保守思想 Conservatism日本で保守思想を考えたい 人種差別は差別をやめる事から始まるMilton Feedmanがテレビで素晴らしいインタビューを：
Mike Wallace: Black history month you find ridiculous. Why?
Morgan Freeman: You’re going to relegate my history to a month? Mike Wallace: Oh, c’mon. Morgan Freeman: What do you do with yours? Which month is white history month? Well, c’mon, tell me. Mike Wallace: I’m Jewish. Morgan Freeman: OK, which month is Jewish history month? Mike Wallace: There isn’t one. Morgan Freeman: Oh, oh. Why not? Do you want one? Mike Wallace:No. Morgan Freeman: No, I don’t either. I don’t want a black history month. Black history is American history. Mike Wallace: How we gonna get rid of racism until… Morgan Freeman: Stop talking about it. I’m going to stop calling you a white man. And I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freeman. リベラルMike Wallaceにはあまりにも痛烈だったようですね。
MikeRossTky ホッキョクグマと地球温暖化ホッキョクグマが絶滅する・・・ このようなニュースは沢山読めます。

ではほんとはどうなのか？
Apparently so, because there are in fact more polar bears in the world
now than there were 40 years ago, as the nearby chart shows. The main threat to polar bears in recent decades has been from hunting, with estimates as low as 5,000 to 10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. But thanks to conservation efforts, and some cross-border cooperation among the U.S., Canada and Russia, the best estimate today is that the polar bear population is 20,000 to 25,000. 表にすると：
 1950年代と現時点と比べると4-5倍の数のホッキョクグマが生息している。温暖化で絶滅するとされるホッキョクグマがこの50年でこんなに増えた！
ではなぜ、絶滅種として扱うのかアメリカ内務省のスポークスマンに聞くと：http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=416709
However, when we called Interior spokesman Hugh Vickery for some elaboration, he
was a lot less categorical, even a tad defensive. The "endangered" designation is based less on the actual number of bears in Alaska than on "projections into the future," Mr. Vickery said, adding that these "projection models" are "tricky business." もしかしたら、ホッキョクグマが今後減るかもしれないから、危急種に指定・・・
ちなみに1959年潜水艦が北極点で浮上した写真がこれ：
 USS Skate heads north on another epic cruise into the strange underseas realm first opened up by our nuclear submarines. Last year, the Skate and her sister-sub Nautilus both cruised under the Arctic ice to the Pole. Then, conditions were most favorable. The Skate’s job is to see if it can be done when the Arctic winter is at its worst, with high winds pushing the floes into motion and the ice as thick as twenty-five feet. Ten times she is able to surface. Once, at the North Pole, where crewmen performed a mission of sentiment, scattering the ashes of polar explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins. In 1931, he was the first to attempt a submarine cruise to the Pole. Now, the Skate’s twelve-day three thousand mile voyage under the ice, shown in Defense Department films, demonstrates that missile-carrying nuclear subs could lurk under the Polar Ice Cap, safe from attack, to emerge at will, and fire off H-bomb missiles to any target on Earth. そして、1962年の写真がこれ：
 そして1987年の有名な写真がこれ：
 北極点が解けて無くなる事は最近の現象ではないようですね。ではホッキョクグマの数と北極で氷が解ける関係はあるの？

カナダに本社を移転アメリカの高い法人税を逃れる為、カナダに本社を移転する会社が出てきている：http://www.canada.com/Business/Hortons+move+signals+Canada+gaining+appeal/1744591/story.html
In a clear indication that Canada is starting to be considered a low-tax place to do business, Tim Hortons Inc. announced Monday plans to shift its base of operations from Delaware to Canada for tax purposes.
