yet there still one who reject it. As it do being warn,

And when it said unto them: act not corruptly on the earth, they say: we are but reconcilers. (11) Lo! verily it is they who are the corrupters, and yet they perceive not. (12) (Al-Baqarah)
 
abdalrasyid> without getting too into detail. I feel a lot of these statistics are really, really really far-fetched. there are almost no direct causal relationships established here. I mean grated I agree with you that the first world has exploited the 3rd world to some extent, and that resources are not spread out evenly etc.. but I am sorry saying things like US or 1st World does this and it equals 7 billion trillion deaths... things are not that simple. So really trying to establish true causal relationships with anything you posted is next to impossible I would say. And honestly these just sound like "shock value" numbers, trying to make the US and other 1st world countries look way more directly responsible for these deaths than they actually are.
 

It shock u, indeed. But your reaction also shock me, i praise your reaction, i imagine im gonna face a raging US patriot that gonna throw me all the un-logical self defence, to establish "right or wrong is my country", but u seems understand, is not about your country, or my country, is about our earth. Here, im discussing with human not a man that being doctrine with consensus called nationalism. Strange feeling but i do feel happy, its rare thing to encounter. I mean it Chido, i go to many forum.

I know u can divide between right and wrong, good and bad. Im not gonna force u to believe it or not, its as clear as your reflection at the mirror. If u cant see it, its mean u dont want to see it.

We do believe how hitler killed millions of jew just on the couple of year, less then decades. How can we are not believe, this massrace that being done all over country, not only Afghan, not only Iraq, its being done more then 50 year. Why it cant reach that number?

Here, see the US soldier himself confess, u may not hear me or my brother who being the victim. But maybe u might hear him.

US Soldier COnfess

i hope u found your enlightment. Toward reality.

I hope u the best.
 
So far this is the biggest human genocide on history, the number are rocketing through the blue sky of statistic, overlapping the inquisition, pass Hitler, pass the record from Aztec, Maya and the Incas, and yet, its happen this day. But no one ever realize and believe. And yet we still noise about dolphin being killed in japan, when there are human being slaugther in every place in the world, and we dont realize.

What is this Chido?

I agree totally. That is the thing with many Americans (or shall I call them our demi-Gods?) They kill, invade, slaughter, but never mind any of that. Worry about whales, and dolphins, and keep thinking about WWII. After all, everything THEY do is in the name of democracy and freedom, isn't it? So all is well.

They complain about Japan, they complain about China, and very soon, about India I have no doubt. They need that "common enemy" and if there is none, then just perhaps more Americans will start to complain about their declining standards of living.

Thankfully, not all Americans are like them. Many of my friends here know the deal and a few of them are already making it to the door (like I will). They know the country is becoming a ********, and are not afraid to say it.

But it doesn't have to be this way. If an administration would come into power that would learn to keep their troops at home, provde a real health care bill (not some over expensive bill that will do little or nothing), real immigration reform, and to overhaul the infrastructure, then America can halt it's decline. But far be it for anyone to tell them how to run their glorious country. Never mind they are good at pointing fingers at everyone else.

They way things are going, China will eat them for lunch.

Contradictory much?

No, not at all. Because the new health care bill will use so much money to provide so little reform.

Yes, its like they seeing an ant that swimming on the far ocean, but an elephant that stand infront of them they fail to notice it.

But how can we fail to notice an elephant that stand infront of us? if not we pretend not seeing it, or we close our eyes dont want to know it. Because the truth will bring them discomfort, its also againts what they believe and being told. In the movie, in school, in the environment.

Saying truth, when other saying flasehood, its need a wits. Unpopular, suffering a stigma, its not something as cool as che guevara poster. We only be able to do that if we already have the ability to said, "i love the truth more then anything else". Because truth, is not pleasent thing to carries. We need to sacrifies thing to gather this, and truth are more precious then 3 time what the world offer to us. Believe me.



It better if they send their child backhome, their goverment only send them to be bullet target and being criminal by killing person who have no fault and done no wrong to them, except, burning the 90 percent of the poppies because they thought its Haram.
 

I think this is a dangerous position to hold; an "us vs. them" mentality. There is no "they" or "them", only individuals like you with different opinions, personalities, lives, etc. Sometimes people agree on many things, sometimes people agree on only a few things and sometimes they agree on nothing but that doesn't change the fact that they are different people. There isn't some ominous anthropomorphic being named "Them" out there killing and invading people.

