Depressions can go for hundreds of years. Escaping them usually involves either major wars or killing most of the ruling elites. Why do they love depressions? Easy: they get richer and richer the more money is restricted and wages and prices drop! Anyone with $100 is richer and richer during a depression while people with a plugged nickle starve to death. Japan has this absurd depression which is getting worse and worse while it makes the ruling elites richer and richer! So it never ends! For the first 10 years, voters believed the rulers. Now, they are obviously very irritated with the rulers and for good reason! Off with them! They are criminals!
The ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) suffered a heavy defeat in Sunday's House of Councillors election, official announcements and Mainichi exit polls have suggested -- a defeat worse than that which led to the 1998 resignation of then Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto.As a result, the opposition Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) has become the largest bloc in the chamber, ousting the LDP from the top spot for the first time since its founding in 1955, and leading the opposition parties to a majority in the Upper House.
Ha-ha-ha! Serves them right! A stunning defeat for the 'depression' party and a great victory for sanity! I saw all sorts of explanations for this sudden collapse of the CIA-LDP but my own analysis is closer to the truth; the people of Japan are sick and tired of their stupid depression. They ask, quite reasonably, why are they alone, depressed, while the rest of the world had this roaring expansion while Japan sat on its duff... while the exporter companies of Japan made the biggest profits of the entire planet earth! Incredible.
Exports grew just as fast as the world economy grew. The money flowing into the private bank accounts of the guys running the corporations making so much loot in exports was fabulous. No one made out better than they! No one! But the wages and lives of workers in Japan collapsed and instead of improving, got worse and worse and worse! The Bank of Japan stole the life savings of millions of workers and gave it gratis to the industrialists! They go FREE FUCKING LOANS for FIFTEEN YEARS. This is amazing. Astonishing.
It is a crime. And I hope the entire CIA-infested traitors of the LDP go to prison some day. The destruction of the entire Japanese people can be traced directly to their plan to hand over all worldly goods to the USA so the USA would give back to the industrialists who no longer hire Japanese, give them the money back, redoubled. Japan is about to have another round of destructive wage collapses thanks to the US economy going into the hole thanks to the collapse of our own housing industry which is our last, great 'industry' now that we sent all our industrial strength to Mexico and China, to get rid of oil inflation.
Top Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) member Toranosuke Katayama lost his seat in Sunday's House of Councillors election.Katayama, 71, secretary-general of the General Assembly of Upper House LDP Members, was beaten by Yumiko Himei, 48, fielded by the opposition Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) in the Okayama single-seat constituency.
Thanks to pork, big shot party bosses can live forever in office. It takes a tsunami of rage to get rid of these leeches. And so this news is proof, the LDP, when it decided to raise the sales tax to punish workers and to eliminate any possible pay raises and thus, enforce the artifical depression they created themselves, well---DOWN THE HATCH! Hahaha. Bless the voters. May they dance on his grave.
Monday, July 30, 2007 6:01 a.m. (JST)Abe Vows To Stay On; Aims To Revamp Cabinet, Party Leadership
TOKYO (Nikkei)--Prime Minister Shinzo Abe pledged Sunday to stay on despite the crushing defeat his party suffered in that day's upper house election, stressing that his job is to continue pursuing reforms.
***************************************LDP Suffers Major Defeat, DPJ Set To Take Charge Of Upper House
TOKYO (Nikkei)--The ruling Liberal Democratic Party suffered a devastating defeat in Sunday's upper house election, ceding control of the chamber to the opposition camp led by the Democratic Party of Japan, which won at least 60 seats against the LDP's less than 40.
****************************************OPINION: Is Election Start Of New Chapter Or Just Same Old Story?
TOKYO (Nikkei)--Voters handed a humiliating defeat to the government led by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Sunday's upper house election. The public, which overwhelmingly supported Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and his postal reform in the lower house election in 2005, made it clear that they are not happy with his successor's policy management.
***************************************DPJ Win May Cause Tax, Pension, Farm Issues To Stall In Diet
TOKYO (Nikkei)--The ruling coalition's resounding defeat in Sunday's upper house election has sparked concerns that economic and fiscal policies may stall now that the main opposition Democratic Party of Japan has become the largest force in the chamber.
*****************************************
The Nikkei is the 'ruling elites' own news service. Like the Wall Street Journal, they can't see a wall until they hit it full tilt. One wall in particular, they are blind and unable to see at all, is worker rage. Always, this takes them totally by surprise! If they think this is 'The same old story' they are insane. Either the upstart party makes life hell for the industrial owners and their pets or they, too, will be ditched and people will resort to the real voting booth: on one's feet, in the street! The US, thanks to being allowed to eat 25% of the world's output while only 3% of the population, is fat and happy, sort of.
But in Japan, they are unhappy. They are the #2 economy with the #1 weak currency and they are #1 in world export profits but the Chinese are passing by them, rapidly, living in better housing in the cities, driving more and more cars while in Japan, car sales have been flat and are now declining, the Japanese will soon be dragging around rickshaws while the Chinese leave them in the dust!
New Party Nippon officially let go of its only two lawmaker members Thursday, thereby losing access to government subsidies available to a political party.House of Councilors member Hiroyuki Araki and House of Representatives member Makoto Taki said their views differ from those of party chief Yasuo Tanaka over the party's platform announced in June ahead of Sunday's Upper House election.
The far right wing parties have no solution to the depression so they are dropping like flies. In the US, we had an election which featured truly frustrated voters. The DNC thought they voted for DNC middle of the road policies but the voters want Bush and Cheney arrested and charged with treason! And this, in a 'good' economy! Next year, the lynching mob will be out in full force.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson arrived here on Sunday afternoon, kicking off a four-day visit to China.
*snip*
As special representative of the U.S. President, Paulson would visit China from July 29 to Aug. 1 to exchange views on the process of the U.S.-China Strategic Economic Dialogue, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao announced on Thursday.
Japan's rulers thought they could ignore China. They thought they could use the US to control China. They thought that if they and the US build all their manufacturing plants in China, they both could defy workers at home, reduce wages of workers at home, crush the workers at home. And thus, they created the Godzilla of their nightmares: Communist China, triumphant! The Chinese workers get pay raises. The Chinese worker's yuan get stronger and stronger and buys more and more. And the Japanese worker's pay gets smaller and smaller and the American worker is worse and worse off. Chinese auto workers are getting richer while American and Japanese auto workers are getting poorer and poorer.
And this goofy trade scheme whereby the US and Japan have the world's crappiest currencies and the most oppressed workers will end one fine day when the richer Chinese begin to farm out their business to where workers are cheap and crushed to death! Here and in Japan.
I hope the new party taking over Japan changes course. Time is running out.