違いはどれくらい？
In Canada, the federal corporate tax rate is headed to 15% in 2012, and the federal Conservative government has called on the provinces to get to a 10% business levy by the same timeframe – for a combined 25% rate on corporate income. Alberta is already at 10%, British Columbia will be there in 2011, Ontario by 2013, and New Brunswick will go down further, to 8%, in 2012. In the United States, the top corporate tax rate is in the mid-30% range. As a result, the U.S. now has about the highest combined corporate tax rate, second only to Japan among industrialized countries. アメリカでは３０％以上を支払う。カナダでは25％。New Brunswickでは２３％。でも単純に法人税率だけでは無い： Finally, there is the current White House proposal to remove the incentives for U.S. companies to invest overseas, and curb the use of offshore jurisdictions by companies and investors. “If the U.S. tightens up on the tax treatment on foreign income, many Canadian companies — as well as other foreign entities operating in the U.S. – might look to put headquarters and holding company functions in Canada since dividends from foreign affiliates are not taxed by Canada,” said Jack Mintz, a public policy expert from the University of Calgary and a renowned tax expert. オバマ政権は海外で得た利益に対しても、高い法人税の対象にすると発表している。海外で税金を払った後、アメリカでも税金を払うとなると、海外進出を行う利点が無くなる。これは労組からのプレッシャーからだろう。しかし、結果として、本社の脱アメリカが始まる。
税率を上げれば、その税率に関わる活動は減る。法人に税金をかければ、法人が減る。すでにカリフォルニアから税金を逃れるため、沢山の会社が他の州に逃げている。次は、アメリカからカナダに？
日本の法人税はアメリカより高い。アジアのビジネスがなぜ日本中心で行われないのかは明らかだ。日本の雇用を考えるのなら、法人税の減税は絶対だ。

ドイツ・ハンガリー減税を！ドイツとハンガリーが減税で不況を乗り切り、他の国との差を出すと。
Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, cast aside her image as European champion of fiscal discipline on Monday as she launched her re-election bid with a manifesto calling for higher public investments and €15bn in tax cuts over four years. “The question is: How can we ensure Germany emerges stronger once the crisis is over and the cards have been reshuffled in the world,” she told delegates of her Christian Democratic Union gathered in Berlin to endorse the manifesto. “The answer is we need growth.” 減税＝経済成長！！ 歳出減＝経済成長！！ リベラルの方々が一番嫌いなコンビネーションでドイツの首相は再選に挑むようだ。 WSJでもドイツの政策を取り上げている：http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124631002610270209.html Lower incomes taxes would "provide motivation" and encourage economic growth, Ms. Merkel told a conference of her party, the Christian Democratic Union, and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union. "It would be wrong not to do what is right and necessary for growth, and so prevent ourselves emerging quickly from this crisis," Ms. Merkel said in her conference speech. The conservative parties' election platform promises tax cuts worth €15 billion ($21 billion), but gives no time frame. The parties plan to cut the lowest income tax rate to 12% from 14% at present, raise the threshold for paying the top income tax rate of 42%, and reduce the degree to which a rising income leads to a progressively higher tax rate. ドイツだけではない：http://www.reuters.com/article/bondsNews/idUSLT24516720090629 Hungary's minority Socialist government passed a crucial test on Monday when parliament approved key 2010 tax changes to help the country recover from its worst recession in almost two decades. The passing of the law averts the risk of early elections. Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai had said he would stay in his post as long as the Socialists and the Free Democrats support his programme, which is also the backbone of Hungary's financing deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The tax law, which will cut personal income taxes and social contributions paid by employers to the government, was passed with 211 votes and 152 votes against, with backing from the Socialists' former coalition allies, the Free Democrats. Bajnai's government, which took office in April, has cut spending and kept the budget deficit in check. This has helped the forint to firm from all-time lows hit versus the euro in March, and helped rebuild some investor trust in Hungary. ハンガリーへの投資が減税で増えている。経済立て直し＝減税だ！ でもこんな事しているとオバマ氏から変な眼で見られるよ。
