Sky Peace and Bank

The Cat Detective Time-Warps.


Last Memo


After the cat stated the report and left,

everyone approached the white dove left behind.

Looking closely,

a last memo was tied to the dove's delicate legs.

The memo contained a proposal for a solution,

with a poem attached at the end.



Peace and Bank
(PROPOSING A SOLUTION)

The international community has been unable to stop
the repeated massacres of innocent people in Gaza.

The harm inflicted upon the people of Ukraine.

The grief of Israeli victims and their families.

And the harsh circumstances faced by child soldiers in Africa.

Every time we hear of these things,

why do we feel such profound pain
deep within our hearts?

It is because, even while knowing these problems,

we are allowing even more children to be killed.

If we pretend not to notice,

those who remain hidden without appearing on television

will continue to reap massive profits

through the same methods

at the cost of children's lives.

If we neglect to find a solution,

we will sacrifice children once again.

This is a great thorn piercing our hearts.

Then why has the education of each country
given us this knowledge?

It is because it wants us to think of solutions
that do not rely on military power.

Our weapon is the number of hearts
that can think with "compassion."

Let us begin.

To solve these problems without resorting to war,

the people of the world need two things:

a table for negotiation,

and the power to negotiate.

In fact, we already possess the power to negotiate.

It is the power of the masses
utilizing social media.

Then what about the table?

Unfortunately, we cannot negotiate directly
with those in power.

A president may smile at us,

but a president who has already embraced
numerous vested interests

cannot put our opinions into action.

If pressured by the billionaires
who got the president elected,

the president will adjust and execute interests
on a global scale for their benefit.

Even if it means the deaths of children
in other countries,

they will do so.

Can we negotiate on equal footing
with those in power who possess such immense wealth?

If we were heroes in a novel,

perhaps we could.

However, I cannot.

Then, is there no negotiation table left for us?

There is one.

The blood flowing through the body
called capitalism—

the organ where "the blood of money" accumulates.

Yes, the bank.

Why are banks our negotiating partners?

We all have accounts for our salaries or pensions.

These deposits are extremely important,

and if we move our deposits,

the banks' profits will decrease.

Regarding these deposits,

we are free to decide which bank to choose
and where to move them.

In other words,

we can make banks our negotiating partners.

Now, normally, weapons such as stealth bombers,

Patriot missiles, or expensive state secrets

are made with money received from the government.

High-income regular employees
at major defense corporations

contact national civil servants
rumored to receive post-retirement appointments

and manufacture them using money
received directly from the state.

However, in reality,

it is a lie that they manufacture
every single component of weapons
that take human lives.

Simple weapons of the kind that have existed
since the world wars are inexpensive
and are not classified as state secrets.

They are therefore mass-produced
in small subcontracting factories around the world,

using temporary workers and low-cost labor.

These weapons directly take the lives of children.

Landmines, which the late Princess Diana
condemned as inhumane, are a prime example.

Rifle ammunition and hand grenades
are also manufactured in small factories.

The same extends to components such as tank tracks
and screws,

which are subcontracted to smaller factories
by large corporations seeking to reduce costs.

And the owners of these small, local factories
do not obtain the funds they need
to keep their factories running from the government.

In most cases,

they obtain financing from the banks
in our own communities—

the same banks where we deposit our money.

For us living in Europe and Asia,
which house regional military industries,

deciding which bank to deposit our money in

is now a critically important moral issue.

It is like carefully shifting our weight
so that the sailboat called peace

does not lean to the right or left

and capsize amidst the winds of war.

If we consider which bank to deposit our money in

so as not to become complicit

in funding the military industry,

they will, at the very least,

no longer be able to obtain funding

for killing people from our deposits.

Furthermore,

private organizations

and universities around the world

must jointly, every year,

through investigation and research,

disclose to us the names of banks

that provide funding to the military industry.

This very mechanism is indispensable

for reducing the children sacrificed by war.

It is important to keep in our hearts

the children who are dying in conflict zones.

How we use this single "key"

that each and every one of us

can directly exercise

will determine how widely

the door to future peace is opened.