Generalizing people into groups like that is very convenient for finger pointing but reality is rarely that easy or simple. Instead of pointing the finger at some fictional group you have created in your mind why not point the finger at those very real beliefs?
 

What I am simply doing is making an observation about your statistics. I am open to all facts and sources of info, however, what I was pointing out is the validity of the numbers you have posted is questionable. The discourse surrounding the numbers tries to force the reader to draw conclusions about statistics that are incapable of proving a causal relationship. Ok just a quick example.. the article talks about "the passive murder of infants between 1990 and 2008 that is apparently all due to US occupation" well here is problem with that conclusion. According to UNICEF the under 5 mortality rate in Iraq was 53 in 1990, and in 2008 it is 44. So that year, if the cause of all those children under 5 dying in 2008 was US presence.. then why in 1990 was the death rate higher? How is that US occupation's fault? keep in mind the US did not invade until 1991. Example number 2, Afghanistan. in 1990 the children under 5 mortality rate was 260... in 2008 it was 257. That is not much of a change, but what exactly has been the cause of the child mortality all along? does it really make sense to blame something like under 5 child mortality solely on US occupation presence? I really could go on and on, but what I said before summed up how I saw the information presented to me.

Anyhow, a reasonable person would say there are lots of causes for child mortality in various countries (and poverty is probably a big one), saying its all the US's fault is quite far-fetched. I am not here to defend the US government etc either, like it has never done anything wrong, but i will point out inconsistencies in things people bring up. Do I think the US is at fault for some of the worlds woes? Yes. Is it as huge as you are making it out to be? No, I don't believe so, and I have yet to see any statistics/facts that help to add validity to the assertions you are trying to make, or as you are calling it "the biggest genocide in human history.."

The US, and other first world countries are just piece of a very complex puzzle. Have they done bad things, and made mistakes? Of course. Is everything that is wrong with the world their fault.? Certainly not.

New College Graduates

The number of new Japanese college graudates finding suitable jobs is down to 57.6 percent.

http://www.japantoday.com/category/...f-university-students-secure-jobs-as-of-oct-1

This is terrible! But it is vastly better than the figure in the US, 19-22%. And Japanese grads can always opt for (gad!) temp jobs and jobs in convenient stores. For US grads, even such jobs are hard to find.

http://www.thenewstribune.com/2010/06/12/1223496/lots-of-challenges-for-this-years.html

Many of my friends here who have college-age children are already worrying about how to pay back the student loans. Their children rarely find work after graduation, and are lucky to get jobs as waiters or other temp positions. The banks and other financial institutions know that it is hard to get a job, so many if not all of them require the a co-signer for the student loans.
 

List of U.S. states and territories by unemployment rate - Wikipedia

Let me guess. You live in California?

Unemployment appears to be down or unchanged in most states. And obviously shown by the map, it really all depends where you live. Have you forgotten how big America is?

And looking at this,http://www.data360.org/dsg.aspx?Data_Set_Group_Id=248 unemployment as a whole has not rise over 10 percent in over a year now. And has held fairly steady, not that it is great or anything, but no signs of getting any worse for a while now... hmm....
 

Actually I live in New York and have clients in New Jersey and this is the state of affairs in our region. It is very hard here to find work. And if unemployment were "down" in most states we would know it.
You stated that the unemployment rate is "steady" at 10 percent, but if you read the links I add from time to time as well as the information from other contributors you will realize that this number is totally "massaged" to show that things are stable or improving. It all boils down to believing the information given to you by the government, or listening to and looking at the common man/woman in the street.

I am again giving you the links for you rinformation.

A quik quote from the September 2010 issue:
Consider that the recipients of long-term unemployment compensation are only likely to be counted as "unemployed" so long as their payments continue. As soon as their eligibility for unemployment compensation expires, they magically disappear from the ranks of the unemployed. Why? Not because they find jobs. To the contrary. They are dropped from the labor force entirely. One of the most important statistical gimmicks (read "official lies") for disguising unemployment is for the government to drop millions of persons without jobs from the officially defined "labor force."