怖い、怖い！ MikeRossTky June 29 ホンジュラス：クーデターではない！ホンジュラスでのクーデター。これはクーデターだったのか？ Yahooからのニュースを見ると：http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20090629-00000570-san-int ホンジュラスで起きたセラヤ大統領の国外追放劇は、予期しない光景をも生み出した。オバマ米大統領と、反米強硬派で鳴らすベネズエラのチャベス大統領が、クーデター非難で声をそろえたのだ。中米では冷戦後初めてとなる今回のクーデターは、オバマ米政権誕生を触媒にした急激なラテンアメリカ政治の構造変化も浮き彫りにしている。 「深く憂慮している」。対話による平和的な解決を呼びかける声明を即日発表するなど、オバマ大統領の対応は素早かった。米国務省高官は、「セラヤ氏が唯一の正当な大統領だ」と述べるなど、米国の求める問題解決の道はセラヤ氏復帰であることを明言した。 もともとは中道右派として大統領に当選したセラヤ氏は、２００６年１月の就任後、急激に左寄りにカジを切り、ベネズエラやキューバが主導する中南米の反米左派陣営の一角を占めるようになった。 しかし、WSJの記事を読むと：http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124619401378065339.html Honduras's Supreme Court gave the order for the military to detain the president, according to a former Supreme Court official who is in touch with the court. Later, Honduras's Congress formally removed Mr. Zelaya from the presidency and named congressional leader Roberto Micheletti as his successor until the end of Mr. Zelaya's term in January. Mr. Micheletti and others said they were the defenders, not opponents, of democratic rule. ギャップがある。このクーデターは司法が軍に要請して大統領を追放したようだ。WSJだけではない: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/centralamericaandthecaribbean/honduras/5677026/Honduras-supreme-court-ordered-army-coup.html "Today's events originate from a court order by a competent judge. The armed forces, in charge of supporting the constitution, acted to defend the state of law and have been forced to apply legal dispositions against those who have expressed themselves publicly and acted against the dispositions of the basic law," the country's highest court said. では国内ではクーデター以前になにが起こっていたのか？Telegraphの記事より： Political tensions have risen sharply in recent days ahead of today's planned referendum. The vote was scheduled to determine if Mr Zelaya would be allowed to stand for re-election, but it was opposed by the army, which refused to distribute ballot boxes. Mr Zelaya as a result sacked General Romeo Vasquez, the head of the armed forces, and also accepted the resignation of Edmundo Orellana, the defence minister. The heads of the army, marines and air force also resigned. The Supreme Court declared the referendum illegal, but Mr Zelaya decided to go ahead. Zelaya大統領は任期制限で次の選挙では出馬することができな。しかし、今回国民投票を使って次の選挙に出ようとした。しかし、ホンジュラスの憲法では議会の三分の二が同意しない限り、憲法は変えられない。 ホンジュラスの憲法より：http://countrystudies.us/honduras/84.htm Title VII, with two chapters, outlines the process of amending the constitution and sets forth the principle of constitutional inviolability. The constitution may be amended by the National Congress after a two-thirds vote of all its members in two consecutive regular annual sessions. However, several constitutional provisions may not be amended. These consist of the amendment process itself, as well as provisions covering the form of government, national territory, and several articles covering the presidency, including term of office and prohibition from reelection. 軍はこの違法な選挙を止める為に司法が要望した行動に出たのだ。無理やり、自分の政治生命を延長しようとした政治家を司法と軍が止めたわけだ。その政治家がチャベスとぐるなのだ。 ではなぜ、オバマ氏やチャベス氏は憲法を守らない大統領をサポートするのだろう？ 民主主義を守るのが大事なのか？それともチャベスがコントロールする南米の体制と対抗する事を拒むのか？ これが”Hope and Change”なの？ MikeRossTky June 28 リベラルメディア・リベラル大学 性犯罪の扱いリベラルメディアとリベラル大学は性的犯罪に過剰に反応した。
2006年4月、Duke大学で白人のラクロスクラブ所属の生徒数人が、黒人の女性を強姦したとして逮捕された。この事件の真相が出る前に大学の先生88人がこの生徒達が行った行為に対して怒りを表し、退学を要求する手紙を書き、新聞に広告としてだした。詳細は：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responses_to_the_2006_Duke_University_lacrosse_case
2006年12月にはDNA調査が行われ、白人生徒のDNAが強姦された女性から検出されていなかった事が判明した。
停学処分、ラクロスクラブの監督が辞任に追い込まれるなど、大きな波紋が起きた事件だった。88人の大学の先生の内、公に誤ったのは1人。
ではなぜこの事をブログに？
今月明らかになった性的犯罪にはリベラルメディアはすべての情報を明るみに出さないし、大学の先生たちは無言だ。まずAPの記事を読んでください：
