I mentioned the Jewish conspiracy because all the buzz words are identical to the stuff from the 30s but no mention of the race of the subjects - just their names, which happen to be Jewish.

Why the hot money goes to Japan

By Andrew Cornell

A Tokyo-based US investment strategist, having delivered a convincing, well researched and unabashedly bullish spiel on the prospects for Japanese markets in the short, medium and even long term, wound up a phone call the other day with a question. "By the way," he said, "what are you doing about Y2K?" It was no idle inquiry.

Nisennen mondai, as the problem is known in Japan, emerged as an issue only very late in the piece here. Just 18 months ago, the Prime Minister didn't even know what it was.

Not because Japan is so high-tech, so awash with new technology that the problem doesn't exist, but because there has been a persistent psychological state of denial, a bureaucratic myopia and, with the country racked by economic crisis, a lack of financial commitment.