FASTEST CAT

Episode 1 Departure

I am a ninja cat.
I am not just a ninja cat.
I am a ninja cat who can read people's minds.
I am also a ninja cat who has the ability to freely travel through history, from the present to the past,
and I am an unusual esper cat.
My name is Sanzo.
I am a ninja cat so I am not a member of any organization
and live comfortably every day.
I always have a cat feather toy in my mouth.
Most of the time, people play with it.
This is to make them let their guard down.
I am a ninja.
Now, by chance, I have accepted the job of a detective
who travels through time and space to find out the truth about historical events and send articles.
The reason for this was that I thought it would be cool
to look like Sherlock Holmes traveling through history,
but it was very smart of them to choose me, the cat,
instead of a human esper.
There are many different types of human ninja, such as Iga, Koga, Fuuma, etc.,
each of which has its own psychics.
It is similar to how the FBI and CIA, which often appear in movies and TV programs,
have psychic agents.
But they are only human.
All humans have flaws.
One of the faults of human beings is that we tend to get angry.
This is common not only among ninjas, but also among those who rule,
as well as among ordinary people.
For example, in Japan's past history, samurai who did not know bushido
were quick to anger and quick to draw their swords.
Japanese swords are designed in such a way that when the sword is pulled out of its scabbard,
a small metallic sound can be heard,
and this metallic sound is called the sound of "koikuchi wo kiru" by the samurai.
In other words, the "koikuchi sound" is the same in meaning as the sound made at the moment before the bullet is fired,
when the firing hammer is raised and secured.
It is the sound that indicates that tension has reached its limit.
By the way, when I hear this sound,
I get nervous and fart.
When I fart “Puuuh,”
at that moment I am free to time warp.
Weaknesses become weapons.
Now, mankind is not all bad.
Humans have left behind many good words of wisdom and sayings.
Among them, my favorite is "Okotcha ya~yo."
The cute and comical expression of the words,
uttered with charm and sadness in the hope of "appeasing the other party's anger,"
still leaves a lasting impression on my mind.
I think it is an excellent word, very humorous and tasteful,
considering the history of mankind.
We work and live every day, but some people may go home carrying in their hearts
the various feelings that they experienced that day that cannot be put into words.
However, by the time the whole family goes home,
the lights that make up the city lights come on one by one.
There was a time when children imitated the tone of voice when this gag was played on the TV,
and men, women and the elderly all laughed together in front of the TV.
By the way, my favorite person is Issai Sato,
who is known for his words beginning with "Shunpuu," which means "Spring Breeze."
As I travel through history, I will try to wrap as many human deeds as possible in shunpuu,
and I will try to treat historical events in the same way.
No celebratory gun, but at the starting line,
nervous, Cat fart Puuuh.
"Farting is a deep breath of mind," the cat muttered.
Departure!
The ninja cat disappeared, leaving nothing but a sound like a sigh,
as if it had never been there in the first place.



Episode 2 World tour

I am, as requested, traveling through history.
And this mission is a world tour.
By the way, I am the fastest ninja in the world.
Why?
Because I have twice as many legs as a human being.
By the way, I am often compared with tortoises, but tortoises nowadays walk on two legs, right?
Therefore, I am the fastest.
So, just now, I felt like I was walking on the carpet in Hollywood, and I couldn't help but say:
“The fastest time traveler.”
When I tried to sound cool in English, my stomach got tense, and—Cat fart Puuuh.

As I walked along the road, I reached Rome.
A man who said, "My word is law" was about to enter the theater, so I went in with him.
A man named Brutus stared quietly at this man of the greatest political power.
The hallways of the theater were filled with tension.
Koikuchi's sound was heard.
In the solemn cloister, Cat fart Puuuh.

Warp.
The Chinese emperor likes the Japanese messenger
and says he will not return him to his country.
Koikuchi's sound was heard.
Cat fart Puuuh.

Warp.
Hmm, I'm lost.
It says "Canossa."
A king is kneeling to the Pope.
The sound of Koikuchi was heard.
Cat fart Puuuh.

Warp.
A 19-year-old woman led everyone to victory.
But after being used a lot, she was burned at the stake in the end.
By whom?
Koikuchi's sound was heard.
Cat fart Puuuh.

Warp.
It was like arriving in some modern country.
On a street corner, an adult was talking about how the economy was booming
after a conflict in another country.
From the bars and restaurants, I could hear people laughing and saying
that they wished there were more conflicts somewhere else and that the economy would continue to boom.
When the laughing adults returned home,
they handed boxes of presents to their children.
Did those children notice?
That inside those presents was the weight of a child's life in a war zone.
Cat fart Puuuh.

Warp.
"I have a dream," Martin Luther King tells everyone.
What would the problem of racism be without this man?
He has, no doubt, greatly broken down the walls of discrimination
that were built between people.
The great man was assassinated a few years after giving a speech
against the Vietnam War.
Koikuchi's sound was heard.
Cat fart Puuuh.