A Duke University official has been arrested and charged with offering his adopted 5-year-old son for sex. Frank Lombard, the school's associate director of the Center for Health Policy, was arrested after an Internet sting, according to the FBI's Washington field office and the city's police department. According to an affidavit by District of Columbia Police Det. Timothy Palchak, an unnamed informant facing charges in his own child sex case led authorities to Lombard. Authorities said that Lombard tried to persuade a person -- who he did not know was a police officer -- to travel to North Carolina to have sex with Lombard's child. The detective's affidavit charges Lombard identified himself online as "perv dad for fun," and says that in an online chat with the detective, Lombard said he had sexually molested his son, whom he adopted as an infant. 他の記事でもFrank Lombardが白人の男である事以外の情報は無い。 しかし・・・ Franck Lombertはゲイだ。 虐待した子供は黒人だ。 上記で紹介したWikiの記事を見ていただければ判るが、犯罪者が白人の男性。被害者が黒人の女性。この二つの要素のみでリベラルなメディアとリベラルな大学は過剰反応を見せた。 犯罪者が白人のゲイ、被害者が黒人の子供の場合はリベラルのシナリオから外れているから全くニュースから重要な情報が取り除かれ、大学の対応も”見守る”となる。同じ大学で性的犯罪が起こって今回の反応はなぜ無に近いのか？CNNの報道はどこ？ABCの報道は？大学の先生の怒りの声は？ 事実の情報はなぜ、リベラルに取って都合が悪いの？ MikeRossTky スウェーデン・スイスでイラン大使館が攻撃されるスウェーデンでは150人ほどがイラン大使館の外に集まった。結果：http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090626/ap_on_re_eu/eu_sweden_iran_embassy
Angry demonstrators broke into the Iranian Embassy outside Stockholm on Friday, climbing in through shattered windows and injuring one embassy worker, police said.
More than 150 people had gathered outside the embassy to protest against the Iranian regime, when some of them attacked the building with rocks and tore down a fence to enter the embassy grounds, police spokesman Ulf Hoglund said.
"A few managed to climb through broken windows into the building," Hoglund said. He said one member of the embassy staff was injured inside the building, but didn't know how seriously.
イラン大使館員は建物の外には出れない状態だ。

オバマ氏はなぜ話し合いを？外交とは現実を無視して、将来の為に話し合いの場を設ける事もある。しかし・・・：http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/24/neda-soltan-iran-family-forced-out
The Iranian authorities have ordered the family of Neda Agha Soltan out of their Tehran home after shocking images of her death were circulated around the world. Neighbours said that her family no longer lives in the four-floor apartment building on Meshkini Street, in eastern Tehran, having been forced to move since she was killed. The police did not hand the body back to her family, her funeral was cancelled, she was buried without letting her family know and the government banned mourning ceremonies at mosques, the neighbours said. Neda Agha Soltanの死はYouTubeによって世界に知らされた。家族は、家から追い出され、彼女の遺体は政府が持ち去り、家族がいない環境でイスラムの葬式が行われ葬られた。
この現状は30年間イラン国内で繰り返されてきた。この記事を読むとそれが良く判る。
オバマ氏は先日、Youtubeで亡くなったNada Agha Soltanについて火曜日の記者会見で："We've experienced the searing image of a woman bleeding to death on the streets."
もし、外交がそれほどまで重要なのであれば、YouTubeにたまたま流れた女性の死など関係ないのでは？30年間続いた悪の環境を維持する政権に手を差し伸べたのはオバマ氏だ。イランから差し伸べてくれと言っていたわけではない。
人権を重んじてきたリベラル外交。これをベネズエラ、イラン、ハマスなどに手を差し伸べる事によって無視するオバマ外交。YouTubeビデオ一本で変わるとはね。
ちなみに、ヒラリー・クリントンはJuly 4にイランの外交官を海外のアメリカ大使館に招待をしていた。これも、中止になったようです。
ため息。

June 25 Obama Careはエリートには適用しないリベラルエリートの顔が出てしまいました！！：http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/HealthCare/story?id=7919991&page=1
Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center, said that elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick, they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it's not provided by insurance.
Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn't seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he's proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.
The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if "it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.
"There's a whole bunch of care that's being provided that every study, that every bit of evidence that we have indicates may not be making us healthier," he said.
エリートリベラルの方々は自分や自分の家族が国が運営する健康保険制度で受けられない治療を制度の外で受けられる事を自分で保障する。庶民には同じようなケアを与える必要はない。
格差を生むのはだれ？ リベラルが産む政府が作る制度だ！
この馬鹿な発言はオバマ政権がABCニュースをホワイトハウス内に招いて行った特別番組の中で・・・ 自分の家族にはなんでも行う。庶民には同等のケアの保障は絶対できない。
アメリカでは一番進んだ医学がある。もし、国が唯一の健康保険を運営して、進んだ治療技術に対してお金が流れなくなれば、アメリカの進んだ医学は衰退する。これがリベラル医療制度の結末だ。

招待した半数以上がこなかった － イラン選挙祝賀会イランの大統領が選挙で勝ったと言う事で祝賀会を行ったが：http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8118139.stm
More than 180 Iranian MPs appear to have snubbed an invitation to celebrate President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's election win, local press reports say.