There has been an extraordinary fall-off in the employment-to-population ratio (EPOP) because Obama's minions find it harder to fake overall population numbers. They can arbitrarily play games to suggest that those without jobs should not be counted in the labor force. But it is more difficult to fudge census numbers and arbitrarily reduce the population to make the employment picture seem better than it is.
In the past decade, the graciously defined "civilian non-institutional population" of the United States has risen from about 211 million in 2000 to about 238 million today.

One of Obama's clever ways of reducing unemployment has been to persistently lower the Civilian Labor Force Participation Rate. After averaging around 66.5% for the past 20 years, it has plunged in the past 18 months. In spite of population growth, the U.S. Civilian Labor Force fell in August from a year earlier, as 2,231,000 Americans were arbitrarily subtracted from the "labor force" with the stroke of a bureaucratic pen.

Some quick quotes from the October 2010 issue:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has engaged in straightforward statistical fraud under Obama
(and Bush preceding him), making the U.S. government the world's biggest fabricator of economic fibs since the fall of the Soviet Union. The recent administrations have played as fast and loose with economic statistics as they did with money. They lie remorselessly, with some of the biggest lies reserved for unemployment figures.

Among Obama's and Bush's ploys for reducing the headline unemployment rate has been to persistently lower reported Civilian Labor Force Participation. After peaking in January of 2000 at 67.3%, the rate has plunged over the last eight years to where it is today– 64.7%. In spite of population growth, the U.S. Civilian Labor Force fell in September from a year earlier, as 1,762,000 Americans were arbitrarily subtracted, following a reduction of 2,231,000 in August.

John Williams of Shadow Government Statistics has provided a long-running commentary detailing the various tricks and frauds employed by the government to reduce the headline unemployment rate. To recount all these frauds here would be tedious and turn this into an essay on the further reaches of accounting, as they entail some truly Byzantine statistical manipulation. Yet, to some extent, the BLS actually "comes clean" about these over-statements by releasing various "revisions" that adjust employment down after the numbers are too stale to attract attention.

Here are Williams's comments on the revisions released October 8 with the September Jobs report: "An early estimate for the 2010 benchmark revision... indicated the not-seasonally-adjusted March 2010 payrolls were overstated by 366,000. As the data are re-worked for that estimate, changes will be carried back to the prior revision as of March 2009, as well as carried forward to present reporting. Such suggests that the overstatement of the level of payrolls as of September 2010 reporting is about 550,000 jobs. The formal benchmark revision and restated economic history will be published with the January 2011 employment report, due for release on February 4, 2011."
 
AFPWhile America's super-rich congratulate themselves on donating billions to charity, the rest of the country is worse off than ever. Long-term unemployment is rising and millions of Americans are struggling to survive. The gap between rich and poor is wider than ever and the middle class is disappearing.

Taking down America
By Alfred W McCoy

A soft landing for America 40 years from now? Don't bet on it. The demise of the United States as the global superpower could come far more quickly than anyone imagines. If Washington is dreaming of 2040 or 2050 as the end of the American Century, a more realistic assessment of domestic and global trends suggests that in 2025, just 15 years from now, it could all be over except for the shouting.

Hsakakibara1.... havent' you fled America yet? I read this entire post and all you do is spread gloom and doom and talk about moving to some other country.... do it already so someone else can have your job.

QUICKLY now before the world ends in a pesimistic fire storm! Maybe you can move to Indonesia?
 

Yeah, he has been talking about leaving America for like 2 years now.....
 
And yet he is still here? I mean wasn't the US supposed to implode by now? Or maybe no other country will allow him to immigrate... Maybe he could go to Mexico! I hear the border is pretty much open.
 
Oh, I hope to be out of this dump by the end of March 2011! I would have been out of here earlier but I needed to sell my condo that I bought with a loan, but as I am NOT an American it is not easy. Why? Because if I were I would have no regret in just putting the keys in an envelope, mailing them to the bank, and that would be the end of that. Instead I chose to do things the right way. I should have done them the American way, and just shirked off all responsibility. Silly me!

And as for the articles, I plan to keep posting them so if you don't like them then don't bloody read them! Please, please keep your heads stuck in the sand with your rah rah, US is No. 1, more ham and grits attitudes! I implore you, if you are not already in the US go there. Put your money where your mouths are! As for me, I am already in the advanced stages of leaving.

It's interesting that all I am doing is posting links for articles and that riles you people. If I was an American or living in America (for good) I would take what these articles say very seriously.