Warp.
President Trump was building a wall on the border.
The virus that is now prevalent, he calls the China virus.
Now, there is a video on TV showing an Asian citizen being beaten by a black man.
I wonder what Martin Luther King was thinking as he watched from the sky.
Koikuchi's sound was heard.
Cat fart Puuuh.

I warped and came back.
The arrival point is like a child's room somewhere in the world.
One child is looking at an illustrated book full of flags of the world.
I just heard the news on the radio.
The world I returned to from the past.
Germany has sent its latest tanks to Ukraine.
The United States has sent cluster bombs.
And Ukraine used those cluster bombs.
Putin is flicking strategic nuclear weapons.
In my mind, Koikuchi's sound was heard.
But I didn't warp.
Why?
Because the kid mumbled something like this faster than my ninja speed.
"Cat fart Puuuh-chin"




Episode 3 Sanzo Report

Today, I have safely returned,
so I am submitting this report here.
Now, where should I start?
As I mentioned before, my favorite phrase is "Okotcha-ya-yo."
This phrase was left behind by a Japanese comedian
who passed away due to COVID-19.
The reason I find "Okotcha-ya-yo" to be a very humorous, deeply meaningful, and excellent phrase
is that it acknowledges that uncontrollable righteous anger is a natural emotion everyone experiences,
while also suggesting some form of compromise.
From my perspective as a detective of human history,
people on opposing sides can get angry, and someone may manipulate events, leading to a war.
The problem is that once a war starts, people often do not realize they are being manipulated by others' intentions,
and when they want to stop, no one can halt it.
There are those who exploit the anger of people who have lost their precious family members during wartime
to sell cutting-edge weapons.
If weapons do not sell, storage costs accumulate.
They will rust from humidity,
so if unsold, they must be oiled,
and maintenance and labor costs must also be paid.
The longer weapons sit in the warehouse, the more their commercial value decreases,
so warehouses need to be emptied as quickly as possible.
If a conflict occurs somewhere,
and if the media stirs up the public
to justify exporting weapons to that country,
public support can allow, for example,
the warehouses of the national armies of the United States or Germany to be emptied.
The emptied warehouses can then receive weapons
from the warehouses of the arms industry before they rust.
Moreover, conveniently,
the taxpayers of those countries pay the cost
to the arms industry with their taxes.
Those who run the arms industry
not only relieve themselves of inventory burdens
but also receive enormous payments.
European bankers are well aware of this.
If they do not lend money to the arms industry managers,
those managers cannot pay the wages of workers
in factories producing the latest tanks and fighter jets,
and production lines cannot operate.
And of course, if the weapons are not sold,
the bankers cannot recover their loans or make profits.
So, who profits from using these bankers?
It is the corporations that want data on human casualties
from strategic nuclear missiles,
the huge capitalists who own the arms industry,
and their shareholders.
They manipulate and incite to earn even more,
exchanging the lives of people,
including children in combat zones,
for vast amounts of money and power.
Greedily.
They pray for the well-being of their own children in churches
while taking the lives of children in conflict areas.
Indeed, this is how world history has been made.
Conversely, if we do not allow ourselves to be manipulated
and calmly decide what we must do,
we can save as many children as possible
whose lives would be lost to future wars.
It minimizes the exchange between the profits obtained by the greedy
and the lives of people in wartime.
Our calm judgment and persistent negotiating power,
which restrain fierce anger,
will become increasingly important.
And peace is not a vague or ambiguous word.
Peace is a concrete, quantifiable measure
of how much banks have reduced the amount of money
they lend to the arms industry.
This number is the key to the human question
of how to reduce war on Earth and expand peace—
a shared understanding that 8 billion modern humans should have.
The bereaved will never see those who lost their lives again.
And if young people or children die
without ever having the time to enjoy their youth,
it is the responsibility of adults living in the present.
This concludes my report after returning from history.
Now, it is almost time.
I think white doves are necessary in modern times,
so I will leave them here.
See you later.
Cat fart Puuuh.




PEACE

Peace means
that children's smiles are as bright as the sun.
It also means that when those children become young adults,
they will be able to envision their future.
When you are justifiably angry,
I want you to think.
That the world is run by more cunning people.
If you really want peace,
you must be aware of the brainwashing of the cunning one.
Otherwise, we cannot prevail over human history.
May the world be wrapped in the palm of peace.