All 290 MPs were invited to the victory party on Wednesday night, but only 105 turned up, the reports say.
A BBC correspondent says the move is a sign of the deep split at the top of Iran after disputed presidential polls.

MikeRossTky サブプライムローンの再来？？サブプライムローン問題の起点は政治家（リベラル・民主党）がローンをいかにたやすく誰でも取得できるようにするかを追及した結果だ。銀行にプレッシャーをかけ、Fannie MaeやFreddie Macにローンを買わせて証券化して、リスクが低いOTC製品として流通させ、お金を不動産に・・・
その張本人とされるフランク下院議員が：http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124562533240635581.html
In a letter to the chief executives of Fannie and Freddie, Reps. Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat who is chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Anthony Weiner (D., N.Y.) warned that the 70% sales threshold "may be too onerous" and could lead condo buyers to shun new developments. The legislators asked the companies to "make appropriate adjustments" to their underwriting standards for condos.
いま、Freddie Macではコンドミニアム（日本ではマンション）の７０％以上が売れている物件にはローンを提供すると。Fannie MaeがローンをOKすると政府がそのローンの保証人になるので、民間ではローンを組んで、そのローンをFannie Maeに買ってもらい、証券化して資金を・・・
フランク下院議員は７０％を５０．１％に下げろと。民間が手を出したがらない物件に政府が保証するローンを無理やり組ませるというやり方だ。
これはサブプライムローンの再来だよね。
Fannie Maeはこの様な介入は不要だと：
Fannie Mae officials say the new rules haven't been as taxing as some claim. The mortgage company said the 70% rule doesn't apply to loan applications submitted through an underwriting program used by major lenders, and that hundreds of projects submitted through that program since March 1 have been approved even though their sales levels are below 70%. Developers are also able to apply for exemptions to the new policies for loans that are manually underwritten. Both Fannie and Freddie say they are preparing a response to the lawmakers. "In the absence of these changes, Fannie and Freddie would be putting good money after bad and run the risk of further increasing the building epidemic of foreclosures and dysfunctional homeowner associations in Florida and around the country," said Charles Foschini, vice chairman of CB Richard Ellis in South Florida. The FHA requires 51% of units to be sold for developers to secure approval to offer mortgages backed by the government agency, a point the lawmakers made in their letter to Fannie and Freddie. The FHA has considered lowering its threshold, citing concerns that tighter underwriting standards could delay a recovery and pointing to its traditional role to provide stability in volatile housing markets. 政府が市場に介入して、歪みを作り、結果として経済が混乱する。
だめだよね。なんでリベラル政治家は経済を壊したいんだろう？

June 23 オバマ側近：イランでのデモはカイロスピーチが起点だ・・・オバマ氏の側近がイランのデモはカイロでのスピーチが起点だと：http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/22/AR2009062203026_pf.html
Obama's approach to Iran, including his assertion that the unrest there represents a debate among Iranians unrelated to the United States, is an acknowledgment that a U.S. president's words have a limited ability to alter foreign events in real time and could do more harm than good. But privately Obama advisers are crediting his Cairo speech for inspiring the protesters, especially the young ones, who are now posing the most direct challenge to the republic's Islamic authority in its 30-year history. One senior administration official with experience in the Middle East said, "There clearly is in the region a sense of new possibilities," adding that "I was struck in the aftermath of the president's speech that there was a connection. It was very sweeping in terms of its reach." どこからこの様な考えが？オバマ氏のスピーチは問題となった選挙の二週間前。選挙の結果が疑わしい環境だったからデモが始まった。そのデモが始まった後、強くデモに向かった市民をサポートしなかった政治的ダメージをこのような手を使って払拭するのか？ オバマ氏がとった外交手段は正しいと言えただろう。キッシンジャーでさえアメリカの大統領は影にいるべきだとテレビのインタビューで語った。しかし、オバマ大統領は政府が暴力・武力を使ってもなにも言わなかった。これは外交的には行き過ぎていた。そして、デモが始まって国内での批判が増えてくると側近が”オバマ氏のスピーチが革命を引き起こした”などと・・・ 20％以上の失業率。高いインフレ。人口の５０％が30歳以下。民主化のくすぶりはオバマ氏が大統領の選挙に挑む前からあったことは明らかだ。 情けないな。ダメージコントロールか。 オバマ氏のサポート率は世論調査では下降線を。 MikeRossTky 久しぶりに太陽に黒点が！！

