ABE AND TEPCO: More than meets the eye.

    

 Is there a relationship between Abe's lack of decisive action on Fukushima Daiichi and TEPCO? One wonders.

ABENOMICS = REAGANOMICS: THE "TRICKLE DOWN" ECONOMY


By Aoi & Hayato Tokugawa


ABENOMICS: Just a rehash of Reganomics...which marked the decline of the American Middle Class...trickle down economics which turned out to be more like "tinkle down" economics.

A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM CATMAN

    


    This is Shinjuku - seedy tech underbelly of Tokyo. The catch basin of a shocking segment of Japanese youth, addicted to “tech.” Here, day and night, rain or shine, you can find the youth of Japan, “jonesing” for a “fix.” And their numbers increase daily, their minds numbed by apps, tweets, twitters, social media – sometimes they just stare blankly at vacant screens…their batteries having worn down.

     There are both “tech” addicts here and dealers – the perverse purveyors of the latest in “apps,” games, tablets and “pods.” The “pod society.” Addicts flock here hoping to get the latest app from the Apple cult, Microsoft, and a myriad of other manufacturers. Perhaps, they hope, they can “score” the latest Apple pod or some knockoff or imitation.

     You can sense, almost feel, their intelligence being sapped from their brains, right before your eyes. The “dumbing-down” of our future. Kids with finger tips inflamed from texting – kids with severe hearing losses from the blasting of music from iTunes and YouTube. Young bodies and minds damaged beyond repair.
But it’s not too late. There is something you can do to stop this tragic downward spiral to intellectual oblivion. Kids and perhaps a nation with no future. Take away your kids “tech” toys. Ignore the hype that they are harmless. Give your kids a book, some paper, art supplies. Make them go outside and play…even if it means locking them out for a few hours. And don’t whimper and whine that., “Oh, they might get hurt!” Cuts and bruises, scrapes and scratches are part of being a kind. They’ll be better adults for it.

     There is still hope…but time is running out.


     For Eyewitness News…this is Catman reporting.

HIJACKED: Episode 2 Of A New Old Film Starring Catman

     It looks bad! The government has been hijacked! Everything is shut down and the government is systematically being dismantled. The heads of government put their collective heads together and call the only person who might possibly be able to capture the desperadoes responsible and restore truth and justice to a nation that needs to be made safe for democracy. The message, the desperate cry for help goes out to the secret lair of intrepid caped crime-fighter Catman, hidden from prying eyes in the depths of San Francisco's Alcatraz Island.


     Deep within the island, down in the depths of "The Rock," in a laboratory known only to a few, the super-secret Cat Console is activated. Professor Archibald Quincy Nuts, of Scotland Yard, answers the call.


     Meanwhile, our intrepid furry feline hero is at the Fairmont Hotel, high on San Francisco's Nob Hill, doing a set with Tommy Dorsey and Sinatra.


     When the song is over, Catman sensing it is urgent, answers his super-secret two-way wrist radio. It's Professor Nuts.


     Professor Nuts immediately notifies the Washington D.C. Prefecture of Police who immediately jump into action.




     The next call is to Agent Elliott Hiss, head of a special unit of G-men known to one and all as...THE UNSCRATCHABLES!


     Catman immediately heads down California Street from Nob Hill and over to the Flood Building to the office of Spade & Archer, Private Eyes. Actually it's Catman, Spade & Archer, but the fuzzy, flea-bitten crime-fighter decided to become a silent partner in the operation after the Maltese Tuna case.


     And with that, Catman speeds east to Washington D. C. and a date with destiny!
