Consistent with the previous discussion, let's say someone from the US or Japanese government reads the above post and determines that it is necessary to stop a possible overthrow of the Japanese government. In other words, that they see this vague pattern being proposed by some crackpot on the Internet and believe it can happen for real. Can they stop it? Maybe temporarily, but I believe that no matter what they do, it can only make things worse in the long run.

Abenomics may have temporarily held off an economic crash, but it seems likely to me that when the crash comes, as it appears it is going to anyway, that it will come with other unpleasant surprises that would not have been seen if the crash were allowed to occur sooner and Japan had been in better shape going into the crash than it is now.

As for crack pots we have a full planet already with these cat herder nut cases anyways. I clearly understand better the FDR travail and the mid to late trade issues with the orient and tariff issues we understand clearly here as trade reporocity. As he warned us no accidents in politics.......
Also as you know this period is not unexpected at all as ISBN-10: 9781591845560 explained clearly. The reference signal was for my book tonight on expires after market and we watch many other things people omit. They will print and buy assets here until taxpayers are even lower chattel than they already are and I am not talking about FRN notes. They are barely no man status as taxpayers. I still remember that grin on Roberts also. To be honest I considered china would go first with the internals as a billion with no water to drink or soil to plant in. I remember your 18 month after the event window also. Given the lack of news on our calendar I considered march prime for numerous items IMO.

Welcome to HFT market trade reciprocity's
Notes: Monday, Oct. 07, 1985
In 1932, with international trade in collapse, Franklin Roosevelt denounced Smoot-Hawley as ruinous. Hoover responded that Roosevelt would have Americans compete with "peasant and sweated labor" abroad. Then, as now, protectionism had a strong if superficial political appeal: by election eve, F.D.R. had backed down, assuring voters that he understood the need for tariffs. Protectionist politicking, however, could not save the Republicans in 1932. Smoot and Hawley joined Hoover in defeat. The Democrats dismantled the G.O.P.'s legislative handiwork with caution, using reciprocal trade agreements rather than across-the-board tariff reductions. The Smoot-Hawley approach was discredited. Sam Rayburn, House Democratic Speaker from 1940 until 1961, insisted that any party member who wanted to serve on the Ways and Means Committee had to support reciprocity, not protectionism.

I believe the reason that worked was there was rebuilding that took place in post 1871, 1906, etc. With no rebuilding taking place in Japan and only an attempt to paper it over, they pushed off the crash but have not put the infrastructure back in place. Now we are near 18 months times 2.

I considered the 18 month the net effect of what we are seeing from the two references to what trust we bias our selfs in. That was my error
not framing it correctly...

TEPCO Hid Record Fukushima Radiation Levels Before Olympics Bid

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-1 ... ympics-bid


"Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) is again in the midst of controversy for failing to timely report on record radiation levels at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. It is now blasted for holding back strontium measurements since September.

TEPCO on Wednesday revealed that it detected 5 million becquerels per liter of radioactive Strontium-90 in a groundwater sample taken some 25 meters from the ocean as early as last September, Reuters reports. The legal limit for releasing strontium into the ocean is just 30 becquerels per liter.

Although the reading was alarmingly five times the levels taken at the same spot two months prior to that, TEPCO decided not to immediately report it to the country’s nuclear watchdog. That is despite Strontium-90 being considered twice as harmful to people as Cesium-137"

Now the US should not be so cocky about their nuclear plants --from an old article --FirstEnergy is slapped with $5.45M fine.
"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission yesterday proposed a record $5.45 million fine against FirstEnergy Corp. for allowing Davis-Besse's old nuclear reactor head to get so corroded that it nearly burst in 2002." --article has a nice picture of a rusting reactor head.

There are how many reactors in the world? ( over 400 and over 70 under construction )They can pollute how much land, water, and air? for how long? do people see a problem?

Add to this, all of the chemical waste and other land, water, and air degradation and what do we have?

This reminds me of the comment made by the alien interviewed in "The Alien Interview" who said to US interrogators that humanity is on track to destroy the planet. hmmmmmm

I would like to find a copy of this article in the Wall Street Journal on the morning of the 1987 crash but have not been able to so far. Anyone that can help? Or can someone make a graph showing the similarity between the 1929 and 1987 run ups? In some sense I think things are primed for a crash and anything could set it off. It would be sort of funny if the thing that set it off was just a prediction of a crash.

"The Wall Street Journal, on the morning of 1987, ran a plot showing the Dow in the 1980s and, just below it, a plot showing the Dow in the 1920s up to and for a month after the crash of 1929. The two plots were aligned so that the current date lined up with the date of the 1929 crash, and so the plot suggested that the crash of 1929 might be about to repeat itself. Investors had the opportunity to see this plot at breakfast a matter of minutes before the crash of 1987 actually started. The Journal was openly suggesting the possibility of a crash starting that day. True, this was not a front-page story, and no one story by itself is decisive in causing a crash. But this little story, and the accompanying plot, appearing as they did on the morning of the crash, probably did help prime investors to be more alert to suggestions of a crash."

It would be interesting to see how the last 5 years compares to part of the 1929 run up (not necessarily 5 years).