MikeRossTky June 22 温暖化：不都合な三つの質問* Is it the case that CO2 increased by 5percent since 1998 while global temperature cooled during the same period? If so, why did the temperature not increase, and how can human emissions be to blame for dangerous levels of warming? 二酸化炭素の排出量は1998年より５％増えている。しかし、同じ期間の間、平均気温は下がっている。これが正しいのであれば、なぜ、温暖化が進まなかったのか？なぜ、人間が関与するとされる温暖化なのか？ * Is it the case that the rate and magnitude of warming between 1979 and 1998 (the late 20th-century phase of global warming) were not unusual as compared with warmings that have occurred earlier in the Earth's history? If the warming was not unusual, why is it perceived to have been caused by human CO2 emissions and, in any event, why is warming a problem if the Earth has experienced similar warmings in the past? 1979年から1998年の間起きた温暖化を地球の歴史で記録されている温暖化と比べ、異常ではないかと結論づけられないか？もし、異常ではないとするなら、この期間に記録された温暖化が二酸化炭素によるものだとすると、これ以前記録された同等な温暖化はなぜ問題視されないのか？ * Is it the case that all computer models projected a steady increase in temperature for the period 1990 to 2008, whereas in fact there were only eight years of warming followed by 10years of stasis and cooling? If so, why is it assumed that long-term climate projections by the same models are suitable as a basis for public policy-making? これまで使ってこられた温暖化モデルでは1990年から2008年の期間、一律気温が上昇するとされたが、実際にはこの10年間、温暖化は記録されていない。なのに、今後も温暖化が進むとするモデルを使って政治的判断を行っても良いのか？ 温暖化論者でこの質問に答えられる方はおられますか？ MikeRossTky JibJab:オバマ風刺ビデオブッシュ大統領を風刺したビデオで有名となったJibJabよろオバマ氏風刺ビデオが：

MikeRossTky 2009年上期：ゴールドマンを含む証券会社、記録的利益ゴールドマンを含む証券会社が記録的ボーナスを支給するらしい。記録的な利益がこのボーナスを支えている：http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/jun/21/goldman-sachs-bonus-payments
Staff at Goldman Sachs staff can look forward to the biggest bonus payouts in the firm's 140-year history after a spectacular first half of the year, sparking concern that the big investment banks which survived the credit crunch will derail financial regulation reforms.
A lack of competition and a surge in revenues from trading foreign currency, bonds and fixed-income products has sent profits at Goldman Sachs soaring, according to insiders at the firm.
ゴールドマンだけではない：
Barclays Capital, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank are among the European firms expected to register bumper profits, along with US banks JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley following the near collapse and government rescue of major trading houses including Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, UBS and Royal Bank of Scotland.
全体的にこのセクターでの利益は１６０Billionポンド。2006年の１８６Billionポンドには及んでいないが、会社数が減っているだけに、トップの会社にころがってきたわけだ。ボーナスの出し方は改善されているようだが、大量の利益を生んだことには変わらない。投資家で儲かったのがWarren Buffett氏。1月に５Billionポンド入れたのが、すでに１Billionポンドの利益が！ すごい！！
さて、この利益を生んでいる要因の一つが、アメリカ政府が新発行している国債だ：
"These banks are intermediaries in the bond markets where governments and companies are raising billions of pounds of new money. There is also a lack of competition that means they can charge huge sums for doing business." Last week, the firm predicted that President Barack Obama's government could issue $3.25tn of debt before September, almost four times last year's sum. Goldman, a prime broker of US government bonds, is expected to make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from selling and dealing in the bonds. 3400兆円の新しい国債をアメリカ政府が発行して、それがゴールドマンなどの証券会社経由で投資家市場に出回るのですから。 MikeRossTky June 21 イタリアで押収された偽アメリカ国債 － マフィア？ 邦人は釈放されている？イタリアで押収された偽アメリカ国債についてフォロー：http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/82091ec2-5c2f-11de-aea3-00144feabdc0.html
Whether the men are really Japanese, as their passports declare, is unclear but Italian and US secret services working together soon concluded that the bills and accompanying bank documents were most probably counterfeit, the latest handiwork of the Italian Mafia.
邦人かどうか？そしてマフィアが関連しているとファイナンシャルタイムズが報じている。
The mystery deepened on Thursday as an Italian blog quoted Colonel Rodolfo Mecarelli of the Como provincial finance police as saying the two men had been released. The colonel and police headquarters in Rome both declined to respond to questions from the Financial Times. “They are all fraudulent, it’s obvious. We don’t even have paper securities outstanding for that value,’’ said Mckayla Braden, senior adviser for public affairs at the Bureau of Public Debt at the US Treasury department. “This type of scam has been going on for years.’’ 誰かが、詐欺に巻き込まれたのか？ この二人が巻き込まれたのか？ でなければ、この二人が釈放されてわけが？ せめて、日本外務省に聞けばこの二人が誰だかわかるはずだが： Officials in Tokyo were nonplussed. Takeshi Akamatsu, a Japanese foreign ministry press secretary, said Italian authorities had confirmed that two men carrying Japanese passports had been questioned in the bond case but Tokyo had not been informed of their names or whereabouts. “We don’t know where they are now,” Mr Akamatsu said. 国債を使う事件がイタリアでベネズエラの銀行が関わった形で判明しているようだ： Italian prosecutors revealed last month that they had cracked a $1bn bond scam run by the Sicilian Mafia, with the alleged aid of corrupt officials in Venezuela’s central bank. Twenty people were arrested in four countries. The fake bonds were to have been used as collateral to open credit lines with banks, Reuters news agency reported. The Venezuelan central bank denied the accusations. それにしても日本のテレビでなぜもっと扱われていないのか？ それとも、私が見ているテレビでやって無かっただけ？
MikeRossTky June 19 偽造 － イタリアで押収されたアメリカ国債イタリアで押収された13兆円を超える価値を持つアメリカ国債は偽造されたものと判ったようだ：http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=adc1HD7mWY4A
U.S. government bonds found in the false bottom of a suitcase carried by two Japanese travelers attempting to cross into Switzerland are fake, a Treasury spokesman said.
“They’re clearly fakes,” Stephen Meyerhardt, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of the Public Debt in Washington, said yesterday. “That’s beyond the fact that the face value is far beyond what’s out there.”
Italy’s financial police last week said they asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to authenticate the seized bonds, with a face value of $134 billion. Colonel Rodolfo Mecarelli of the Guardia di Finanza in Como, Italy, said the securities, seized in Chiasso, Italy, were probably forgeries.

You can almost picture Tom Clancy sitting in his study thinking: “Damn! Why didn’t I think of this yarn and novelize it years ago?” He could have sprinkled in a Chinese angle, a pinch of Russian intrigue, a dose of Pyongyang and a bit of Taiwan-Strait tension into the mix. Presto, a sure bestseller.
Daniel Craig may be thinking this is a great story on which to base the next James Bond flick. Perhaps Don Johnson could buy the rights to this tale. In 2002, the “Miami Vice” star was stopped by German customs officers as he was traveling in a car carrying credit notes and other securities worth as much as $8 billion. Now he could claim it was all, uh, research.
誰が、何のために偽造したのか？北朝鮮の100ドル札偽造、保険詐欺などを考えると、北朝鮮が外貨を稼ぐために行った犯罪であるだろうと思われる。
さて、2名の邦人の正体は？
MikeRossTky June 18 久しぶりにブッシュ元大統領がスピーチ！ブッシュ元大統領が盛大な拍手で迎えられてのスピーチ行った。その中から一番好きな一言を：http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/18/bush-takes-swipes-at-policies-of-obama/
”Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States," he said to huge cheers.
オバマ氏は必死になって税金を使い雇用を産もうとしている。無理だ。他人のお金を使って雇用を作ろうとしても、その雇用から次の雇用は生まれない。
そして、
"When I look in the mirror, I say, 'He did not sell his soul for short-term politics.'"
きちんとした哲学を持って職に挑んだからこそ言える一言。
ブッシュが保守思想を貫いたとは言えない。しかし、自由を尊重した大統領と言えるだろう。
